I think these dumbbells will work for me. Does anyone know if there is a longer bar (curved grip or straight) that these weight will fit on in order to create a longer barbell?

These plates are standard sized, so yes, nearly any bar should work with them.

I'm pretty sure they will fit on any adjustable bar. They seem standard. I'll probably buy a curved grip bar with the same ends eventually. I've seen them for sale on here and at sporting goods stores.

Seems like the shorter bars are what make the difference. Grips don't play a part in that. These are great by the way.

There not what you think. There not the quick adjustable ones. I ordered these and got a bunch of boxes with regular weights, bars, and locking nuts. Just like regular Dumbbells. Spin off the nut remove desired weights and spin nut back on.

My Rogue barbell is 28.5 mm in diameter and the fit is snug. It may not work well with a barbell for Power Lifting as the diameter on those barbells are at least 30 mm.

The new styled total gym handles are nice. You can buy handles like that at any sporting goods store and then with some heavy duty carabiners and locking loops attach them to the cable system on the Weider Total Body 5000. I was thinking about doing that and also making a cable extension and getting some leg cuffs.

I don't think so. I have used my pair extensively, and the length of the bar has not caused any issues doing curls.

Lesley, I misunderstood about the Bowflex 90. The hooks should work. There should be enoughspace on the dumbbell for the hooks to rest on.

I have power blocks and I have used the Fat Gripz with them. You will need to put the Fat Gripz on the handles first, before adding the weights. It will work, but it's a tight fit.

I have the Troy Lite barbell which has a 1" diameter bar and the 1" Lock-Jaw Collar works perfectly. I think, as mentioned here, Olympic bars have a thicker diameter bar.

the platforms were the hardest to even out. Mine aren't completely level either, but I ended up having to loosen them up to adjust them and hold them in place as well while tightening. As long as the straps that hold the original base on is tight, you won't need to worry about the half inch, the dumbbells will lock in and hold just fine.

1" diameter weights work just fine. You can pick up some at academy or similar stores.

The elite also have 2 2.5lb add-in weights for each dumbbell. The classics do not. So you end up being able to create more dumbbell weight combinations.

You can add more weights and you can buy them on ZFO Sports website. I've actually listed the link to the product your looking for, hope it helps.http://www.zfosports.com/zfosports/detail/?id=ws6

The bar is too thin, so the fat gripz won't be gripping tight the bar. You can still somehow use them, but it's far from ideal.

Yes when it came down to using them I had to drop down a little in weight do to my body activating different muscles I've haven't really used for stability, bench pressing with them are must!! Over all they've worked very well with any type of bars but I've have best success with barbells and dumbbells. The Gripz are made from pretty durable rubber. I won't recommend using during deadlifts. Also when it came to using easy-curl bars it's a awkward grip I'm not to comfortable with. I personally have not used anything else for forearm strengthening. But I can recommend the manta ray for helping out squats and lunges. Hopes this May help out.

If I'm understanding what renegade push ups are, then yes. You could use them for those. The edges of the Dumbbells are a mild hexagon shape so they'd be flat enough on the edges to do those.

If you already have a bench and a barbell the hooks rest on the barbell bar. Without a bar to rest on it defeats the purpose they were designed for. I use my 7' barbell bar on my squat rack and adjust the height of the bar to how I need the bench positioned (decline, flat or incline). They work great and make dumbell bench pressing as easy as any barbell bench press.
