This is the 1st full video review of the Trulaps on TH-cam. Very in depth review by U as always I took from your review the following: Pros- 1. They look Outstanding 2. Solid steel plates 3. Very competitively priced. 4. Nice shape and feel Cons- 1. They do make a little noise 2. Plastic trays 3. Weird Weight increments The only con I see that might be a game changer is the weird weight increments. Very Nice Review U did, and if I was in the market for adjustable dumbbells I would have to seriously consider these and they probably would be my pick. The Pepins are Great but that cage on the side of the version that I would be interested in is a big game changer. The cage is the same reason why I would never consider buying Powerblocks. I just need my dumbbells to look and feel like a real dumbbell. Thnkx, Great Job!!!!!
I’m not sold on the longevity of these. Especially those flimsy looking trays. Hopefully future versions will come up with something that will last a lifetime. For now I will stick to my power blocks. Great review, thanks
@@jwjoness that was just 5 months ago when I said they were on Gen 2. I haven’t been keeping up with them so that is interesting, but I guess they are getting better and better. Trulap asked me to review V2, but I politely declined and told them if they can make these drop-proof, I’ll review them again.
I have had my powerblocks for over 20 yrs. Love them. Now that I am apparently done fighting cancer (where I did mostly aerobic type exercises; was on minor hormone deprivation therapy also) , I am looking forward to lifting once again. Also looking forward to MORE EFFICIENT & more effective adjustable dumbbells
Those look absolutely awesome! I've been using my Bowflex adjustables for about 15-20 yrs now and love them, plus they only take up about 2' x 2' floor space, for small home gyms adjustables are a no brainer, I say buy them!
@@betterhomesnc2437 Did you drop them? I've been very careful with mine because they don't look like they could take much abuse. I did have a situation where I thought the seatbelt was to secure the dumbbells to the base so I left it unsnapped, I was wrong, turned there it's there to keep the base attached to the stand, picked up the full weight and the base came with it just long enough to clear the base and land on my foot
There he is! Great review, HGHR! Out of all the adjustable dumbbells of this style, these are the most intriguing (aside from the Pepin fast series). I'm in the market for a 2nd pair of heavier DBs, and I have it narrowed down to the IMs and Pepin HDs. Seeing the IMs next to these Trulaps made me realize how compact the IMs are.
Thanks so much, Carter! I don’t think you could go wrong with either, but my loyalty is to the IMs for heavy plate loaded adjustable dumbbells…putting them on the scale and seeing their accuracy made me appreciate them even more.
I had a nuobell, sold it. I have an ironmaster and I have the ones in this video but I bought them in another country and under a different name. These dumbbells are great, I've had them for a few months now
He reached out to me and offered to send it to me. An extremely nice guy and I hope it does well. I turned him down for 2 reasons. 1) he said he was sending it to a few other reviewers. I really don’t like when companies send out their product to a bunch of review channels (Trulap did that). I think it just makes the reviews less interesting to watch. 2) it’s not a product I would use in my own training. I have been pretty adamant about only reviewing equipment I would use, which is why I’ve turned down Tech Products and Flywheels just to name a few. However, I really appreciate your comment Reynaldo.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews That is awesome to hear you stick to your guns. Makes sense too. I picked one up because I wanted to use the sledding feature at home. I bought one from Freak Athlete but it been raining so much in Los Angeles, I haven’t used it much
Thank you! Valid critiques - when I’ve got music going and in the zone, I honestly don’t notice any rattling and as long as I don’t feel any shifting in the plates, I’m good.
I'm pretty sure the weight increments are 1.5 kilograms. American delivered items have weird pounds weight equivalent labels because USA is old fashioned about lbs.
I definitely agree with that. For exercises like flat and incline press, there is virtually no noise; a little more noise for exercises like bicep curls.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews I emailed the company about dropping these a couple weeks ago. They said you could drop them from knee height onto a padded floor and they should be ok but don't really recommend dropping at all. They didn't mention anything about the warranty.
