Trulap 92lbs Adjustable Dumbbells - Better Than Nuobell and Snode? 

Who will come up with the worst dumbbell name next?

The weight jumps are not "weird numbers", it's exactly 1.5 kg per click. The ones sold in Europe have a dial showing the weight in kg. The weight of a set of plates is 3kg, but at each odd position, a set of half plates is engaged, resulting in 1.5 kg increase per click, all the way from minimum to maximum. (extra plates are only included on every second click.)

That Shirt 👌🧡 Thanks for the support Brandon.

Surprised at all the negative comments - i guess the market for Nuobell style dumbbells is a bit over-saturated - but these look great. Basically a Nuobell with more weight and more increments at just a little higher price - i see them as a solid option.

Just in case anyone is considering nuobells. Mine started to malfunction after a couple small drops. If nuobell determines the damage is consistent with a drop they will not honor the warranty, which is what happened to me.

You’re an influencer? I thought you were a Gemini... Thanks for the review. You’re definitely the best, non-annoying review guy. 👍🏽

Hard to see a clear and honest review when things are sent for free. Most speak wonders to please brands and have more free products. Thank you!

Good points about the 1) incomplete instructions and 2) 16 bolts that are not all the same. The company directly emailed me the complete instructions upon purchase. Bolts were annoying because the 2 different lengths do matter

More aggressive knurling would be nicer... but they do the job well enough so I'm happy

I have these adjustable dumbbells. I bought it in another country under a different name. but I also had Nuobell and I have Ironmaster. These dumbbells from this video are the best!!

Looks nice, still love these Ironmaster's I picked up recently, goes up to a pair of 135's too 👍

Thanks. Your analysis really helped. I have seen one other video that did a good job of reviewing, but you mentioned some areas that I wasn't aware of and not doing the discount code was good form. Just reinforces why I have watched your videos a number of times over the years.

Great review, Brandon! These seem ok, but I've yet to see this style of dumbbell that I would personally buy for my home gym. I think the cradle is a little off-putting, but also the fact that they are fragile makes them impractical. I mean, you're likely to eventually drop them at some point (whether it's within the warranty window or not). Btw, I probably would've made the same mess unboxing these lol.

Can you please review the Gen 2 version which are supposed to have some nice improvements most notably more pronounced knurling and improved internal components for less rattling? Unless these are the Gen 2 version. Thanks for the review.

Thanks for uploading Brandon. Great info on those dumbbells

Solid review. You hit some points (important ones) that others typically dismiss as white noise. Keep up the good work.

Fyi, there's a crack at the bottom of one of the cradles. @5:03 you can see where the plastic is cracked.

Man these look soooo nice, i am curious how they stand up to the test of time.

The perfect adjustable DB has yet to be made: slim, heavy (120+), quick adjustment, open handle, droppable, all metal construction, made in the USA.

14:29 These should have been named the Rattleshake Weight

I'm glad you pointed out how they clank I hate that and my 90lb power blocks do the same. I want good looking, smaller diameter adjustable ones that quickly change weight like these do. What is your ultimate favorites?

At the 5:00 min mark in the video, it looks like the dumbbell holder is cracked. Did you receive it like that it did it occur during re-racking?

It's a clean design with the SS - almost industrial. Those increments are a bit weird though and I assume a user would get used to them.

Very good video! I was eagerly awaiting to see if our initial impressions were the same.

Hopefully, they also go up to at least 100 lbs each when they do a redesign with the 5 lb increment jumps.

Why not open the box, tip it upsidedown, slide the box off, remove everything until the dumbell is just sitting on one piece of foam, before tightening up

Should have filmed the massacre of the box. It could have been the first interesting unboxing ever on YT. Great review.

Lots of great adjustable coming out. My wife told me she would get me a pair of whichever ones I wanted for Father’s Day, and man, it was hard to pick. I went with the Iron Masters that go to 120, because they are time tested and heavy. It was between these, the iron masters and the quick change heavy duty Pepin but the Pepin were just too much money.

I agree that it's a little weird for them to not be drop-proof if they go up to 92 pounds. The rattle is a bit annoying, for sure. I don't think the packaging is as much of an issue as you make it out to be. I'm surprised they packaged each dumbbell in it's own box to begin with. My Ironmasters came in many different boxes.

i have them. they are produced in china and manufacturer is slapping on different logos. they are pretty good.

I'm hesitating between Iron Masters (because they're closer to solid, fixed dumbbells) and Trulaps because you can quickly change them into weights, but I have the impression that they take up more space during exercises. I've never been so ripped

The dropping issue seems like a major flaw...id rather them take the time and make them drop resistant at least even if they cost more up front, its still cheaper than a voided warranty and buying a new dumbbell. I like to train to failure so something like a flat bench trying to get back up can be a pain and dropping them 6" to 12" can happen and can be concerning.

For any adjustable dumbbell I'm always looking at the company website to see if I can purchase the part(s) that is/are likely to fail separately. So far, nearly all of them disappoint - especially the ones that would need it most.

I think they have the odd increments because of the conversion from kilograms to pounds.

pepin fast series go up to 120lbs per dumbbell not 80lbs so they are the heaviest.

Great to see this review with the full set of Rep DBs in the background 😂

Like the Nuobells, the plastic internals are a dealbreaker. Disposable mechanisms really aren't acceptable at this price point regardless of how well they function.

Trulap instructions writer guy is sweating in his seat after watching this 😅 These do look nice though. The weird number weight jumps would drive me insane 😂 I’m glad you covered how shaky they are out of the cradles. $800 is out of my price range (and I already have a set of adjustables), but still cool to check out.

