has anyone tried any of these and can u tell me if there good

i can't recommend any for i haven't used any.

put ironmaster's Quick lock dumbbell on your list, it's a bit on the expensive side but worth the look

I can't give you much help either since I've never used any of those. I have the basic screw-on ones. They can't change weights quickly so I bought quite a few. Anyway, those all look pretty good to me, especially if you need them for the P90X workouts. If I were you I would just read up on their revues and see which ones are the best. Search them on google. Hope you find what you're looking for. Try ebay too maybe they have a bit of a cheaper price. The shipping might cost you though.. Cheers!

i just ordered the p90x and i wanted to be prepared before it came. i did a lot of research on adjustable dumbells and if you are willing to spend the money i recommend the powerblocks. the bowflex and weider ones supposedly the weights can fall out. and the other one that was recommended with the quick change weights really isnt that quick when you have to do it 4 times. go to powerblocks.com and search for a dealer near you. if you can find one you can try them out and save money on shipping. hope this helps and good luck!

Golds Gym Adjustable dumb bell weights. 5pds to 25pds $49.99 @ Walmart.

For weight less than the 60lb mark, I would suggest the powerblocks. Ive spent several days reading reviews and heading out to stores to test all of them...and while I love the look of the bowflex, the powerblocks were much more sturdy, smaller etc...everything that you read in reviews online.

Another thing of note...every store I went to I asked the people working what they thought of the two and they all said the same thing: lots of their patrons have had problems with the bowflex (gear issues, rattly weights, etc.) and no complaints about the powerblocks.

Who knows. Check this out as well for a size comparison etc. If you are doing bicep curls, those bowflex are oftly wide to be holding two...

Well, for men, 25 lb is just not enough. I got the Gold's Gym Switch Plate 100 with stand @ Sports Authority a couple of years ago. They are well made and weight changes are easy. I can't recommend them though. Mostly because of the bulk. They are longer and wider than even the biggest 50 lb solid dumbbell and they really get in the way on a lot of P90X routines. If you have the space, I would recommend getting individual dumbbells, they still are the most practical IMO.

Have you tried the one and only P90X workout tracker software on the market?

WeightLoss-HQ has finally written up a review. While it doesn't cover EVERY dumbell we wanted to get the ball rolling. PLEASE do leave a blog comment if you have others to add to the list, be nice to keep it growing. Here is the article:

Adjustable Dumbells

One of the first purchases you should make for your home gym is a good pair of adjustable dumbells.

Dumbells are a versatile, cost effective and space efficient solution for building muscle and strength training at home. Mainly because they're much smaller than any home gym and they offer an unlimited number of exercises. Pair them with a quality weight bench or exercise ball and you've got an instant personal home gym!

The new dumbell styles like the PowerBlock and Bowflex Selecttech dumbells make it easy to find a set that will work with your space requirements and budget. They're just a snap away to change the weight quickly between exercises!

Next, take a step up to high end dumbbells. Your options are the traditional hex dumbbells and pro style dumbbells like they have at health clubs. Both of these options are the best if you're building a personal home gym and have the space to use and display them.

I bought a pair of the Bowflex off of Ebay. They are the '2009' design that has been enhanced to prevent plate slippage. I'm very happy with them and they are a breeze to use. I got them for less than the list price on the bowflex site and they were delivered in less that 48 hours.

Hope this helps...

I have the Bowflex Selecttech 552s. I like them a lot, although I wish they were smaller (narrower). But they are a breeze to be able to change weights and such.

Why do you need the adjustable/all-in-one dumbbells?

The reason I ask is because this is the most expensive route you can go (and being a huge cheapskate, I'm always thinking about money.) If space is a problem then this is the way to go, otherwise regular adjustable dumbbells (with the spin lock collars) are the way to go.

If there is a used sporting goods store near you, you can usually find weight for 50 cents a pound (new it runs about one dollar a pound.) The dumbell bars run 15-20 dollars a set (weight about 5 pounds each).

When you work out the numbers, it is way cheaper to make up 3-4 sets of dumbells of various sizes than it is to buy the adjustable sets (especially if you are buying used weight plates.)
