Dumbbells weights

There is usually not much difference in freeweights. Weight is weight, however are you wanting the 'set' ones made of iron and are 35 lbs, 10 lbs etc. or are you wanting dumbells that you can add/subtract weight from?

If I didn't have a set of dumbells that one on tv (that has the stack dial) is a pretty good deal actually although I would want to research the 'dial' quality more.

Note: it is never cheaper to buy dumbelss through the mail.
 
Free weight is pretty standard then, eh?
Meh. I'm not into the add/subtract weight thing.

Thanks for the help :)
Shipping and handling would be expensive :p
Imagine the UPS guy dragging around 200lbs worth of weights :p
 
Look through your local newspapers and wanted ads, weight equipment is always much cheaper when bought from someone's basement than from a store.
 
I agree with the "look in the local paper" thing. There are people clearing shit outta their basement all the time trying to get a few bucks before it goes into the trash.
 
In the classifieds or wherever, also look for the "free" section. People just don't want to haul those weight off a lot of time. You'll have to wade through a lot of people getting rid of satellite dishes and "trambopalines!"
 
You can try Big 5 or Sportsmart, they're chains over here in CA but I think they're called something else in other parts of the country. As for pricing, when you buy weights you can usually get a pair of x weights for around x dollars. i.e. pair of 20 lb round weights (40 total) for $20.
 
On second thought, just visit any sporting goods store. Theres usually some package for around $50 that has 100 lbs in weights, a straight bar, and 2 dumbell bars. That should be sufficient for your home workout needs.
 
Has anyone wathed that Bowflex ad, with the dial-a-lb dumbbells? Those look interesting and I was wondering if the quality was any good. Especially on that tiny dial. And yes, I have the ones you switch out, but I get lazy switching out the weight after every set :p .
