Weight Lifting Equipment - Dumbbells

These are dumbbell blanks and weight plates. The plates on the floor are 2-1/2, 5, and 10 pounds each.   I highly recommend this type of dumbbell. They are cheap, safe, and allow you to use many different amounts of weight on one piece of equipment.   The dumbbells shown have the standard diameter: one inch, so all standard weight plates will fit on them. I do not recommend Olympic weights.   Finally, watch out because some dumbbells that claim to be "standard" actually have a diameter of 1-1/8 inch and most weight plates will not fit on them.
