The Best Adjustable Dumbbells: NÜOBELLs
If all you had in your home gym were an adjustable bench and a pair of these NÜOBELLs, you’d be in pretty good shape. You can do pretty much everything you need to get jacked and stacked with a rack of dumbbells, but that’s the issue: For home gym owners, buying and storing an entire wall of weights isn’t usually practical—or possible. That’s why adjustable dumbbells are so handy. They pack 16 pairs of dumbbells into the space of a single 80-pound pair, and the quality is top-tier. With a twist-and-go adjustment system, knurled steel handles, and a quiet, low-tolerance construction, the NÜOBELLs are a must-have for any home gym, no matter how much space you’ve got.
