Was looking for a set of adjustable dumbbells, cheapest it's ever been I believe.
Surprisingly free shipping to metro W.A for me as I could not get the dumbbells from Kogan shipped to my household before (might be linked to EOFY code)
Read in previous post on Ozbargain that there's a warning to not use overhead but I got these mainly for convenience of supersetting heavy chest press/incline and will cover overhead with my barbell.
How smart does a piece of metal you lift and put back down have to be?
This seems like an amazing deal considering they go up to 40kg. Any downsides apart from the potential of breakage by dropping them too hard?
Bulky as hell and yes you cannot drop them or hit them together hard.
I had a bowflex version of these ~10yr ago that I bought back when moving from the US.
One morning, I had one the weight unlock and fall on my toe. Thinking it was minor damage I went to RNSH as it was stone throw away to get it patched up. Ended up at RNSH for 3 nights and was unable to walk for a month, and it took me over an yr to get back to normal.
Yes for the love of god. Please check before and after use with these.
Convenient and space saving? Yes.
Potential to be dangerously if misused? THROUGH THE ROOF.
Bulky and long - cant get that almighty squeeze at the top of a dumbell press because you cant get your hands as close as youd like. There are also rare occasions where when lifting the dumbell out of the rack, it snags a plate next to it that was not locked in, which can cause the plate to lift and drop unexpectedly (luckily its only dropped a couple cm from the rack so no toes have been smashed). And no dropping of the dumbell so of course you cant be a lunatic - i find this can be a plus if you are training to handle heavy weight safely.
Looks to be sold out already
Still available to check out for me. Do they refund you if it is sold out or something?
Lucky for you.
It's listed as sold out for the dumbbell pair - so I can't actually add it to cart and purchase.
Price goes down regularly
Paid $199 + $60 for shipping, total $259 (not a first member) on 9th of June
Also note that shipping is not till 30th of September
I think you’re thinking of the 24kg Version
you're right
hands in ozB license
not adjustable but got a 40 kg dumbell steel ( not concrete fill) set from kmart $49 …rebel are $99 ….. barbell and dumbell $50 kg set big W $149 …..so you use weights for dumbell or barbell, and the weight are std 25 mm hole if you want more for $3kg.
The aldi dumbell sets for $20 each would have been great (20kg per side)
You got a link?
no link, they come up every so often
Why does the thumbnail look like it's made of lego?
I was just able to order this in Brisbane, so it's definitely not OOS everywhere :~)
Awesome! Yeap I can still order for Perth
Got mine. Like 'em!
How long did it take them to ship out the dumbells? Mine are still waiting to be dispatched.
Ordered 29th June, sent out 30th June, arrived 1st July.
Smart dumb things are tight.
