CAP Rubber Coated Hex Dumbbell Set with Storage Rack | 100–210 lb Options, Space-Saving Vertical Compact Storage for Home Gym Strength Training

I get downvoted on this almost every time but people sleep on spinlocks and even fixed especially if you want to save money. Yes it takes up a little space but honestly it is pretty much the same with an adjustable dumbbell stand. Yes it requires a little planning. Both spinlocks and fixed are indestructible and not some locked ecosystem. On Amazon you can get a CAP fixed dumbbells to 5-30 pound pairs (210 pound) with a rack! for $300. Then from 35 - 50+ pounds you can get spinlocks. And my oh my go on market place and you can more readily find 1" plates for less than $0.75 a pound than oly 2" plates. Even brand new with all the price increases will be less than $2 a pound. Again on amazon you can get a CAP spinlock 52.5 (105 total weight) pound pair for $129. (I would not buy that one but instead for York Contour set but that is the cheapest at the moment). Then yes because the handle suck for presses you can look at Kensui Adaptabell. $300.00 $129.00 $ 50.00 So below your $500.00 budget and you can drop set the fuck out of these guys (and I mean both definitions). Yeah you know what people don't tell you about adjustables. Its actually annoying going back to the base and screwing around with some levers. Fixed wins every time when comes to drop sets.
