Before I drop $3-400 on an adjustable dumbbell set, I would like some opinions on what's out there. I've read good and bad about most of them on Amazon reviews, but I trust you guys more :happy:

    I've heard of sets as low as $50 at a "Richards" sporting goods store. I've never used them, but as long as they are easy to use I can see them as a great space saving piece of equipment.

    I have the Bowflex selecttech bumbbell set(52.5# max) and think they are great. They save so much time. I use them doing the P90X workouts.

    I use the Reebok Speed Pack. Bought them at Target on sale around $60 per set. They work just fine.

    Make sure you get a set that secures tightly... A long time ago I had a set where you just screwed the additional weights over the end, and the locking mechanism on the ends was terrible-- the whole time during a workout the set wobbled and clanked! Just something to consider when buying yours.
