What weight do you need your DBs to go up to? Rep Fitness QuickDraw Dumbbells: www.repfitness.com/#5f3b28f9517b0 NoFate Affiliates Page: nofate247.com/affiliates/
Thanks for the review. I had the Snode 80lb dumbbells. Sold them. It was the wrong feeling for me -- too long, not a real true iron dumbbell, and having to put them back in the cradle just right -- was the wrong experience for me. Found that I needed real dumbbells. So, real for me, has always been the Pro-style (i.e. pancake plates) dumbbells. I now have 10 - 85lb fixed dumbbells (w/ 5lb jumps), with the welded end caps, and with the plates loose enough to be able to spin/rotate -- that's always been the experience I've enjoyed when training with dumbbells. I've always enjoyed the pancake-style dumbbells - they are just the real deal when working out with them, for me.
Great review of these! Spot on! I too have the QuickDraws. And I agree, they definitely need a stand. Someone from rep wrote me a few days ago and said a stand is in the works. That would be awesome!
Absolutely built to last and I wouldn't be surprised if lots of people buy the 40 lb version and use those. We often over estimate the weight most average users lift. We're not all as strong as you!!!! Have you tried the power blocks with the full knurling?
@@NoFate247 So true man. I bet less than 10% can pick up the 100s and do a rep you know? 80s or less will be good for SOO many! Bro, I am in love with them. God dude, they are sweet
@@NoFate247 Totally agree. I'm almost 70 and doubt I would ever need more than 30lb for some time (just starting late in life). And I do need more l can add them. I know I'll never get to the full 60! Have a great one!
I just bought these and am selling my Powerblocks Pro EXP with knurled handles (Which I LOVEEEEE).. truly love my powerblocks, but I want my homegym to have two pairs of adjustable dumbbells, one that will be used mostly for ligther weights and one for heavy.. So, I just ordered the quickdraws to be my lightweight version and in the future I'll be getting the reppins for the heavy set. Hopefully the wiggle won't be an issue.
@@NoFate247 What is the gift? I'm honestly not going to use any t-shirt, stickers etc. etc. So it might not even be worth the shipping to EU :p But I did sub and am watching the reppin review now.
@@NoFate247 80 would be more than enuogh for me, more if I want to go farmer's walk. I also would consider Badass or (metal) Kensui handles for use with standard plates. Low tech, less moving parts =more durable.
main downside is that is very wide compared to other adjustable dumbbells while also having less weight, another problem is the cradle is huge, even if you only buy the 30lbs, the cradle is the same size and looks super weird unless is 60lbs. The pro is the longevity and lifetime. Only ironmaster and Pepin have lifetime warranty. Pepin are the best there is, but at $2000 + $300 shipping, is crazy expensive. Ironmasters on sale are only like $600 but is only 75lbs, you would need to buy their 120lbs addon kit.
Love my urethane fixed dumbbell set and the IMs are great, would be nice if they were a tad quicker but they get me by. These look good minus the length at 60lbs is very long. Can’t win them all but Rep did decent with these. Great review as always man!!
Hell yeah man, these look so much better than my build a dumbbell corner with the olympic dumbbell handles and my stack of 10 and 5 lb plates lol. I'm interested to see what Rep does to get the adjustable dumbbells for higher weight amounts
Looking forward to seeing what REP's heavy vesion of these look at feel like, may have to go to their PA showroom once they are out. Until then, I am happy with my 90lb Powerblocks, but hitting their limit in pressing.
@@NoFate247 @NoFate247 I swear this isn't a humble brag or anything, but I think by the time I have hit my strength repping 150s is a realistic endpoint.
i have no interest in dumb bells and yet i just watched the whole video. Rep has really been killing it lately and (unlike big R) keeping the price pretty reasonable.
My buddy just got a set of those recently. I am honestly not a fan of them. Theyre cool, but feel weird in my hand. I will stick to my powerblocks with the knurled handles 😅
My biggest complaint is the black numbers on the black background. I ended up painting the numbers white. As mentioned the handle does feel great, and really enjoy using these. Nice review BTW…
Thanks for the compliment on the video. I tried to use these for a good long while before I made the video, but I think I'm a bit late to the party with it. It would have been nice if their lettering was white, much easier to read
good review. same issues with my upgraded handles 90lb powerblocks. I'll likely decide on switching them out depending on what the next version looks like. despite the length/width...Is the balance better on REP's versus powerblocks when doing curls? I've noticed sometimes there's a breaking point with the powerblocks at the top of the squeeze where the balance of the weight throws me off slightly sometimes. Hoping REP makes white lettering and a stand like you mentioned someday
the balance on these felt more like a standard dumbbell than the power blocks, but it wasn't a massive difference. Just something I noticed over quite a number of sets.
Yeah I baby my Nuobells most of the time but it’s really not like a big bother or inconvenience enough to upgrade them. And sometimes I wish they were heavier but I also haven’t maxed them out so 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah I always assume I'm going to be stronger than I am....most of the time my weight is pretty reasonable and mundane. Now what did you grab those nuobells for? How much you end up paying if you don't mind me asking
Crazy how big they are. I dont love my nuobells, but theyve served me well so far. Curious about the heavy dumbell release next week from rep. If i dont like those, ill prob get pepins
I have the Nordic track adjustable dumbbells. They go to 55lbs and pretty quick to change. I was torn between the ones I bought and the rep at the time of purchase. I think rep was out of stock when I got these. They do have a decent knurled handle . I think companies like Rep should make the adjustable ones in sets like 5-50 and 50-100 that way they could be taller/thicker plates rather than making the bar so long . Jim
I think they were right around $300 on amazon with free shipping. I jokingly say it’s cheaper to be weaker when it comes to price of gym equipment lol Things get expensive once you start getting heavy
stuck between these and powerblock elite exp to 70lbs... need some help. I want to love these but the length of them really turns me off, especially when seeing them side by side with the powerblocks. but I think I much prefer the weight changing mechanism on these
Yeah, I know people want the "BEST" but honestly it all depends on use case, strength levels, and budget. These will be great for many but horrible for some. WHat dbs are you using now?
@@NoFate247 used to have 90 pounds Powerblocks - they were great...but the wife didn't like them as it was annoying to do the 5 pound increments. I found a local guy selling knock off Nuobells that go to 80 pounds and I use those now - it is enough for me currently. Honestly though, if the price is similar I prefer the powerblocks to Nuobells - Nuobells seem too fragile and destined to break.
@@NoFate247 currently just a couple lighter rubber hex for lateral raises and for the wife. Mostly everything is barbell and plates. I was looking at the Pepin fast series but the price tag was jusssst a little too much so curious to see what Rep prices their heavy ones as.

