For those of you that are doing P90X

The Bowflex Selecttech dumbbells are amazing, I have the 552 dumbbells and they are excellent for what I need. Basically any weight from 5 - 52.5 in 2.5 increments. You can adjust the knobs very quickly so they don't slow you down, they don't take up near the space a complete set of dumbbells would and they're portable so if you're on vacation you can just grab the dumbbells and your iron man chin bar and that's all you need... I believe they're $400 new and can be had for $350 on ebay (including shipping). I got mine on craigslist for $125 because one was jammed and the dial wouldn't rotate but I fixed it in less than 10 minutes and now they both work great.

You should try Powerblocks.. they are like the selecttech ,only 50x better. Pricey though.

I have Turbo Bells and they go from 5-60. They come with a stand and are super quick to change. I paid about $300 or so shipped to my house.

I tried the Bowflex ones in the store once and didn't care for them.
