Our take
I picked up the Athletic Works 40lb adjustable dumbbell set for home workouts. At $35.99, it's a budget-friendly option. The cast iron plates feel sturdy, but adjusting the weight takes some time because you have to unscrew the ends and swap plates. It's not as quick as modern weight selectors. The 40-pound total limits heavier lifts. Fine for beginners, but serious lifters may outgrow it quickly. The set works for basic curls, presses, and rows. Just be prepared for a workout changing plates between sets.