Thanks for the review. I'm trying to make my mind up on which adjustable dumbbells in going to get. So far the trulap look like the ones but might change my mind lol. Again thanks for the review
Thanks so much. If you’re not going to drop them, they are a good choice. If you need to drop the dumbbells, like at the end of a heavy chest press set, the Ironmasters would be my pick.
A new HGHR review is a good day! You nailed this one, man! They look like a great option, and you are right about them being beautiful. Great one as always!
Nice Review on the adjustable dumbbells. I’m glad to hear that you got blood pressure back to normal by losing weight as this will benefit your health long term. As for the adjustable dumbbells I own a pair of the Powerblock Urethane 90 that I owned for 11 years. For some reason I prefer the hex dumbbells over the adjustable type but space and finance is a reason why I own the adjustable set. Keep up the good work and look forward to your next review.
Thanks so much! 11 years is a good testament to PB durability. I agree, my first choice will always be fixed, but the space saving and money saving aspect is tremendous.
Good review. I've seen so many reviews on these types of dumbbells. I'll probably eventually get some "brand" and sell my fixed sets. But not for some time down the road. Thanks for the new video. Have a good day.
thank you for your great review! since the video is 10 months ago, may i know how the durability of the dumbbells? has it gone rusty? and does the chrome finish still hold it's color or teared up?
Why do you have to drop dumbbells? I go to failure all the time on DB benches and inclines and either sit up with them back on my quads or if training with someone get some assistance. Great review by the way !!!
Thank you. Mainly for dumbbell flat press. I usually take my sets to failure and I just find it a lot easier on my shoulders to drop them rather than kick myself back to a seated or standing position.
Hey HGHR! Great vid again again :) cant find links to purchase these anywere? Live in Denmark, so its prolly hard to get tranferred to eu i Bet? Do you know? Best regards ❤
Thanks so much! I am not an affiliate for the company so I don’t have a link, but you may be able to order them directly from Trulap’s website. The company is out of Canada.
I've been searching and considering the quick adjustable dumbbells. However, they all have issues such as durability, incremental increases in smaller weights, etc. So far, I'm still leaning towards Iron Masters for durability and safety.
I don’t think you can go wrong with the Ironmasters. I have a review for those. Recently, I loaded them up with 110 pounds and dropped them on the floor without issue.
What is the half plate that is first and nylon for and at what increments do the dumbbells pick it up with the other metal plates . How does the plate attach and release to the dumbbell
My dad is presently borrowing the Trulaps. He uses them daily for everything from curls, to presses, to pullovers and he loves them. It will be a while before I get them back.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews Awesome. Thanks for the reply. From your comments, I am guessing you recommend them. I am mixed between Trulap, Nuobells and may be Snode..
@@imranchaudhry9699 I recently did a review for the Snodes and I have an older review for the Ironmasters. I think the Trulaps are the best looking dumbbell with more settings than most. The Snodes biggest selling point is they are drop-proof.
Sorry, I don’t have the Nuobells. I also show what the Rogue Change Plates look like on the Snodes in my review for those and I have an old video where I review the change plates. Those videos might provide enough information for you to figure out if they’ll work.
I’ll definitely check out those videos thanks man. You have really great review videos. You go into so much more detail than other folks out there. I appreciate that.
lol! In this video, I mention Trulap sent these to quite a few other people, so it will be interesting to see how all these initial thoughts and reviews line up.
Has anyone seen Clench Fitness's (CF) version of these? They're exactly the same except for branding, a one (instead of three) year warranty, and Clench's consistent 3.3 lb increments instead of Trulap's varying ones. Trulap offers 52 lb and 92 lb versions while CF offers 72 lb and 92 lb versions. I'm interested in CF's Goldilocks 72 lb set. I asked Trulap if they made the DB's for CF or vice versa, or if they both source them from the same manufacturer, but they said they're not familiar with CF.
After using these and the snodes what would you rather have long term? I just can't see myself using the silly magnets on the snodes that would drive me crazy.
