Been looking for a set of adjustable DBs for a while to fill in the gaps in what I have right now. The fact that the company makes every replacement part available for purchase suggests they have a strong customer focus and would give me a lot of confidence in buying these.
Yeah I've been super impressed with the customer service. Overall people's reviews seem very positive about them too and they're standing the test of time now- not just some company that will disappear tomorrow, which is always a bonus! Check out the unboxing video too as there were some issues with that but they sorted it out very quickly for me
This has came at a great time for me. Ive been saving up to get a pair of adjustable dumbells in the Black Friday sales , and was pretty certain i was going to get the 40kg hex 2.5 incriment dumbells from Braingain. After reading through the comments here im not 100% sure any more. If im spending that kind of money i want something that is going to last. Seeing as they sell replacement parts for the dumbbells in your video, it might ne worth spending the extra 100/150 pound and getting them. Man i was so sure too , decisions decisions!! Subbed btw 😊
Yeah I do like the braingains too- I haven’t got my hands on a pair to review but used the Nuobells before. The one thing that puts me off on these is the amount of reviews you see about people saying the plastic bit broke- and it’s quite expensive to replace. Plus now I really like the 1.5 increments- I didn’t think I would this much haha! Got your eyes on anything else for Black Friday?
Yeah mate I've just ordered the 157.5kg cast iron plate and Olympic bar set from factory weights , 320 quid with delivery reduced from 420!! I still haven't pulled the trigger on the dumbells yet tho , just Braingain has some great deals on ATM, but longevity is a must when your spending 400+ 👌
@cruff4 I bought the octagon braingains during the black Friday sales and I love them! Best purchase I've made for the home gym so far, can't recommend them highly enough !! The little wedges that lock into the next plates are like a hardened plastic , definitely not metal , but I'm quite heavy handed and they are still perfect
I'll never understand people who throw dumbels or plates. It shows a real lack of respect. If you can lift it, you can put it back normally. The only reason you'd ever drop dumbels is to save your life if you're blacking out from lifting.
I only drop rubber dumbbells at the end of bench presses from the lowest point I can get them WHEN nobody else is in the gym. They drop maybe a foot to the rubber floor mat. I totally agree, throwing or dropping from height is reckless, and disrespectful.
They have the black edition out now which is supposed to be an upgrade on these, this is what the company said "The black dumbbells are powder coated and have a different plate design and interface. The new interface means that there is less metal on metal contact which reduces noise" The black edition are currently £49 more than the chrome ones
Oh nice I heard these were coming out I’ll speak to them and see what they say about them- personally I’d prob go for the normal ones, the metal on metal doesn’t bother me at all. Unless you have a black theme and want the look I can’t imagine it’s worth it
Are you happy with the adjustable stand or do you wish you went for the fixed heavy duty version? Just about to buy a set and not sure how stable the adjustable stand will be on its high setting?
Yeah the stand is great no issues at all. I had it on the highest setting initially no issues, I now have it lower as it’s easier to rack and un rack IMO
Yeah totally fine- for what I use them for they will defo last me forever (unless something weird happens) the holder broke when they shipped it to me. I told them and they replaced within 2 days. No issues when using it normally and you can buy a replacement for about £20 I think if it was to break - customer service is very good if you do have issues
Too right!! I actually had a video of my 18 month old deadlifting one, wanted to add it in but just felt forced… best thing about having the home gym IMO 🙌
It looks like these are like version 1 of the Trulap dumbbells. Version 2 has a more aggressive knurling. Version 2 has also a more robust cradle, and less rattling.
The discount doesn't work on the 41. 5 Dumbbells at the moment. Do you think it is worth waiting until the sale ends to use your code or better to buy them at current price (£500) many thanks
Yeah I’ve had so many notifications of people buy them recently but no commissions so I imagine it’s because of the discount they have currently. The discount with me makes them just under £500 so prob not much in it- usually better just to get them while you can as you never know if prices will increase (unlikely to get much better price than £500 IMO)
I’m 6 foot 1 but have weirdly small hands. Like I mentioned in the video I kind of find it’s been a benefit for grip strength without even realising jt. My other adjustable dumbbells are a similar diameter to these too and most dumbbells do have a thicker diameter than a barbell- but from all the ones I’ve seen these are probably about as thick as they come. Have you got any dumbbells already?
@@stronghomegym Thanks for coming back. I dont have any dumbbell at home and fancy to get one. I have been going to a gym which they use technogym dumbbells, believe it should be 32- 35 mm diameter for the handle, is it roughly the same with this one? sorry if i have missed in the video.
@@matthewchan1990yeah these are 35mm… and no that’s a good question haha, I think I said it in the unboxing video but I overlooked that part in this video. Any other questions fire away
I know they’re made in Asia so probably yes! Gym sets are just the same a Nuobells- they feel great, just a lot of people showing reviews of the plastic handle breaking at some point. If you’re careful with them they feel great to me, but defo a risk of breaking more than these
I've been seriously considering these for my home gym instead of what I currently have. I've currently got a full set of 2.5-40kg in 2.5 increments (with flex plates for smaller increments) I'm being told don't do it as a full set is better but it just takes up so much space. Have you had any rust form on the handles or anywhere else? My current set have rubber handles so rust isn't an issue. The main question, would you swap out a full set for these given the choice?
As any good answer goes- it depends! First of all anything metal can rust, especially if it gets wet and you never clean it. I haven’t had them long enough to see any rust though. Secondly I would personally prefer a full rubber set- as you can see in the video you can literally throw them around and they’ll be fine. However, if it freed up space to put in a bit of equipment (like a cable machine or leg press/ extension if I really wanted it- or maybe it allows you to hang a bike on the wall or something else) then it’s a no brainer for me in a home gym. I’m guessing you’d be able to sell them for a similar amount on marketplace. Bottom line- it’s up to you unfortunately. What would the extra space be needed for? Do you look after your equipment and don’t throw the dumbbells around?
@@stronghomegym I definitely take very good care of my equipment and never drop my DB's either, however, I should probably do barbell maintenance etc more regularly LOL! I had another full set previously with metal handles and rust started to appear after around a year and it was a pain cleaning so many, which is why I opted for rubber handles, they also aren't cold in winter. I think my issue is that i've got a lot of equipment already (Half rack, pulley tower, leg press/hack squat, leg ext/curl etc) and getting these adjustables would potentially open up the space more. I'm finding it difficult finding a way to store all my dumbbells and kettlebells differently to how I currently am and although it's okay, I'd like it to look a bit better. I totally get your answer as it's only me who can decide. I think I need to find someone who has the adjustables near me so I can try them, as it'll be a bit of a process selling my set and custom DB rack. I'm a moderator in a large home gym group on FB so I'm hoping I can find someone there! Appreciate the response mate, much appreciated!
@@Ashliano86oh nice what group is it? To be honest after using these I personally don’t think I’d need rubber hex dumbbells again for what I use them for. I’d prob still just use these anyway as it is pretty convenient! I also have some adjustable Bells of Steel kettlebells- they’re a game changer for space (12-32kg)
@@stronghomegym It's called "Home Gym U.K Community" has around 23k members, there are rules around social channels etc but it's a great group for discussions etc. It's good you've said that about the adjustable DBs and I'm definitely veering closer to just biting the bullet and getting them. If I do I'll keep my fixed set until tested and sell what's easiest to part with I guess. May become an expensive test expensive but possibly a risk worth taking. I did look at adjustable KBs before but I have a set of Competition KBs 8-32kg in 4kg increments and I'm glad to say unlike the DBs they don't take up much space.
@@Ashliano86thought I replied to this already, I’m in that group it’s defo one of the better ones in the UK for sure. Did you go for the adjustables in the end?
Yeah as safe as any other dumbbells I’ve used. Is it because the plates move a bit that you think it may not be safe? The inner part that you hold when doing goblet squats doesn’t move if so
@@stronghomegym The movement doesn't bother me, it's more the weight/pressure on the mechanism holding it all together, I'd be scared that it'd be too much on the side at the top, and the shaft/mechanism would pull out.

