A question about dumbbells

Rothko

I've decided that I want to get a set of dumbbells but I don't really know much about them. In fact I've never really used any sort of weights before.

Anyway, I'm just wondering what kind of brand I should get. Preferably, something that's decent but relatively cheap. Also, what weight should I get, since I'm only starting out with them.

If you could mention a good place to get them in Wexford or Waterford that would be great too.

Thanks for any help.

I would get adjustable cast iron ones. So you can change weights for different exercises and for when you get stronger

It is on amazon cheaper with free delivery too

If you are serious about it you might want to get a barbell set where you will get dumbbells too, if you end up getting a barbell later on it can end up a good bit more expensive. Or if properly serious you would get an olympic set.

that's the exact ones I have Rubadub, very good quality and easy to buy extra plates for.

OP, the main thing is to avoid vinyl weights at all costs