There are features I like with both. The Trulaps look the best and have the most adjustments (for this style ADB), but for flat press, I need to have the option to drop the DBs on the floor at the end of a heavy set taken close to failure and I can’t do that with the Trulaps.
@@nathanweston4120 my dad is borrowing them and they are holding up well. Trulap is on V3 or V4 at this point, so improvements have been made since I reviewed this model.
It feels durable to me. These have been out for a few months now and I haven’t heard of anyone having issues. Also, I don’t think they are likely to rust under normal circumstance and when cared for. It will take months and even years to determine the long-term durability of this relatively new product. The 3 year warranty gives me some peace of mind.
It’s still a work in progress but here are a few things: -I’ve lost 30 pounds (I was carrying a decent amount of body fat a few months ago in my attempt to get to 200 pounds). -Added in some cardio -Fewer meals: 3-4 instead of 5 -Fewer calories per meal -Reduced total carbohydrate content by approx. 1/2 -My last meal is much earlier in the evening, which means I usually go about 12 hours before eating breakfast.
These are the best for me because they go up to 40kg that is more than enough. The problem is that they want 200 dollars for shipping in EU plus the customs fee. They should have a retailer in Europe as well. You americans have so many options
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews to be honest the ironmaster aren't really the quick adjustable like nuobell or Bowflex, they are just normal adjustable which I have dumbbells like these . I bought the Bowflex 1090 which are heavy enough to complement my barbell compounds
Okay so here's my thing with any adjustable dumbell set. Its an awesome idea on paper. But who really needs this? The whole idea is that it is both space saving and quick to adjust. Okay cool. But if you are really that limited on space to actually bemefit from something like this, that means you may not have a dedicated place to keep these and have ready to use. You'll probably still need to store them away somewhere when youre done which means lugging over 100lbs of equipment everytime you finish a workout. For those people who do actually have the space to leave this in a permanent location and get the most benefit out of, you probably have some sort of dedicated room or garage or space that you can use. And at that point why not just build up a fixed dumbell set? A dumbell rack with a good variety of wrights doesnt have a much bigger footprint than these.
I think it's more so that you can put them next to the wall and still save so much more space then a full set of traditional dumbbells. Someone isn't going to put these dumbbells in the closet and lug them out every time. Your argument saying that you might as well just get a full set anyway is void because even if you put these in the same space your using a tenth of the space to store this adjustable dumbbell then a full set.
@user-dn7vy6qg1m first, what i mean by "dedicated space" is an extra spare room or garage set up for a home gym. If you have that, then you probably arent hurting for space so badly that saving a couple square feet of space is going to make or break your home gym. And also my point still stands that the footprint these take up isnt much less than a vertical dumbell rack. If you are just starting out, then you probably dont need 50lb dumbells anyway. So spend less than a couple hundred on sets of 10-25lb dumbells and a rack and you'll probably be good for a while. Then upgrade as needed as you progress. Sure there is still a niche of people that these would be perfect for. I get that. But my point is that MOST people dont need these and really arent worth the $300-700 that these things cost. I really just dont see any really good argument for these things unless you have that kinda money and really just have to have every cool workout gadget out there.
@@antman674 but what I am saying is that even with putting it in your dedicated workout space still saves quit a lot more space for more equipment rather than having most of a wall dedicated to dumbbells Even if you get a vertical stand it still takes up much more space then the adjustables.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews okay I am very close to purchasing these lol. I am not the type to just drop weights so it shouldn’t be an issue. I did hear they are working on new models that go up in 2.5 and 5 lb increments - I an trying to find out if they will be heavier than 92lbs… do you know?! Lol
That is good. But not heavy enough for presses. I have the Nuobells which I know are inferior to these. But like you I also have the ironmasters that go to 135lb with the heavy handle kit. With that combo I am fully covered. Great review. Thanks to you i literally saved thousands. I have limited space. My gym is 1/3 of my garage. It's 24x8 feet. I have a powertec WBLS 20 black. A ironmaster super bench pro V2 with leg attachment. A chin dip assist machine that sits on the other side of my garage. A Titan compact leg sled, and 600 lb of Vulcan rubber covered Olympic plates. And a landmine with attachment. Not what you have but good enough to do 90 percent of what I could do at the gym. You are doing a service to the whole garage gym community. Thank you brother. Looking forward to more content. 👍
@@cameconomou7037 I sold all of my Fat Gripz so unfortunately I can’t double check for you. Hopefully, someone else will reply with a definitive answer for you.