Big thick weights

I'm in the market for adjustables, and it's a tough decision. Would totally go for the Pepin Fast Series but for the price point ($1,743 USD for the 2 X 100), not to mention that they're on a 10-week production lead time. So it's basically between these and the Ironmasters (of the handle-adjustable types, I don't see any reason to pick the Nuobells or Snodes over the Trulap). Basically it somes down to whether the quality, durability and dropability of the IMs outweighs a 30-second change time, vs. what looks to be less than 5 seconds with the Trulaps.

So, plastic in the internal mechanisms that make it work and voided warranty if gets dropped?... I'm pretty sure they're aware of the fact that the likelihood of drops is high, given the nature of the item and the kind of "warranty" they put on it. That's unfortunate... seems they _know_ it's likely to break...

Get the metric version and every weight increment is 1.5 kg. For Americans they just rounded off to the nearest pound.

Great review! I'm thinking about buying this one. But I already have the blowflex 552 and I need more weight. Would you buying this one and selling the old one, or just buy another 55-85 lbs dumbbells?

Got mine for 665 on Black Friday. Win

Plastic can be very durable if it's reinforced with BNNANO nanobarb material.

It uses the old mechanism as the OLD Nuobells (the smart flexbells or whatever they were called). Also, that handle is too thick.

This or the pepin fast series? I know the pepin goes heavier, but overall feel and build? And which would you use if you could only have 1of them?

Love to see more and more competition

5 pound increments and better knurling and I'm in

…good stuff.., can’t see what the tech is like once I buy a set of these in a few years… when my boys are ready to start weight training

I don’t get why these and Nuobell, which go heavier in weight, use passive knurling. They should be a legit medium for actual grip.

helpful video. do you know if these were Gen 1 or Gen 2? seems Gen2 came out recently and they said they addressed knurling and rattling, curious about it. thank you

Fast forward 9 months and Rep Partners up with Pepin crushing the competition with a dumbbell set that you could actually drop with a lifetime warranty. Wonder what's coming from Rogue Fitness in the near future?

Powerblocks still reign supreme 💪

$700 for something very heavy that you will use when your muscles are near failure, and you're not allowed to drop them... drop resistance should really be table-stakes for all forms of free weights.

First time watching, I like your style. Good work.

You beat Coop to the punch 🎉

if they make a 2.5lbs as the increment it would be so good

I dont understand why they dont just make one set of dumbbells to 110 pounds and then another set that starts at 115 and goes to 220 that way the internal rods are long enough that way you could cover everything with only two sets of dumbbells instead of trynna make these super heavy dumbbells all in one it makes it to vulunerable to dropping or you need caged dumbbells to get very heavy just have a light set and a heavy set its still just as convienient and people can get the second set when they outgrow the first set on some movements

I’ll stick with my loadable db handles.

These are just another low effort Alibaba special where at first one company can buy a few thousands units for 80 dollars a piece and try to make some quick money before there are 20 other “companies” doing the same thing. Fitness companies are getting so lazy and it’s just a race to who can get the slightly different design out to market the fastest with no effort. I’m getting tired of the nonsense weight increments, minimal effort into improving the instruction manuals, and price for such thoughtless products. Even there website is dishonest. They have a materials section and they only list cast iron, aluminum, and stainless steel used for the dumbbells but like you said there is plastic in them… what a shady company IMO.

Where can I buy one large nice dumbell. 150lbs, can't find one anywhere! Ridiculous.

Rest of the World is using kilograms. There you have perfect 1.5 kg steps.

When you don’t share the discount code 🙄

Adjustable dumbells up to 50lbs, and Iron Masters for the big lifts.

Did you take the shirt back to the store?

You got a good product, packaged well. Why all the complaing?

Still torn between these, Nuobell and Snodes. If only Snode jumped in 5lb increments. Would you say these are significantly more durable than nuobells? Thanks for content man! Also is your merch seasonal? Last couple times I’ve looked it’s all out of stock.

Do these have a flat area or will they roll when you put them down?

Do you have a link for this dumbbells?

Those might be purchased right after I press the like button!

Oh man you thought you were the main girl but found out you were the side dish lol Warranties only as good as long as the company is around lol

Man Trulap is making the rounds. That name though. Sounds like a set right off Amazon 😕 they do look nice though. Also, every drop is accidental 😅

can they be dropped full weight from 6 feet with no damage?

They sure look nice but your review doesn’t leave me desiring them haah

Can I have a link to buy this?

Good review 💪🏾

Would you pick these over powerblocks?

What’s the length of the handle?

Scale of 1-10 how annoyed were you that they told you you’d be the first to review? Video makes it seem like a 10.

IM are still undefeated Pepin fs r way too expensive so i don't count those

NO WHINE CELLAR represent Crü!

Turn down the discount code. Classy move. 👍🏼

Snode with plate mates FTW

Powerblocks... open box... youre done, enjoy your workout. 😂

Video starts at 7:30 , the rest is him pms-ing lol

Thicker handles are better for muscle building anyways

They dont seem to do anything better than existing adj. dumbbells nor do they do something different. Bummer.

Does these support Plate Mates?

FMJ REFERENCE!! 😅

If you cannot handle the weight to put them back on the rack, and have to drop them, they are too heavy for you.

stone cold is that you?!

They look huge

Dude, 9 minutes in and you haven't even begun reviewing the dumbell yet, still going on about packaging and what not. Who cares about that anyway

Gotta love chinese instructions.

Trulap isn’t so true.

Cost waayyyyyyy too much

The the moral of this whole story is... you are a shillfluencer.

Wish they went heavier like 170 pounds

$800? Nope major pass
