Adjustable dumbbells are a system that allows you to change the weight that you are using while working out with the equipment. Weights may range from as low as 2 pounds to as much as 100 pounds, depending on the set you are using. Adjustable dumbbells are placed in a cluster, and you will change the location of the switch on the set to remove the correct weight.
Ironmaster Dumbbells
Ironmaster Dumbbells is a set recommended by the Exercise Equipment Expert website. The set is well known and has an easy system that allows you to make only a partial turn in order to add or remove plates. They are durable and the user will not experience the rattling that is common with certain adjustable dumbbells. The range of adjustment for the set is between 5 and 75 pounds per hand weight.
Bowflex Dumbbells
Although Bowflex is better known for their home gyms, the company also produces a line of adjustable dumbbells. The Exercise Equipment Expert website also recommends this set. Their line of dumbbells has various weight ranges that depend on how much resistance you wish to use. For example, the Bowflex 552 has a 5 pound to 52.5 pound range while the Bowflex 220 has a 2.5 pound to 20 pound range. A dial at the end of the adjustable dumbbells will need to be turned in order to change the resistance. An optional stand is available for easier access to the Bowflex dumbbells.
PowerBlock Dumbbells
The PowerBlock Dumbbells is listed as one of the best fitness products by Better Fitness Products. It uses a compact system, which is ideal if you don't have a large area to keep the weights. The weights are available as high as 90 pounds per hand. You will use the selector pin to make your weight choice in increments of five pounds. Once you make your selection, the pin stays in place until you return the hand weights to the base.
