Haha now that I know the intros are made on Wednesday night it makes it that much funnier to me 😂 keep up the good work loving how the channel is evolving!
How dare you! I ordered the fringe sport dumbbell handles days ago at your recommendation! Had I know I would have gotten these... JK these are out of my price range and I managed to find the fringe sports used for the same price as titan's new so I am happy.
These are definitely the best loadable dumbbells for a home gym imo. They’re just the right size/length; they save space; and you don’t have to worry about the collar failing. 👍
I could see a few people arguing needing more length (and obviously price) but as a generalization they really are an incredible option when you're looking for the "best" handles.
@@GlucksGym LOL! IT just happens, man. Gym equipment is just made that way. I did an unboxing and build video for a Rep FB5000 clone from Modell's, and I kept finding myself saying stuff like, "It's 4 inches and firm" or " now let's get under here, find the hole, and screw..." When I rewatched the video, I was like please don't let my kids watch this. 😅
My IronMaster adjustable dumbbells were not much more when I bought them, but of course that was 3 years ago. Even today, I would get the IronMasters over these.
The 45lb set today is the same price as these. Just depends what you're looking for. Ironmasters are great as an adjustable DB for people looking for that type of ecosystem and need. As handles these are probably the nicest option out there, two different products though really.
Nice review. Talk about benefits/cons, shows a close-up pic of the knurling, and even gave us a view in the sleeve. That said, I am not a fan of plate loadable dumbbells.......but I do love my Ironmasters!
Loved the subtle 🍎 shade Droid for life... looking forward to your thoughts on their barbell video one day, I see that being more appealing to more people. Nice review as always!
The bar is gorgeous as well but I'm still forming my opinion on it. The collars hold just as well but I'm so picky when it comes to plates having any play. It hasn't actually gotten in my way but I think my deep dish are too loud to move around 😂
@@GlucksGym Midas Revenge Bar: 1 cat tongue Rogue Ohio Bar: 0 cat tongues Rogue Ohio Power Bar: 2 cat tongues Rogue Deadlift Bar: 3 cat tongues Amazon Bar: 0 or negative cat tongues Bells of Steel Bare Naked Power Bar: 2 cat tongues And these, a 0.5 cat tongue rating
That might actually be all of them but technically Bells was a 2 but the cat was sad and yaheetech legendary bar was a negative rating. You passed though, F+
I DID make it that far, and now I'm going to rewatch your other loadable dumbbell video for probably the hundredth time. When am I going to pull the trigger!?
I was part of the first wave of buyers. Bunch of delays later (like 7 months worth), I finally got them, and they are worth the wait. Chose these for the reasons you cited: space savings, using existing plates, workmanship. I already had the infrastructure (read: plate horn space) for extra 10's, but no space for a full DB set. I rarely do drop sets, and if I do, I set my plates out ahead of time so swaps are faster. You do have to be mindful of plate tolerances though - I have some 5kg plates with slightly oversized holes. Got a bunch of lateral slop when loaded. Despite that, I've successfully done a bunch of movements with these, including snatches, and have had zero issues, although when hitting my very first snatch, I was a little nervous ...just like high school. Ok, college. Ok, fine, 36 years old. DON'T YOU JUDGE ME.
Nice review. Not a fan of loadable Dumbbells though. Great for space / budget concerns, but clunky. Still watched the review though. Usually get a few laughs from you. Thinking about the Fatbells (Rogue) or CM bells (Sorinex) for my Home gym. I say thinking because I'm a cheap bastard. Just can't come off the money! Hell, I'm still unable to come off the money for Rogue's Olympic plates (the beautiful skinny ones!) Maybe one day. Oh well, back to thinking.
Meant to review those Oly plates long ago but here we are 😢 I'd go Rogue as those were originally thought up by Donnie Thompson but that's just me. Thanks for the support, I really appreciate it!
I actually have all 3 wish I had the space for a full set of standard DBs to 150... Have urethane hex 2.5 to 55... Powerblocks to 125 for ease of changing the weights and space savings... And recently ordered loadable DB handles to go over 125... Unfortunately the 175 power block set is huge, and the weight adjustments go in 7.5 and 15 pound incriminates.. didn't like iron master not a fan of how long they take to adjust and the cost to get to really heavy weights
I have the Gungnir barbell and the workmanship is stunning, worth every penny, and it's a lot of pennies. Having said that, I wouldn't get these, as loading four plates each time you want to change weights is annoying. Something twist-and-go like Nuobells are better. Also incredible engineering btw.
Thought I’d never say this, but those are WAY to expensive, for me. Also, I’m not a fan of loadable dumbbells 🙃. If I was and didn’t care about my back , because my lady would make me sleep in the garage, I’d get these for sure.
I'd argue that these are actually priced pretty competitively. Assuming you already have at least two pairs of 10's, you can get 8 pairs of rogue Olympic plates for $330, which gets you to $830 for 112lbs each. Nuobells are around $750 and only go up to 80lb, and you can't drop them. The powerblocks elite series (mid-tier model) is $800 which still only gives you 90lbs, doesn't give you a knurled handle, has an awkward enclosed handle. I will definitely be considering these.
I agree - although you are definitely paying for the "prettiness" with these guys. You can buy (sort of) the same product for like 10x cheaper (Got a set on Amazon for $60, Titans are like $100). Although clearly, much less pretty and lower quality. Even Rogues are what, $250-300 rn? Vs these guys which are like $600 now. Can't see a reason for buying Gugnir unless you have some cash to blow and really have a burning desire to have the prettiest loadable dumbells on the market
Yeah if that's your goal I can only get 112lbs on each side with 10s, 162 with 25s but you can lose ROM there. Depends on what you're looking for. Thanks though!
With the 10s on there is 112 per side and of I use 25s I can get 162 but with Fringe (22" long) i can get another 25 or more 10s on there. Tradeoff being they can get in each other's way.
Being a simple minded person myself I think I could buy a pair of Ironmaster dumbbells with the extra 45 pound kit, powerblocks, and nuobells and still come out cheaper than your fixed set. Plus be able to go up in 2.5 pound increments, plus take up the smallest footprint for really fast drop sets… just saying. :)
@@GlucksGym appreciate the quick reply! Yeah, I think they're the USA Olympic plate just with white lettering. I emailed Rogue asking how I can get my hands on some. videos are awesome man. great reviews. much love
@@GlucksGym Ahaha I knew it. I was so curious I actually called Rogue and asked.. "we've never done white lettering." Then I thought.. maybe Gluck painted them! That sneaky bastard... consider me inspired because your paint job looks pretty damn good!
I actually recall seeing these in older videos and just assumed they were Rogue product lol. Anyways, thanks again for your input. Looking forward to the next vid
I like my DB-15s because I have an extra inch to load on each side. I think if just using 10s and 5s you could load probably about 45 on each side on these. But on my DB-15s I can get about 55 or even 60 on each side. And I like to pretend that I’ll be strong enough to db press 135 on each side one day.
We all have dreams! The DB-15s are nice and that's the same thing with my Fringe handles. More length but I rarely if ever need it. Feel like there's an innuendo or two in there
Wynie can't math and your brain doesn't work when you're pushing? Don't be too hard on yourself. I' didn't realize changing one 45lb plate for another got you nowhere until you told me.
Hard pass for me. First, i don't care how cool they are, $500 is too much. And then I saw a review Alan Thrall did on them where various types and thickness of of plates couldn't be held tight and were wobbly. Though it was exceptional, some kinds even fell off.

