What's The Best Dumbbel Size to Purchase Over 60 Pounds?

Hi Kyle,


What is the best dumbbell size to purchase over 60 lbs.? Go with 70,80,90lb or go with the 65 and +5 lb on? (as in 65,70,75 80,85, 90 lb for My home gym)? Thank You,


Mario







Hi Mario,


Thanks for the question. I don't know if there is a "best" dumbbell to have. It depends on how much you want to spend, your strength levels, your goals, and how much room you have.
So to make a long story short you have many options.


You could pick up the 60-90 lb. dumbbells and work with those. You could also go with the 65-95 lb dumbbells. Either option would be just fine.


You could also buy some heavy duty Power Blocks thatadjust from 5-85 lbs. and have a huge variety in weight to work with in one easy to find spot (the power blocks take up a lot less space in your home gym as well!).


One thing I would like to recommend if you do go with the Hex Dumbbells is to pick up some magnetic Plate Mates.


You can pick these up in 1.25 lb increments or even in 2.5 pound increments. You could pick up a pair of 1.5 lb. plate mates (2 of them on one dumbbell would allow you to jump up by a reasonable 2.5 pounds).


If you went with the 2.5 pound plate mates you could have the 5 pound jumps that you wanted and save yourself a boatload of cash and a lot of space.

I hope that helps Mario and keep me posted on your progress!
