Pepin Adjustable Dumbbells use an updated spin-lock system to get you yoked and stoked.
Spin-Lock Adjustable Dumbbells have been around for decades. They're cheap, rather quick to change, and use standard plates. The issue is they can't go very heavy and create cavities in your quads when going back for a bench press.
Pepin Dumbbells work to fix these problems. They're made in Canada, have nice knurling and are a simple, nice addition to a home gym.
They're not the only option though. BaadAss Dumbbells are a similar design and today we compare the two.

Here’s the advantage of having relatively inexpensive handles available independent the proprietary weights: once you buy all your stack of standard iron, you can slowly buy more handles for supersets and drop sets. Not a bad option.

Lots of criticism in the comments regarding Pepins price, remember one guy is making these out of a shop not much larger than a two car garage. You'll receive poor quality plates from baadass and I believe iron masters are made overseas, Pepins are priced fairly considering current market conditions and manufacturing process. Love the vids Coop, consider getting a pair of digital calipers to compare handle diameters, plate thickness, and even the guage of racks for those amazon specials.

@immelting9834 3 года назад

I still use a spin lock ez curl bar , tricep bar , and trap bar/suitcase lift bar. I have 2 of each so I don't have to change weights in the middle of a workout. Dumbbells are old school hex shaped 5lbs to 150lbs. I also still have a homemade squat and bench press rack I built in the early 80's. All this fancy shit wasn't around 40 years ago when I started lifting. And it all still does the job just fine.

@toddjeffries6732 2 года назад

I've owned them for 9 months to a year, really have only ever used them from 95lbs to 120lbs, so maybe 2 or 3 times a day, 5 days a week. For the price they are the best. I like them but obviously like any other DB like these, the time it takes to change the weight is annoying, but it's the best/cheapest option if you need this kind of weight. I have dropped them pretty hard with over 100lbs and absolutely nothing happened other than them loosening up a tiny bit.

@davidforget2691 3 года назад

Having those Pepin Dumbbells for more than 6 months now... still as solid as the first day! If you have to drop your dumbells on the floor, I guess they are too heavy for you. I’ve never needed to drop them even when bench pressing. I give them a 9.5/10 just because perfection doesn’t exist. Proud Canadian right here.

@filipkopchev7461 Год назад

The variation of dumbbells is extremely useful for a small person like me ru-vid.comUgkxP26Tir6n60vUkdtn4mbwhRO8cwuJQNy2 But the dumbbell size being large it's hard to do certain exercises like deadlift ( I have to have my hands and legs a bit wider to accommodate the size of the DB )Otherwise happy with the purchase. No excuse not to lift weight when it's snowing outside.

@randomOAS7 3 года назад

I think the complaint about not being as useful for drop sets or super sets is blown out of proportion. I would guess that not *a ton* of people even do these in their training. With normal spin-locks I've never found myself wishing I could swap weights quickly. What I'm using for the day is what I'm using for the day.

Unlike you, I haven't had good luck with my PowerBlocks. After one tipped off the bench on to the floor, it was bent. It took an hour back and forth on the vice trying to bend it back into position so the plates did not bind. After that I ordered fixed dumbbells, 4 mos later they are being delivered Saturday.

Although not marketed for it, Ironmaster handles actually do well with standard plates too! Cheaper way of getting your IM handles to 100+ lbs without paying for the kits.

At $300 for just the handles that's barely cheaper than the these though. All these adjustable dumbbells are a ripoff for what they are.

So, I think its all a matter of making it a priority. The discipline is there. Good luck bro!!!👍

@scottb4767 3 года назад

I prefer this style myself. As for super setting I would pair it with a curl bar or straight bar movement. I don't do a lot of "run the rack" sort of working out, and that would be the only hindrance for someone in my opinion. At my age I tend to move up in weight per set in increments anyway so I'm changing weight or at the very least putting things away and getting the next weight or equipment set up in between sets. I think the price on these is actually pretty affordable, considering I just paid 75.00 for a set of 35 DB's from Wal-Mart. I'm thinking I might just order a set of these!!!

@oCoolCato 3 года назад

The old design spin locks are a great inexpensive option for people looking to do dumbbell work 85lbs and below . Also I was thinking since they’re so cheap, you could buy a second set of regular spin locks and do super sets that way.

@Joe___R 3 года назад

It would be great if they made a pair of wrenches so you can tighten them better & loosen them afterwards. I would make them similar to a armourer's wrench, it would also help people disabled people use them.

