I love that Coop and the team review adjustable dumbbells so much. In a home gym, these are super convenient. You don't have to have dozens of dumbbells or add plates, secure plates, use dumbbells, remove plates, re-rack plates, fetch other plates, and secure again. You just rack and twist.

I own Trulap Gen 2 and love these shiny beasts !! The handle is excellent thickness with fantastic knurking. The steel plates are sleek and fantastic, and when you slide the dumbell out it feels and sounds like a sword being unsheethed

Seems like the TRULAP is the obvious choice. 🤷‍♂️ heavier weight, increments, durability, handle size, price. I mean, it checks all the boxes for me.

I have the Nuobells and they are amazing. I have had them for a couple of years with no issues. I do like that they have replacement parts now. Just found out about that here (thanks Coop!). The only thing I would change is to go up to 100 pounds or more, but 80 is fine for most accessories. If you want smaller increments, you could always throw on some platemates. I do recommend getting the stand with them. It's a quality piece and really makes them easier to use.

Have the Trulap Gen 2. They are great and look sleek. Waiting for the stand to be restocked to buy that as well.

Imma just wait for the rep heavy adjustables

I have had the Gen 2 Trulaps for a couple weeks. The shipping to get them was very frustrating, but they arrived well packed in 6 different boxes so there was no damage due to overweight boxes. Assembly was very easy, disappointed that the stand for the Gen 2’s won’t be out for another 2 months so I have to deal with them on the ground for now.
Getting to the actual product I would say that there are a GameChanger for me. My current home gym had a lot of voids in my dumbells where the increment jumps were just too large to be able to go to the next size per exercise. With these dumbbells having the ability to go up 2 to 3 pounds it works out very well. When doing rear shoulder exercises and you don’t want to make larger jumps for a smaller muscle group. It allows you to do so. I love the larger grip. I don’t notice the weights rattling much as long as your motion is controlled. if you look online for discount codes, you can even get the trulaps cheaper then what is on this video. The stainless steel look is awesome. Thank you for putting out videos like this as a previous review you did on these adjustable dumbbells really helped me make my decision.

I have the Trulap Gen 2’s and am really happy with them. I will admit I didn’t quite expect them to be as large as they are, but they have a nice feel.

I love my trulap dumbbells. I mentioned this in another video but if you get the 1.25 magnetic add-ons you can basically go up in 1 1/2 pound increments on the trulaps. That’s hard to beat. And the knurl is pretty aggressive, I would equate it to the Gungnir of Norway adjustable dumbbells, just thicker shaft.

I bought the Nuobells in 2020 when I could not get to any gyms, and they are awesome. Not a perfect replacement for a huge selection of dumbbells, but they are all I need. I am extremely happy with them.

[DrewPeabawls]

For some reason I just like the fact that power blocks are power blocks and I like how they work and how awkward they are they make my homework out interesting

[joecowan]

Looking forward to the REP Heavy Adjustables coming out later this week!

[TheCarterHomeGym]

I think the Trulaps are pretty intriguing. I'd like to get my hands on a pair *pause* and try them out.

[MatthewKeene-je]

Everything coop doesnt like about the trulaps i LOVE thank you for this video my man!

[darrellrussell]

You going to review any Grifin equipment?

[NoTimeForThatNow]

I just got my trulaps, took a month and a half after ordering to get them from Canada to Florida. For a couple weeks they were out of stock, but the rest was UPS delays, customs declarations, etc. and to top it off they misplaced one of the 6 boxes and it took an extra week after the other 5 arrived. Other than shipping issues, they look and feel great, I dont mind the relatively thick handles, and the overall length is longer than nuobells but not if you stop at 80lbs like the nuobells. I don't think these are going to break or fail anytime soon either.

[freedomlost]

Absolutely love my Nuobells. They're by far the best combination of quick adjusting while also feeling like an actual dumbbell. I also came from the terrible Bowflex 1095 dumbbells so anything would be an upgrade.

[JimmyHuynhdesign]

Coop please warn your audience Trulap takes forever to ship. I placed my order Feb 15th, it’s April 11th now and they still have not arrived yet. UPS status says label has been made for the past two weeks. I don’t see any sign of movement and they’ve already charged my card since February. I bought them on their website.

[teemohnay]

I love the fragility of the Nuobell and cradle. I get strength by having to gently control the weight. Makes me feel strong af hitting the 80s but then gently putting them back. Hundreds of workouts in and they still work/look like new. Also, the dual leg stand is badass. Hella sturdy. Makes the cradle alot better.

Learned how to do a better fly today. Feels better, and I don't feel i will get an injury like i did with my old methods. Thanks Jay!
