Dumbbells : Question and Answer

A:

Selectorized dumbbells (like the Bowflex SelectTech 552 Dumbbells) are the best dumbbells if you don't have much storage space but still want a lot of different weight resistance options. If you are on a budget, adjustable dumbbells (like the CAP Barbell 40-Pound Dumbbell Set & Case) will require changing weight plates manually, but they are just as compact as selectorized dumbbells and are significantly less expensive. Depending on how many weight resistances you want, selectorized or adjustable dumbbells might actually be more cost effective than traditional, fixed-weight dumbbells sets. However, if you have enough room and money for traditional dumbbells, we highly recommend fixed-weight sets since they are generally safer than selectorized/adjustable ones and they are also better for speed circuits because you can change out weights more quickly during your workout.
