Product Information

The 40kg Adjustable Dumbbells come with their own tray to facilitate simple weight changes and tidy storage.

The shape — with the handle encased within the weights — takes a little getting used to, but that was our only note. To change the weight, you turn the dial to the desired weight, and the mechanism will lock in the appropriate weight plates. We find the design a bit wide and cumbersome for exercises like curls and even side-loaded squats and lunges. All other products have been trialled (and deemed pump-worthy) by the Esquire editors, having helped them tighten their t-shirt sleeves sans-gym. If you're only ever going to be training at home, then err on the heavy side: you want your bench press PB to be defined by how much weight you can lift, not how much weight is available to lift.However, adjustable dumbbells mean you can still have just as many weight options, while taking up the equivalent space of a footstool. That said, it's essential to handle them with care and consider your exercise preferences when incorporating them into your home gym setup. Sound is a factor with some adjustable dumbbells, and "these are quieter than the Bowflex SelectTech 1090 Dumbbells, but make more noise than the PowerBlocks," explains Samuel.

The innovative 40kg Adjustable Dumbbells are the perfect dumbbells for your home gym set up, whether you’re looking to train in your garage or your living room, removing the need for a full rack of dumbbells and can be used to build, strengthen and tone your entire body. You might notice that some of the adjustable dumbbells below have an Esquire Approves logo emblazoned upon them. If you’re new to strength training, there are few brands better placed to introduce you to this method of exercise than York, who has been pioneering weightlifting equipment since 1932. Because they may feel different compared to standard dumbbells in movements you do regularly, it's important to focus on slow, controlled movements and proper form throughout your workout (especially as you acclimate to them). The included portable cradles make for easy storage, and the compact design means the entire set takes up far less space than typical fixed-weight dumbbell sets.The rubber knurling and plastic central bar felt a bit cheaper than premium metal competitors, and the bulky shape could be somewhat cumbersome for exercises like bicep curls, catching against our thighs during the initial phase of the movement. If you’re looking to use a set of adjustable movements for plenty of accessory movements, go with something more dumbbell-shaped," Samuel explains. Weakness: You have to spin the collars on and off every time you want to change the weight, making this a lengthy process.
