Reddit mentions of Yes4All Adjustable Dumbbells - 105 lb Dumbbell Weights (Pair)

Don't get fancy adjustable dumbbells, get regular ones like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009GC76NW/

You can get heavier plates to add to them. Plus easier to find used. I've got a pair of these, and regular 1" barbell weights work fine on them, you can make 200lb barbells if you wanted. You should be able to find them used on Craigslist if you live in a city.

I loose weight very quickly with cardio, however I'm already on my feet all day at work. It's not cardio vs weight training. It's more important to enjoy the workout and push yourself. If she doesn't enjoy weight training, that's okay. Maybe after doing cardio for a while she'll decide to ease into other activities. If she's already frustrated with the diet, how is adding exercises she doesn't enjoy going to help solve anything?


If she enjoys cardio, and has time for it, it might be beneficial to eat a little more, but also exercise a little more too. Is she pushing herself? Running a little more, or a little faster every week or two is one option, or maybe she should try HIIT?

If she spends a lot of time sitting down on the job, it would be a good idea to get up and walk a lap, or do whatever she can get away with in her work environment every hour.


Is this really something she wants? I understand there are plenty of good reasons why you might make a post on Reddit for her, maybe she doesn't have an account etc. I have to wonder since you made the post, is this something you want for her more than she actually wants herself? Not trying to judge anyone here.


As for yourself, there's a set of adjustable dumbbells that go from 5 to 52 lbs for about $100 on Amazon, and a set that goes up to 100 lbs (each) for around $200. I bought a pair and I'm very happy with them: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009GC76NW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Luo0CbMV8YTTD

Dude that guy is way more muscular than the average dude. The only way you can look like that in a year is with steroids. Anyways, you can still make drastic progress in a year. Do what everyone else said and read the FAQ first. A gym is ideal but you don't have to go if you don't want to. Buy some adjustable dumbbells. You'll also need a pull up bar. Start doing phraks greyskull. It's a fantastic beginner program and all of the exercises can be done with dumbbells. Deadlifts are kinda awkward though, I'd take them out and just do squats, it's not ideal but it's better than nothing. Train hard, eat big, sleep well and you'll see obvious changes in 8 weeks. Stay consistent and you'll reach that goal pic in a few years.

TLDR: Do phraks greyskull and lift progressively heavier weights, eat enough to gain 0.5-1 pound a week, sleep well.

I got these about a year or so ago. I don’t think the 200 lbs was an option at the time and now I’m annoyed.

If you’re going with AX-1, I’d go to a used sports equipment store and find something like these variable dumbbells. I’d guess you can find them for about 50-70 bucks and you don’t need more than 40 pounds on each side to start, really. There are more convenient blocks but they are more expensive.

You will also want to pick up a used bench and pull up bar. Again, don’t bother with new.

Various weights of dumbbells are usually pretty expensive. If you are a beginner, I would suggest either a gym membership (rather than a $500 set of 5-50lb dumbbells) or an adjustable dumbbell set

I bought these back in January and have been very happy with them. They're an upfront investment, but when you consider that weights are generally $1/pound, they're fairly cost effective.

I'm looking into getting some heavier weights for my home gym. I have relatively little room and am cheap. Lately I've been doing pretty basic lifts and just trying to get stronger, while not negatively impacting my running, which is what I really care about. I have two 15 lb dumbbells and one random 25 lb plate, which are obviously really light. I'm hoping for some advice on what to get next.

I'm tempted to get some adjustable dumbbells, but I really like renegade rows and I'm not sure if adjustable dumbbells with plates would hold up. Buying just a couple hex dumbbells seems silly, since I'd probably just out grow them fairly quickly. Other options I've been thinking of are kettlebells or a sandbag filled something that isn't sand because I don't want sand in my house.

I can't fit a barbell or a rack in and I'm not willing to get something like the ironmaster dumbbells, which are outside my budget. Any ideas on what I should pick up?

whats a good starting dumbell kit I was looking at this one :

https://www.amazon.com/Yes4All-Adjustable-Dumbbells-52-5-105/dp/B009GC76NW?th=1

the 100lb set one

Nah I wouldn't spend that much, something like this will do you just fine:

The most versatile equipment you can probably get would be a good dumbbell set.

Solid handle, and a large amount of weights

[Something like these](105 lbs Adjustable Cast Iron Dumbbells - ²DWP2Z https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009GC76NW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Ry8jyb7RNBHS6)

I just went through this same dilema between getting something cheap, and what I really wanted. I ended up with the 105 lb set of these. (That's 52.5 lbs in each hand and it comes with two handles obviously).

I like them so far. It's a little annoying to change weights in the middle of a workout, but it sets a consistent rest time in between exercises at least (which may or may not be a good thing depending on who you are, but I like how it paces me).

They were cheap, work just as well as any other ones I've used. So for $100 shipped, why not.

If you're just looking for DB's I would go with something like this. They're adjustable and actually a pretty fair price for a set. They are 105 lbs total, so they go up to 52.5 lbs each. I would also get a barbell so you can do some compound stuff as well.

DB's

Can be a little time consuming changing weights, but good value for the money

Try to get the carbs down to 20 grams a day. I'd say scrap the jogging and just buy a couple of weights. Here are some good ones. Now just use those in every way possible for the same duration as your jog. Don't take breaks either. I guarantee it will help.

If you don't want to take up so much space, I recommend adjustable dumb bells.

For a (total) $200 pound set, I'd say https://www.amazon.com/105-Adjustable-Cast-Iron-Dumbbells/dp/B009GC76NW/ref=sr_1_4?s=exercise-and-fitness&ie=UTF8&qid=1469722765&sr=1-4&keywords=adjustable+dumbbells is as inexpensive as you're going to get (I just got them). I hate playing the Craigslist game - I'm not going to spend 45 minutes and $15 in gas to potentially save $25.

Get a set of adjustable dumbbells. You can get a set of two 52.5 adjustable dumbbells for $70 + shipping on Amazon here. You can go up to 80lbs with them if you buy more plates. If you're willing to pay more, you can get some that adjust the weight more quickly.

Highly recommend these:

Oh the dumbbells are these (the 105lb set):

I weight around 125 lbs right now. 5'10''. Male. So I'm really skinny. I'm not really looking for anything high-end because I may get a power rack later. This weight lifting equipment will help me get started toward that goal.
