Selectorised dumbbells are by far the most convenient and easy to use weights after fixed weight versions. They usually have some form of weight selector whether that be a pin selector, knob or turnable handle that allows you to select the weight you need. The iron plates have a protective plastic cover (which is removable) which is pretty handy for home use so you don’t destroy your floor. It also means that these weight plates are incredibly robust and have excellent weight distribution. That being said, if money is no object then these are probably the out and out best adjustable dumbbells you can find. On the other hand, if functional training is more your bag, fixed weight dumbbells will be the one for you. If you need something a little heavier, you should take a look into the Bowflex 1090i dumbbells, which increase the maximum weight per dumbbell to 41kg! BOWFLEX SELECTTECH 1090I DUMBBELLSWith these dumbbells, you would be required to physically build up the bar yourself, ensuring you have even weight either side of the handle. If you don’t mind spending the extra time unloading and reloading the dumbbells, then these would be a great fit for you. Home Gym Review is made for Fitness Enthusiasts.

The Bowflex dumbbell pair comes with a 2 year warranty for home use and they are so robust they are likely to last for decades to come.
