Hi everyone...I'm looking into buying some dumb bells and I was hoping you good folks could give me some suggestions. The seemingly great brands like Power Block or BowFlex costs an arm and a leg and I don't think I need something that fancy. Does anyone have suggestions on affordable dumbbells that I can possibly adjust myself? Looking into $50-$100 range for weights that can hopefully go from 5lbs to 50lbs. Let me know!

I liked the idea, but like you, found the price to be ridiculous. Keep an eye on craigslist and you can probably get a set of hex weights and a rack for around 100-200.
regular dumbbells run about a dollar a pound, so getting a set of regular 50 lb ones will be about 100 bucks, therefore adjustable ones won't be that cheap.
for the price range you should try to decide which weights you really need. http://www.academy.com/index.php?pa...ight_sets&start=0&selectedSKU=0422-41168-3000 goes up to 30 but then you will be screwed on the 50's. If you need 50 then u are screwed http://www.academy.com/index.php?pa...ight_sets&start=0&selectedSKU=0422-41168-0055 Of course you could always go old school and get the actual bars and keepers http://www.academy.com/index.php?pa...ight_sets&start=0&selectedSKU=0422-00621-0110
This. I believe my 30 lbers from academy costed me 55-60 for the pair. About a dollar per pound sounds about right.
