Seems to be a price mistake, The 105LB set is $286 Old school set but you can add the https://kensui.com/products/adapt...3sQAvD_BwE to turn these into a nice dumbell set. I feel like these old school dumbells are just as fast to change as popular adjustable dumbells like the Highly recomended Eisenlinks but slower than Powerblocks or other more expensive models

Great deal, but the problem with these types of dumbbells is that when you put a lot of weight on them, you cant really rest them on your legs before the exercise, the ends are too sharp and uncomfortable, you will need an assistant every time to set it up, makes no sense. If you are strong enough to lift over 60 pounds of dumbbells in each hand , get yourself standard stand alone units 60 - 70 - 80 and so on.

Get a gym membership if you get above 40lbs. Unless you have $200,000 to invest in a house an gear to replicate a gym. Cost $1000-2000 to get a starter setup for me before. That became useless an incomplete eventually. Tho 2x 100lb dumbell sets isn't for noobs to start so maybe pro home gyms is all this is for? The 17 inch bar will get in the way of everything that ain't bench and probably some of that motion too?

which is exactly why I recommended the Kensui handles above for those people that need it. They solve that issue!

I use standard adjustable DBs like these for romanian deadlifts and rows. Yes they are somewhat impractical for heavy DB bench press but if you really want you can buy nice quality DB stands and it would still be more space and cost effective than buying a heavy set of DBs.

I used to go to the gym 3-4 times a week. Now I work out at home with just a pullup bar, a weighted vest, and one 40lb dumbbell. I've never been stronger. Learn how to make things work.

Just watch marketplace and craigslist. I have a decent cage, about 400lbs of free weights, and the power block set from woot with both expansion sets, a summit climber, roman bench, and a power tower. Plenty good to hit every muscle group. Ran me about 1k total.

Last I checked those power blocks/adjustable get in the way of range of motion; that's why I go with these. You can't do wrist curls with them and they are so bulky you can't do several moves. Like a curl stops cause they hit your abs before fully extending down. And behind the head triceps presses will scrape your spine . I find the standing behind the head press to be the most effective for full range of motion on the tricep and dumbell kick backs don't do the joint well. Just changing up the move to a new one helps too once you get some tendon soreness.

calves are impossible to hit without a machine. Hips too. The ankle straps for cable machines wreck the knee. Plus if you do end up trying to buy a single dual cable machine to replace some moves they only go to 90lbs per cable or 120lbs if you buy the best of the best plus additional weight.

I have a few other things myself that are specific to me. I break standing bags, break heavy bag chains which would also break the beams in a house. I do a full range of motion on abs laying backwards on the HGD and it really targets the bubble gut; no other ab workout replicates a full range of motion. You are doing only about 60% ROM any other way.

Currently in a 2nd floor apt, I need to have a basement or ground level with no lower floor as well. I wouldn't trust 1000lbs of weight + racks and machines elsewhere. I've had machines and ceilings collapse so I'm aware how lucky I've been they collapsed slowly or centimeters away from my face.

Craigslist requires a truck; and a team of movers for large bulky items. So factor that into the cost of each peice if you don't have them already.

FYI
-some people have the means and space for a full gym at home
-it isn't that much of a financial investment (in ref to your "$200,000 to invest in a house an gear to replicate a gym" comment), especially when you consider lack of reoccurring charges and zero time wasted traveling from work / home to the gym and back again
-lots of people own a truck and / or a trailer. Or have a friend who they can trick into helping Wink

-a "team" of two people for an afternoon is hardly an insurmountable obstacle
-your use case doesn't automatically apply to the other 8 billion people on earth.

*That being said, I don't disagree this set has utility however it seems like you are projecting a lot into this conversation about everything BUT the deal.
