There are two different kinds of dumbbells that I enjoy using for two different reasons. The first kind of dumbbell that I enjoy using is the neoprene coated one because it’s softer and it’s just easier to use especially on your hands when you’re doing movements that include bicep curls or shoulder press or Arnold press or walking lunges. When you’re using dumbbells in that manner and you're moving in your hand it’s just less grating on your hand and the skin.



The other kind of dumbbell that I enjoy using is just the regular cast iron grip one. We'll figure out what the right brand is called and you can get that either on Amazon or Dick’s Sporting Goods are really anywhere. These dumbbells are good to get heavier and a lot of times I just use one and I turn it sideways and hold either side and it’s just more comfortable that way






Either of these types of dumbbells are really good and it’s OK if you want to choose one kind and stick with it when you’re getting all of the different weights of dumbbells that you have so that they match. Honestly, I prefer it when my dumbbells and workout equipment match. 


The most affordable place that I found that has these dumbbells is going to be Amazon. A lot of times they’re on sale as well and so I usually just keep track of them and then when the price goes down that’s when I grab them because I know I’m getting a better deal than pretty much anywhere, even Dick’s Sporting Goods. It’s really expensive to buy them from there so that’s why I like to buy mine on Amazon. You also don’t need 1 million pairs of dumbbells and so just getting maybe three or four pairs or sets is gonna do the trick especially if you’re just working out at home.


Another underrated place that might take a little while longer for you to find all of the weights that you want is going to be your local thrift stores. A lot of thrift stores have sections with workout gear and don’t knock till you try it. You can and should be cleaning the items that you grab from thrift stores. There are plenty of good finds and you get a whole Thrifting experience out of finding weights.
