I'm looking to purchase adjustable dumbbells so I can increase the weight without having to buy new equipment. I've looked at several different products and the price is all over the chart - from $50 to $900.
Anyone have a recommendation for a good set (that doesn't cost more than rent)?
Depends how much your rent is I researched this not too long ago and I ended up buying the power blocks. I think they are more stable and don't have the risk of plates falling out like other systems do.
The thing that worried me about the cheaper ones was the danger of plates falling. I read various reviews of ones that are 'dial' adjustable and many people said after a few months, it wasn't unusual to have a plate fall. Now personally, I rather not risk that with the weight over my head. The powerblocks are also more compact than many of the other adjustables.