@gunsmokezz 8 месяцев назад

Old school design from 30 years ago. Had something similar back in hs days. Yes, they loosen up and constantly have to tighten

@unmannedtank 3 года назад

Great review. Having used spinlock dumbbells, using these would actually be a major downgrade. The amount of time and effort it took to switch weights for the spinlocks were one of the main reason why I've switched to Powerblocks. With spinlocks, I would rack and unrack them like you would doing deadlifts with a barbell - leave the dumbbells down on its side, unlock both collars at once, unrack and rerack the plates on one end, and then do the same for the other end. With these, it looks like I have to tip them onto one side while balancing the other end, unlock one collar and make sure that the plates don't slide or move at all, stack/unstack while balancing the plates, lock them in, and then do it again for the other end. Even with 85lbs, you're stacking and balancing four plates on top of each other. The setup just sounds like a major, major pain in the ass. One thing that's nice is that the ends are flat, and doesn't have the handle rod jutting out, so it's much easier to kick them up. But other than that, they sound awful to use. I looked on their site, and they are $700 USD for the 190lb set and $200 for just the handles + collars. Even if you got the weights separately for about $250 or so, you're still much better off going with Powerblocks or something with an easier mechanic, even if they don't go up heavier. The only reason I could see buying these is if you're going to only use them for heavy sets above 90 and replace the increments up to 120bs and have another set of adjustable dumbbells for everything else. Going through a full workout with 5 different exercises plus warmups seem like an absolute nightmare with these.

@shaozepan7676 3 года назад

I think it really depends on the workout routine, definitely not for droplets

They are not for supersets but they will not break on you and they won't break your wallet.

A downgrade to Baadass is that they aren’t as cosmetically pleasing as Pepins and I do wish they did a polyurethane powder coating.. I’d pay the extra money for that. But they definitely are durable, and gets the job done. Changing weight does suck but I knew that going in.

@treyvincent1759 2 года назад

One thing these kinds of dumbbells help with (versus the old school spin dumbbells) is when lifting heavy. Resting heavy DBs on your damn legs, when the metal end sticks out, is a bitch. These make it so that you can still use your old school 1-inch diameter plates and rest them on your legs. I also like that if you have to swap out your plates, you can just buy some standard 1-inch plates to replace yours when needed.

The Pepin dumbells are made in Beauce not that far from Quebec city and the guy is making pretty much everything by himself in his own garage or something. He said he can't meet the demand. Baadass dumbell are made in Alberta.

I would only get two dumbbells a adjustable dumbell that goes from 10-50 per dumbell for stuff like arms and a loadable dumbell 2 inch for heavy stuff like bench or row

Looks good. I have both Power Blocks as well as Iron Master. I like them both for different reasons but more often reach for the Power Blocks just because the changing weight selection is faster (and I don't drop them). I'm not yet convinced about the durability of some of the plastic engineered designs (other than Power Blocks which have stood the test of time so far). I try not to drop the Iron Masters as well but given some of the torture tests they've been through I don't worry as much.

Does anyone else think Coop goes to bed with a knurled bar?! I've never heard someone be so obsessed with knurling in my life!

@joelsprunger 2 года назад

Because they are affordable, you could get 2 pair and set up for your superset ahead of time. Otherwise you could do one arm at a time and put different weight on each handle.

Hey Coop! what's the width on those plates?

@goffsquadfitness334 3 года назад

These look great! I’m ok with a little extra time to switch weights and the option to only buy the handle is great!

@billymckee9438 3 года назад

I have these with their plates. By far the biggest annoyance is the screw getting too tight. It happens every other time I use them. Sometimes I have to smack the edge of the screw with a different handle to get it free.

@Rastamahatma 3 года назад

Try spinning the plates, normal spinlocks have the same problem. This is better than them slipping loose on you while overhead.

@billymckee9438 3 года назад

@@Rastamahatma Spinning the plates doesn't work when it gets REALLY stuck. Pepin even recommends holding the plates between your legs and spinning the handle. Even that doesn't work half of the time. But yes, I'd take stuck plates over loose plates.

You should look at reviewing the Core Fittness adjustable dumbbells. They are a pretty good "budget" option as far as adjustable dumbbells go. I have been enjoying them so far. Only go up to 50lbs. though.

Would you please post links for the equipment you use in the description of the video? That'll make finding it online MUCH easer. Especially with some companies whose names are harder to understand or spell.

I would argue that you could use standard weight plates with your iron masters too. You can buy just the handle on their website as well.

@@whenhen right and theyre very long not to mention that end post digging into your thighs(before bench), shoulder(overhead tricep press) or whatever! The point behind these the Nuobell etc is vs what you described to even the bowflex style is that the length is relative to the weight... you dont have a 12inch 20-30lb dumbbell and its a flat end! Some of us bench heavy so the spinlocks for $30 just arent really an option when you have to hoist them up on your lap, granted its a few secs but who wants to stab themselves!?

When you tighten the end cap try spinning the last plate in the same direction with the end cap and you'll get a tighter fit.

@TheMakki 3 года назад

For supersets - just purchase additional handles and have the weights set up before hand. Handles are cheap compared to the weights. So, set you up a 35lb, 25lb, and 15lb before you start the set.

@Tony-pb2gi Год назад

that works unless your super set is 80, 70, 60. which is like $400 in weights lol

@FitnessNews24 3 года назад

Why don't they just make the end caps the same size as their plates? It's flat and long enough to probably not be annoying but just seems a bit odd

Hi coop, as someone who recently built a garage gym, I love your content. However, all of my flooring is foam tile. I have 4 individual stall mats put together to deadlift on and that works pretty well. However, I’m thinking about maybe building or buying a wood squat platform to put inside my power rack. Do you have any suggestions for building it or buying one somewhere? The rack is the rogue RML-490, and space is not a concern. Hopeful and thankful for any feedback!