The Collar design is Revolutionary
It's pretty cool and functions very well
Gluck's finally getting some companies to notice him!
Slowly but hopefully more to come!
I love the idea of incorporating collars into the sleeves. A bit too expensive for me but it is great to see the innovation. Great video Gluck!
I hear you. It's a pretty high end option and well executed but very expensive

How aggressive is the knurl on the Fringe Sports loadable dumbbells? I'm considering getting a pair of them.
@@DERDM is like a 0.5 on the cat tongue knurling system. So above an Ohio Bar but nothing aggressive. I like it for handles.

Protip: load larger diameter diameter plates on the outside and smaller diameter plates on the inside for clearance...
Yeah I've done that before except with those 45s 😂
Wynneigh plays a good Hobo
Some say it's Wynie'ost natural role yet
you should review the baadass dumbbell handles. I just pick some up and I'm super impressed with it. like to see your thoughts on it.
When compared to other loadable dumbbells that are similar in size, can you get more weight on these than others because the collar is smaller?
If you have more than 4 1/4" of plates per side, could you just put some aluminum lever collars on them? Would that just work?
You could, I tried it. It's a bit silly because of the built in collars but yes , 100 % works
Big problem is they can’t go heavy. I guess they would be nice for curl exercises and such. But for rows and presses not so much.
With the 10s on there is 112 per side and of I use 25s I can get 162 but with Fringe (22" long) i can get another 25 or more 10s on there. Tradeoff being they can get in each other's way.
Those cost more than the halfrack I bought and the 9 rubber flooring mats 😯
😂 Definitely not cheap! Now I'm interested to know what rack you have with those mats
Being a simple minded person myself I think I could buy a pair of Ironmaster dumbbells with the extra 45 pound kit, powerblocks, and nuobells and still come out cheaper than your fixed set. Plus be able to go up in 2.5 pound increments, plus take up the smallest footprint for really fast drop sets… just saying. :)