.:SCAM ALERT:. I bought mine 9 weeks ago, and I still haven't received them, I received a shipping number, but Canpar hasn't received anything. Its been like this for 4 days. They aren't even responding at this point and now it looks like I have to dispute the charge on my CC.
I am sorry to hear this and I’m also surprised to hear this. I haven’t heard of anyone having trouble with Trulap. Try to message them through one of their social media platforms.
Rattles while Ironmaster is completely quiet. Definitely not as durable. And no, I'm no affiliate to Ironmaster and can talk shit about them too. They take forever to change weights and the width of the handle is really wide. I can talk shit about all adjustable dumbbells :)
I don’t think it’s too noticeable. If I intentionally try to rattle them, I can. In this video, I tried to show what they sound like under normal lifting conditions.
@@brucea9871 it was a joke I made in one of my earlier videos about how I deal with all the boxes I have from doing equipment reviews. I definitely don’t throw trash in my tree line. I removed this scene from my video intro in all of my recent videos because anyone who didn’t see said video doesn’t realize it was a joke (a poor joke at that).
As much as they are practical and save you space the fact that they’re so delicate, if u drop them they will break, keeps me from buying adjustble dumbbells.
This is the 1st full video review of the Trulaps on TH-cam.
Very in depth review by U as always
I took from your review the following:
Pros- 1. They look Outstanding 2. Solid steel plates 3. Very competitively priced.
4. Nice shape and feel
Cons- 1. They do make a little noise 2. Plastic trays 3. Weird Weight increments
The only con I see that might be a game changer is the weird weight increments.
Very Nice Review U did,
and if I was in the market for adjustable dumbbells I would have to seriously consider these and they probably would be my pick.
The Pepins are Great but that cage on the side of the version that I would be interested in is a big game changer.
The cage is the same reason why I would never consider buying Powerblocks.
I just need my dumbbells to look and feel like a real dumbbell.
Thnkx, Great Job!!!!!
I really appreciate your comment and you nailed it! Thanks so much, BH!
I love the 2.5-3.5lb jumps, useful to progressively load
Definitely agree. Especially helpful for exercises like lateral raises.
It suck a lot of bigger TH-camrs are complaining about this. I feel you on the smaller increments for progressive overloading
I’m not sold on the longevity of these. Especially those flimsy looking trays. Hopefully future versions will come up with something that will last a lifetime. For now I will stick to my power blocks. Great review, thanks
Thanks so much. Trulap is now on V2. Some improvements have been made and the trays are more robust.

There are features I like with both. The Trulaps look the best and have the most adjustments (for this style ADB), but for flat press, I need to have the option to drop the DBs on the floor at the end of a heavy set taken close to failure and I can’t do that with the Trulaps.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews whic maybe is a reason to go Iron masters. Thanks for the info!
@@Loppnowd I’ve dropped the Ironmasters loaded with 110 pounds multiple times without issue.
Hows the durability of these holding up a year later?
@@nathanweston4120 my dad is borrowing them and they are holding up well. Trulap is on V3 or V4 at this point, so improvements have been made since I reviewed this model.
How reliable is the weight selection mechanism and are they prone to rust?
It feels durable to me. These have been out for a few months now and I haven’t heard of anyone having issues. Also, I don’t think they are likely to rust under normal circumstance and when cared for. It will take months and even years to determine the long-term durability of this relatively new product. The 3 year warranty gives me some peace of mind.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews thanks for the feedback.
