- In this video we're discussing which rubber hex dumbbells to choose, Rogue Fitness or Rep Fitness . I also talk about alternatives like adjustable dumbbells and generic options. Rogue and Rep are solid options but they have some differences you should know about before you buy.
We'll talk about which should go into your garage gym and why. Because of Covid I own both Rogue and Rep items and while I'm happy with how my home gym is coming out I'm hoping this video may help you decide on your dumbbells.

After hours of research I feel like I know more about dumbbells than any person should... What's your thoughts on these and other dumbbells? Got a favorite or one I should try? Let me know in the comments!
I got myself a set of Powerblocks and regretted it ever since. It would be nice to see Rep, Rogue, Eleiko, and Iron Grip dumbbells side by side. When looking for a full set (beyond those targeted for beginners), those are really the only brands that people seem to hold in high regard.
Hey man I followed your recommendation and got the Rep dumbbells. Unfortunately 7 of the 10 dumbbells I received has flat spots and bad knurling issues straight from the factory. Literally no QC. love your review though and I’m glad you got a flawless set.
That's insane. I've got a bunch of their stuff and haven't seen anything that bad. I'm so sorry. Did you try reaching out to them? I'd love to know what their response is.
Thank you for the review on these weights. It has helped me decide which one to go for. Keep up the great work.
damn why the dog outlifting me... also the beginning was funny heehee
Nice video! Great job!
Gluck really knows he’s talking about.
Oh man this is one of my oldest videos!
Your gym is beautiful, love the channel
I bought rouge dumbbells 5-50s and got all the dumbbells by them selves on a crate and none of the boxes were messed up
the intro :))
Fuck yeah bro , keep them videos coming ! Just snagged a 5-50 rep set
Good video! You need to upload more unboxing videos so that we can use the weights.
Good review. Thanks man !
Thanks for watching!
I'm 57 years old and between the handles on the Rogue which I have at home, and the handles on the REP which I have at the gym, I prefer the rep straight handle. The shape on the rogue just really hurts my hands because of that curve.
Really like this. Currently only have adjustables up to 50. But like you said i dont trust it anything above that. So I plan on buying by usually jumps of 70-120 with the REP now.
It's been awhile since we've done this one but I'd go Rep if given the chance again
Do the straight handle of the dumbbells provide any benefit over the regular ones in any exercise like pushing or pulling?? Are they worth the extra cash???
I'd go with Cap, no point paying more for the same product from the same factories just to have a logo on them. The questionable extra quality stuff seems odd given these things don't go wrong unless abused and I doubt it makes a difference in the lifetime of the product.
I owned CAP 30 and it has passive knurling. Just don't drop them and they should last. Some Rubber dumbbells are fully rubber while others are iron with a rubber coat around.
The rouge and cap dumbbels are the same.
Classic GG Gym!
Thanks, great video
Ewww I hate Ergonomic handles. I just love the straight knurled handles.
Haha ikr, had to sell my rogue set for some american barbell urethane dumbbells because of the erg handles
is it normal that a set of hex dumbels wheight differently? I have two 20 kg, one of the weights 20.2 kg and one weights 19,8 kg? Any ide why?
Who makes your dumbbell rack?
Don't toss your weights, those are meant for commercial use. They will never break, buy when on sale
What’s your heaviest dumbbell? I bought a second hand set range from 5 to 80lbs. I’m only 130lbs so I don’t really need to go much higher but man I would like to have 85 to 100lbs. That would literally cost a lottt of money
Mine currently go to 100, I have plans to go to 120 but I might still be missing 55-70... You're right they cost a fortune so I'll probably hold out on the big ones until people start off loading stuff.
Where did you get the dumbbell rack from? I may order the Rep dumbbells 5-100, but I noticed that two of the Rep dumbbell racks can't hold all of them, which is annoying
I got them from a gym that was closing, they're hammer strength. I looked at Rogue's rack before that but it's very expensive so I was just about to order the Rep Fitness Victory 2 Tier rack when these popped up. That's your best bet, they were in stock for a bit but aren't atm. I left mine on the floor for about 4 months before I got these.
The REP handles look bigger in diameter. I'm wondering if this would work better for larger hands? Or, conversely, not as good for smaller hands in comparison to the rogue?
Is there any reason, other than they look cool, to go with urethane for a home gym?
I like my teeth as well I will just have to be careful.
Can you please tell me where you got that awesome Arnold shirt?
Holy crap, you sound like a younger Mulder from X-Files.
I bet if you tried you could do an awesome impression.
Oh and thank you for the comparison, this helps me out a bunch!
Hmmm free intro ideas... Thanks!

