My dad picked up these new dumbells and as skeptical as I was at first, they're awesome! 5 to 52.5 lb DBs. They have a dial on the side where you enter in what weight you want and when you lift up it lifts the plates you want and leaves the others.
I can't believe it's from bowflex. /forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with them really. A lot of people don't like them a whole lot because they only go up to 52.5lbs.

[malsI]

Coz will be happy /forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[NutMeg]

well yeah, but apparently they're more expensive than they need to be....

[tom10]

Way too **** expensive. I could make my own home gym for less than what those things cost.

[JoeGT]

Yeah I saw a commercial for those yesterday... Looked cool!

[JoE DoN 216]

ive seen them at sharper image a million times, for the price its no where near worth it and what good are 50 lb dbs /forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[sucramdw]

I guess there strictly for curls huh? Your dad must have sume mulah to be buying dumbells only for curls...

[JoE DoN 216]

Hail the power rack.

[RaiseDaBar88]

How much are they?

I would think they'd be cheaper cuz they're one of those tv offers

[JoE DoN 216]

lol let me give u a hint, im not sure if they had the bowflex ones at sharper image cuz the ones hes describing sound nicer, the ones i saw you gotta physically move a tab over to each plate, and for the 5-25 pound dumbell its 150 for a pair

[JoE DoN 216]

holy crap i just looked them up, they retail for 500 bucks............................ so he probably forked over 350-450 bucks for them X_X nooooooooooooooo, they are cool but omfg thats alot of cash

[MrsMansonOzz]

The idea of those is nothing new. Cool, yes, but overpriced.

[DukeOfEarl]

What is this bowflex that you speak of? I don't think we have it over here...

[bennyhanna1]

I have a similar product, but at the moment mine only go to 45, but theres an adapter to 65, they are cheaper, but not as slick as those bowflex dumbells

LOL I know better than to pay that much. At my current strength I can do some good high volume stuff with em. and now I just have to by 65s 75s and maybe some 85s for now.