Hacks with the facts 👊
lol! You know it!
Could you please tell me what you did to get your blood sugar down
It’s still a work in progress but here are a few things:
-I’ve lost 30 pounds (I was carrying a decent amount of body fat a few months ago in my attempt to get to 200 pounds).
-Added in some cardio
-Fewer meals: 3-4 instead of 5
-Fewer calories per meal
-Reduced total carbohydrate content by approx. 1/2
-My last meal is much earlier in the evening, which means I usually go about 12 hours before eating breakfast.
These are the best for me because they go up to 40kg that is more than enough. The problem is that they want 200 dollars for shipping in EU plus the customs fee. They should have a retailer in Europe as well. You americans have so many options
I would go with the Ironmaster Adjustable Dumbbells if they are more cost effective for you in EU.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews to be honest the ironmaster aren't really the quick adjustable like nuobell or Bowflex, they are just normal adjustable which I have dumbbells like these . I bought the Bowflex 1090 which are heavy enough to complement my barbell compounds
They're sold in Europe, under different brand names. And yes, they're more expensive here.
LMX sells them with black coloured plates playes for 900 euros.
I bought the Lioninside version for 1300 euro(!)
Braingain sells them for 650 euro
Okay so here's my thing with any adjustable dumbell set. Its an awesome idea on paper. But who really needs this? The whole idea is that it is both space saving and quick to adjust. Okay cool. But if you are really that limited on space to actually bemefit from something like this, that means you may not have a dedicated place to keep these and have ready to use. You'll probably still need to store them away somewhere when youre done which means lugging over 100lbs of equipment everytime you finish a workout. For those people who do actually have the space to leave this in a permanent location and get the most benefit out of, you probably have some sort of dedicated room or garage or space that you can use. And at that point why not just build up a fixed dumbell set? A dumbell rack with a good variety of wrights doesnt have a much bigger footprint than these.
I think it's more so that you can put them next to the wall and still save so much more space then a full set of traditional dumbbells. Someone isn't going to put these dumbbells in the closet and lug them out every time. Your argument saying that you might as well just get a full set anyway is void because even if you put these in the same space your using a tenth of the space to store this adjustable dumbbell then a full set.
@user-dn7vy6qg1m first, what i mean by "dedicated space" is an extra spare room or garage set up for a home gym. If you have that, then you probably arent hurting for space so badly that saving a couple square feet of space is going to make or break your home gym. And also my point still stands that the footprint these take up isnt much less than a vertical dumbell rack. If you are just starting out, then you probably dont need 50lb dumbells anyway. So spend less than a couple hundred on sets of 10-25lb dumbells and a rack and you'll probably be good for a while. Then upgrade as needed as you progress. Sure there is still a niche of people that these would be perfect for. I get that. But my point is that MOST people dont need these and really arent worth the $300-700 that these things cost. I really just dont see any really good argument for these things unless you have that kinda money and really just have to have every cool workout gadget out there.
@@antman674 but what I am saying is that even with putting it in your dedicated workout space still saves quit a lot more space for more equipment rather than having most of a wall dedicated to dumbbells Even if you get a vertical stand it still takes up much more space then the adjustables.
Does the handle move at all when handling them
It does not.
Are these the gen 2? If not can you review the gen 2s?
These are Gen 1. The only way I would review V2 is if Trulap sent me a set. I have my fixed set and fixed will always be my first choice.
@HomeGymHacksandReviews thank you for confirming brother! Trulap needs to send you a set asap.
@@sergiosimental927 appreciate it!
Do you think are that much less durable the Snode - or about the same, even Snodes are “drop proof”..
I will be able to tell you with more certainty soon. Stay tuned.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews okay I am very close to purchasing these lol. I am not the type to just drop weights so it shouldn’t be an issue. I did hear they are working on new models that go up in 2.5 and 5 lb increments - I an trying to find out if they will be heavier than 92lbs… do you know?! Lol
@@darenking1508 I haven’t heard anything definitively.
Dope!