@@stronghomegym I've got a set of Gymbeing dumbbells bought during the madness of lockdown, 70kg of 2.5kg slim plates with allenscgew collars. They've been excellent but I'm looking for quicker changes etc. if I can get something that suits I'll just use the Gymbeing plates with the Z bar and kettlebell handle.

I haven’t made plans to- I’ve had a go with some Nuobells before and they do feel great. Arguably more so than the braingains due to the rattling. But I’ve seen so many people complain about those types breaking- it’s the plastic bit on the frame which eventually goes and they’re not so easy to replace or repair- but if you’re careful with them they do feel great. Would you like to see a review of them?
I bought the braingain octagons before i bought these, went for the octagons over the round ones because the site said they are the most durable adjustable dumbbells from braingain, however they broke after about 6 months, the sides misaligned, luckily i was still under warrenty so i got some new handles and they were sound. However through some research into fixing them i came across a vid by glucks gym on nuobells and how the cam followers are plastic and will wear out no matter what happens, i checked my old handles and sure enough they were the same design and had started to wear out. Did some research into the design of the assassins and found although they had plastic in them too, they are much more serviceable and dont contain any plastic on metal grinding that would excessively wear down the mechanism, and assassingoods sell replacement parts which is great. So i quickly sold the braingains and bought the assassins, couldnt be happier even if i lost some money in the process. I understand its a costly purchase for a video, the only thing is braingain vs assassingoods seems to be the conversation in the uk right now, so i think it would be good to have a resource comparing them for the uk home gym users. The braingains do have some advantages, such as the issue with the plates falling over is not nearly as common with the braingains as the plates are wider, they arent as bulky and i prefer the stand for the braingains, however the assassingoods ones wont just die on you, which i think gives them the edge. Sorry for the long comment, hope this helps
Yeah I think most people would be very happy with either of these tbh. The reason I’d personally say these beat them are the smaller increments (I didn’t realise how handy they’d be for me personally) and there’s less plastic (less chances of them breaking over time). But for sure I’d be very happy with the brain gains, I’ll try and get my hands on some at some point

@stronghomegym Thank you for your response. Tell me honestly, do you think it’s worth buying these dumbbells? I have very little space, and I’ve been considering them for a while. They’re now on sale with a stand for £585, which I think is an attractive price. However, I’m still not entirely sure about the durability of the equipment.

@@sparkyy2890ah nice I should have read this comment first haha! Seems like you know your dumbbells 😉 have you got a set of assassin goods too then?
@stronghomegym got some replacement handles for the braingains and sold them sharpish, then yeh bought the assassingoods ones, youre right they do fall over easier in the cradle, but i love them
@@sparkyy2890so your Braingains broke?
Hi!
Is your discount code still valid?
I believe so, Black Friday sales can often mess up codes though as you can’t usually get 2 discounts
@stronghomegym Thank you for your response. Tell me honestly, do you think it’s worth buying these dumbbells? I have very little space, and I’ve been considering them for a while. They’re now on sale with a stand for £585, which I think is an attractive price. However, I’m still not entirely sure about the durability of the equipment.
