Dumbbells are all you can have and you can only have 5 pairs, what weights you gonna have in your gym?

I would have 25s,35s,55s,70s and 100s.

Sounds about right. With this assortment you could build an amazing physique.

I would get either Ironmaster, Trulap, Power blocks, Nuobell, Snode or one of the other adjustable options. I just found out  a competitor copied Ironmaster at a fraction of the price. The name escapes me but it would worth a look.

Having said that if you have a waist high strong table you could fill it with plates and two spin lock dumbbell bars.  I can make two one hundred pound dumbbells quick.  The part sticking out isn't a problem.  For stuff like incline dumbbell presses you can angle them easily on your thighs to kick them up.

Oldtimer, you can’t do that. It’s 5 pairs.but yeah ironmaster dbs are pretty cool.

35, 45, 65, 85, 105.

That was how I left a bunch of spin locks set up years ago. I think I could go back to those numbers and be perfectly content again.

They are awesome.

I have a set of those that go to 120, and another that goes to 75 that I'm going to sell.

I feel like these adjustable dumbbells are unstable and if you drop them, some components are bound to come loose.

If you have to drop then they are too heavy for you

Bowfex, powerblock ones sure, but Ironmasters are all metal.

One of the newer ones (noubell?) or something can actually be thrown and bounce with no issue.

But I still never drop the ironmasters, and would use crash pads if I did.
