The mil spec ones are so thick that they are harder to handle and they eat up a ton of collar space. The Echo V2s also don’t have any unpleasant offgassing. I’d also suggest t

Budget Adjustable Dumbbells?

HOME GYM DUMBBELL DEBATE

I have powerblocks and they seem to be a solid choice as well. No complaints. Overhead extensions are a bit awkward.

The American Barbell bar sells for $595 new, I would list it for $400 but accept $300. For the plates, it is mixed. The bumpe
