They have 10kg adjustable dumbbells for €20 which is a great price. Gonna get themas I’m lost without the gym and nowhere else has any in stock!

genuinely thinking if i can get 2 sets - stack it up with a heavy and a lite - do we know are they standard spinlock class weights?

Cubee

Anyone have any experience with the exercise bike they're getting in? Say it will be crazy on Thursday!

Thanks

As argos is constantly sold out, I'm considering getting one pair to myself. Just wondering whether or not that small pin would hold the weight while doing vertical movements. I guess not ...

Must have been only selected stores.. was so looking forward to getting some bits

They are the 1" holes by the look of it.

they are not spinlock though, it those clips so unsafe for lots of movements.

The 1.95kg listed is the handle.

You can see in the image how they interlock with each other, into the indents. So it looks like if you had 2 sets you could get a 1.25kg, 2kg, 1.25kg, 2kg onto 1 side, and possibly another 1kg.

Its good that they do not come with the fiddly small ones that just take up space. If you had a couple of 5kg plates you would have a decent amount, but I really would not like them having no spinlocks.

They don't look great. You'd need to buy 4 to get any sort of decent arrangements. Or 2 DBs plus 2 extra 5kh plates else where.
I could think of better ways to spend 80 euro on fitness gear. The kettlebell for 20 is better imo

Yea the spinlocks make the difference. That's why I did not wake up 8am to queue at Lidl's door.
I got there by 12 to have a look at the quality but they were all gone.

As Mellor said, there are better ways to spend 80 euros on fitness gear.

I was considering making cement dumbbells, but they need to be too big to get a decent amount of weight.

you have to factor in availability though. These lidl ones will be gone in a second, most places are sold out of weights.

I think gymnastic rings are cheap & versatile if you have somewhere to hang them, and they are not being snapped up by the looks of things, I see plenty on sale.