Thanks so much, LGG!
Why the hell are the cradles always made of plastics...
When the V2s are released, I believe the cradles will be more robust.
Snode AD80 are current $795 and seem a better option than truslap.
I just reviewed the Snode AD80s earlier this week. They both have features I like.
Is this the generation 2?
No, Gen 1.
Top weight is 92lb?
Correct. For the handle-dial-style adjustable dumbbell, they are the heaviest.
That is good. But not heavy enough for presses. I have the Nuobells which I know are inferior to these. But like you I also have the ironmasters that go to 135lb with the heavy handle kit.
With that combo I am fully covered.
Great review. Thanks to you i literally saved thousands. I have limited space. My gym is 1/3 of my garage. It's 24x8 feet. I have a powertec WBLS 20 black. A ironmaster super bench pro V2 with leg attachment.
A chin dip assist machine that sits on the other side of my garage.
A Titan compact leg sled, and 600 lb of Vulcan rubber covered Olympic plates. And a landmine with attachment.
Not what you have but good enough to do 90 percent of what I could do at the gym.
You are doing a service to the whole garage gym community. Thank you brother. Looking forward to more content. 👍
@@chelious1973 very kind of you to say and you have a great home gym that covers all your bases. Thank you so much!
Do these support PlateMates?
I have not tried, but they should.
Do Fat Gripz work on these?
@@cameconomou7037 I sold all of my Fat Gripz so unfortunately I can’t double check for you. Hopefully, someone else will reply with a definitive answer for you.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews Appreciate it
.:SCAM ALERT:.
I bought mine 9 weeks ago, and I still haven't received them, I received a shipping number, but Canpar hasn't received anything. Its been like this for 4 days. They aren't even responding at this point and now it looks like I have to dispute the charge on my CC.
I am sorry to hear this and I’m also surprised to hear this. I haven’t heard of anyone having trouble with Trulap. Try to message them through one of their social media platforms.
Rattles while Ironmaster is completely quiet. Definitely not as durable.
And no, I'm no affiliate to Ironmaster and can talk shit about them too. They take forever to change weights and the width of the handle is really wide.
I can talk shit about all adjustable dumbbells :)
All fair critiques.
I’ve heard they rattle like a Christmas bell
I don’t think it’s too noticeable. If I intentionally try to rattle them, I can. In this video, I tried to show what they sound like under normal lifting conditions.
The official stands sucks the crates don't fit on the stand they are too big.
@@saschaBman sorry to hear. I never had the stand.
нет ничего лучше гантельного ряда
Why were you throwing boxes into the trees at the beginning of the video? I hope that is not how you typically dispose of your garbage.
@@brucea9871 it was a joke I made in one of my earlier videos about how I deal with all the boxes I have from doing equipment reviews. I definitely don’t throw trash in my tree line.
I removed this scene from my video intro in all of my recent videos because anyone who didn’t see said video doesn’t realize it was a joke (a poor joke at that).
$800 without rack and $850 with rack…😱
As much as they are practical and save you space the fact that they’re so delicate, if u drop them they will break, keeps me from buying adjustble dumbbells.
I definitely understand that reasoning. There are some that are drop-proof.
Why is he throwing cardboard in the woods!
It was a joke from one of my earlier videos. I promise, I don’t have a pile of empty cardboard boxes in my woods.
I didnt watch the video so I dont know if he said the price but yeah theyre $800 :| no thanks
One way to look at it is: $800 / 52 = $15 a dumbbell which isn’t too bad.
A dumbell that can't be dropped...hard pass.
On a different note, you've got some great equipment.
Yeah, that is one of the trade offs between this style adjustable dumbbell and something like the Ironmasters. Thanks so much!
these are pretty sleek...i got the pepin adjustable 20-120s (with the 2.5lb microclip plates) but the price on these is def more wallet friendly :D
The Pepin Fast Series look fantastic…expensive…but fantastic.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews haha you can get a deal with the exchange rate …im in canada so yaaa 🥲