Yeah, there is no substitute for individuals dumbbells but we all have our preferences. Thanks for watching, much appreciated.
That is long AF for 60lbs. For that length it should be 120lbs. Maybe they can make the plate diameter a bit wider so the length will be shorter?
Yeah or make the plates more dense so they can all be thinner?
Wow, I didn't realize how long these were. Good design and durable but these are massive at 60 lb. Great review bro.
Yeah numbers are a lot harder to visualize but comparisons tell the story pretty quickly. What weight do you need when it comes to DBS?
@@NoFate247 I have PB EXPs for fast change up to 90, and IMs for heavier up to 135.
I like the quick draw style, but the size is a limiting factor for me.
Yeah they aren't small plus 60s might be light for you, what do you normally hit for dbs
Just letting y'all know there's a better D/B coming out soon from a different company. Don't ask me how I know.
I'm always the last to know anything
No adjustable dumbbell is perfect, but these are pretty dang good. Great review bro!
thanks for being here and appreciate it. Be honest, was the ladder drop anticlimatic?
@@NoFate247 I’m kinda over the whole drop from ridiculous heights thing, so I am biased and will therefore recuse myself from answering.
Great review of these! Spot on!
I too have the QuickDraws. And I agree, they definitely need a stand. Someone from rep wrote me a few days ago and said a stand is in the works. That would be awesome!
Excited for the stand!!!!
I can see people not liking the length but you know these are built to last!!

Yeah these are fast and easy and definitely great if you only need up to 60. What weight you go up to usually
The most I ever do is 70 lbs on a dumbbell bench press. The problem is that olympic handles are terrible logistically to get into position.
@@6AnAsianGuy9yeah I don't know how some people do it

Thanks for watching 🙏. Hopefully I made it entertaining enough. Rep keeps dropping more stuff than the rest is the field combined.....hard to deny
I first saw these two weeks after purchasing a pair of nodic track adjustable dumbbells 😢
how heavy do the nordics go?
@NoFate247 55lbs
I do like them, but after seeing the REP, dumbbells dropped off a roof and a lifetime guarantee. Well, you see where I'm coming from.
My buddy just got a set of those recently. I am honestly not a fan of them. Theyre cool, but feel weird in my hand. I will stick to my powerblocks with the knurled handles 😅

I imagine rep will release a heavier set that drove be the same design due to length considerations. You mind if I ask what you paid for the nirduc
I think they were right around $300 on amazon with free shipping.

Thank you
How long you had your IM's? Heard nothing but great stuff
love the durability but it's too bulky for max weight of 60lbs. The urethane dumbbells alway wins
If you can afford it nad have the space, hard to say no to urethane dumbbells.
60 lbs though😢
Any more and it wouldn't be usable
How are you going to cheat on your PowerBlocks like this? 😢
We have an open relationship
