Help needed finding some decent dumbbells for home gym

[SkScotchegg]

Hi there, basically I was wanting to make a little setup at home for those times when I cant make it to the gym or holidays when the gym is closed. The only thing I can't seem to find at the moment is the dumbbells, whenever I look at websites they only go upto 30kg 99% of the time.

I probably cant bench as much as you guys, at my gym the dumbbells only go upto 40kg to I have to bench with a barbell and my max right now as I'm cutting still is 135kg so I was thinking I'd like a pair of dumbells which are around 50kg each but you just can't seem to find them that heavy on any websites?

Also I'm still not sure if I should go for those adjustable types which go from 20-50kg or seperate ones, not sure which are better and which will be cheaper.

EDIT: At my gym I use 8kg, 12kg and 14kg dumbbells for shoulders, I use 40kg for chest as thats all they have, but I'd like 40kg, 45kg and 50kg dumbbells, maybe even higher upto 65kg.

I can find benches and squats racks and everything else I need, I just cant seem to find heavy dumbbells.
Thanks in advance.

Bodymax dumbbells go up to 50kg from a quick look if you want fixed dumbbells although it may almost make more sense to get a set in terms of price. If you wanted adjustable ones then that probably gives you a greater range but messing about with the various weights to get the right amount on may take up quite a bit of your workout.

would be easier if everyone just posted questions in their, as i may miss other threads.

the best option for dumbells is ironmasters, there is only one supplier in the UK so don't bother trying to look for them any cheaper.

£475 for the cheapest set which goes from 2kg to 34kg
£675 for the big set which goes up to 54kg (the one you want)

you can buy it in stages if you want

you can buy the £475 set then upgrade to the 54kg set for £250, obviously it is cheaper to buy the full set from the start but it is a lot of money.

you can also get kettlebell handles for £100 each so not only will you have a full set of dumbells you will have a full set of kettle bells too. the same pins and weights work on both.

that is the best value for money option, buying seperates will cost you £3K brand new, these are the only adjustable dumbells worth buying, do not go for cheaper manufacturers which use plastic. etc.

there are at least 2 or 3 members on this forum that have these dumbells, real life pictures can be found in the official thread.
