Default So...I need some dumbbells.

And they're expensive as balls!
Anyone here use an adjustable set? Something like this:

I don't know how reliable these are. Don't want a plate falling off and hitting me in the head or something.

Last time I bought dumbbells it was like 70 cents a pound. It's not that expensive, get your ass to the nearest fitness depot.

um...from what I've seen, individual dumbbells are even more expensive than that.

Lueb...I would use 10s for penis curls.

Space is the biggest issue.

yeah...ok, I don't need anything below 20, but still it's that expensive, plus it takes up way more room.

and it only goes up to 50
