Anyone know a good dumbbell set for multiple weights that relatively cheap. Ive been moving up on weight and the individual sets are starting to get expensive. Im doing 30 reps per set with 30 lb dumbbells (you wouldnt be able to tell by looking at me lmao) but going up to 40 is about $150.

Im thinking about doing a dumbbell set with the multiple weights but I swear they are charging too much for these. I just dont see 1 40lb dumbbell costing $75. Its stupid

fitness is one of those industries that have artificially inflated prices, just look at the prices of benches by themselves

$2/pound new, $1/pound used is rule of thumb for weight prices I thought.

Buy from someone on Offer Up or a similar service, weights are pretty blatantly overpriced when buying from stores.

Go to Dicks brah. I was looking on offerup and some people there have lost their minds with the prices. I'm planning to get one of those adjustable dumbbells, that way my place isn't filled up with weights.

I feel like $2/lb new was high pre covid

Not sure though it's actually been a while since I bought plates or dbs
