Presumably you're looking at adjustable dumbbells? You get a set and then if necessary you can get more weights.

Inflation has really hit or the price has gone up to come down for Black Friday but something like this seems sensible to me. argos.co.uk ...the plates can also be useful on a barbell and if you need heavier you can buy more weights. |

I was looking at the vinyl set of that! I was wondering about added extra weight plates ... the write up says max weight for the bar should I assume that's max weight sold rather than don't add extra? my current set has a narrower bar than the new ones by the looks of things |

Not sure, Pix. Ours are the case iron ones. Some from Decathlon. Most from Strength Shop online. Of course, we didn't have the factor of the vouchers you have to spend in Argos.

It says max weight on a single dumbbell is 20kg. Each dumbbell is 10kg (total for 2 therefore 20kg) as sold. Personally I'd go metal. |

There's a £45 decathlon set on Argos. Issue with decathlon is they don't always follow the standard sizing. The answers on the questions suggest they are 1.1 inch, standard is 1 inch, whilst Olympics is 2 inch.

Standards are important if you want to mix and match kit. With the decathlon ones you'd have to buy any new plates directly from them.

We have Decathlon plates from a set VP bought that fit on our standard bar.