Hahahaha nice!!!
Which one do you recommend brother! I Need a set of dumb bell and adjustable benches. Hoping i can do incline sit up on the bench and chest
What's your price range for all of it?
@@GlucksGym under 1000 if possible. Not sure about adjustable dumbbell though
For adjustable check out the ab 3000 or 5000 if you need decline and incline. The dumbbells you should get individual up to 50 probably but after that you'd blow up your budget.
You can look at my gym for under 1k and gym essentials video for ideas as well.

Your gym is awesome. Where did you get the dumbbell rack? Is looks nice. So do those Bumpers! I just purchased 90lbs Titan round urethane Dumbbells, Not sure if I made a great choice? They look just like Rogue and Rep, but way cheaper. $545 shipped vs $806 Rogue.
Urethane dumbbells in general are are higher quality and pretty damn expensive. I wish I could afford some but I'm not sure I could justify for a home gym. I haven't seen Titans in person but I've found their quality (and I own a lot of their stuff) in general can be a bit all over the place but also pretty decent and some of their more expensive suits surprises me in how good it is.
They very well could be the same company producing them tbh.
Oh and the rack is a Hammer Strength commercial rack I got from a gym closing down. It was 1/4 retail price so I couldn't pass it up. Otherwise I'd like at the rep victory 2 tier.
The link for the REP set no longer works.
Ugh I thought I fixed all those links with their new site... Thanks for the heads up
@@GlucksGym You're welcome. I'm looking at the REPs. What do you think of the rubber grip vs. the chrome handle?
I haven't tried them nor have I tried something like that. I know they're well reviewed but would be lying if I said I knew
Have you ever heard of epic fitness dumbells
No but by the looks of it it's a new company that started up because of the recent demand for home gym stuff. Their dumbbells look like generic dumbbells like you'd get from cap and a ton of other places. I'd compare their prices based on that level of equipment and decide from there.
@@GlucksGym hey thanks so much for your time and the information!! That really helps !! I’m also looking at rouge verses rep if you had any thoughts ? I’m a female with a small grip!! I’m looking to invest in a quality pair and willing to pay for that ! And some that are polyurethane most likely !! I really do appreciate your time !! Any info would be great !! Thanks
@@GlucksGym I have to watch your video again but just thought I’d ask !! Thanks
@@jillhetrick2919 I personally think urethane dumbbells are a bit much for a home gym but they are incredible quality. My gf uses my rep and rogue dbs and has never complained about the grip size (she's 5'6 if that helps). If I had free choice I'd probably get reps just for the warranty but I haven't had issues with either and I have a set of 5 people using them 3-4x a week each.
@@GlucksGym I’m looking to get quality even if a bit more of an investment!! I’m about 5.3 in height also so that helps about your girlfriend!! She doesn’t notice a change in grip from rep to rouge ? I’m also confused in the grips different companies offer ? I really do appreciate your feedback bc I’ve wrote to companies and looked at reviews but wanted to hear from someone who used them ! Thank you so much and any additional feedback would be super !!
Anything other than a uniform handle on a dumbell is annoying as fuck in my opinion. There’s just fucking irritating especially when your hands are sweaty and everyone has different hands so its pointless
Powerblock or Irontech for adjustables - the rest are trash.
There's some good options out there I just find long term I always ended up wishing I had ones like this.
