    Anyone seen these bowflex free weights?

    I think it's bowflex, i'm not sure. They look like regular dumbells but before you take them off the rack you can select the amount of weight by just twisting the bar. I've been all over the internet and I can't find them. I saw them on a commerical that looked like a bowflex one offering a $15 a month financing option.

    Anyone seen this?

    Yeah, I have seen the commercial and they are made by bowflex. The thing is that they only go up to around 50 lbs.

    Thanks

    I'm just starting out so 50 pounds is enough.

    Do you know if there are two dumbbells in a set; there's gotta be right? You don't know the website do ya? I don't see anything on the bowflex website about them.

    i have a set of powerblocks and i hate them. I have those, 65lbers, 80lbers, 100lbs, and 125's. IMO you'd be better off buying one of the "home gym" screw on type dumbell sets with plates, they are much better than the powerblocks!

    i saw them at Sears, i think. they suck, cheaply made. sometimes the weights do not catch properly and the dumbel is all off center. not worth it

    The idea is cool, but if the price range is too high, then i say just get freeweights....

    Personally, I invested in something called the "Arm Blaster". I like it
    Anyone else tried it? It kick's bowflex's 100-in-1 weight crap.

    I thought you were Narkissos for a second there, seeing as you ripped off his avatar...

    That's pretty lame, because he is 'the shit' and you cannot emulate that...

    something that seems as convenient as the boxflex DBs may just be more of a hassle then you are looking for

    I've used the PowerBlocks at a buddy's training studio. They seemed like they would be ok for a home gym. They price definitely sucks though. What didn't you like about them? I've also used the screw off collars and you spend your whole workout adjusting those damn things. With the PowerBlock, I just slid the pin in to adjust the weight.
