In this real world use demo I used clips from a "heavy" incline dumbbell workout to see just how long it takes to change weight out using IronMaster Adjustable Dumbbells. I consider anything over 80lbs. to be heavy.
The answer, for me, is 50-60 seconds if it's a weight under 90lbs where heavy handles are used and around 90 seconds to swap out the short screws for the long screws and change the weight to anything over 95lbs.I believe these dumbbells are the reason I began lifting heavy weights again. I would have never gone out and bought every little increment of weight from 70-110lbs.
That a ton of massive dumbbells that get used infrequently. I get all of that from this little box of metal in my home gym. So I deal with that 1-1.5 minute issue.I will say I believe it's necessary to have many if not all of the increments of 5-50lbs as separate dumbbells. IronMaster adjustables are not good for small weights. Way too much time waste. I use small weights so much faster than the big ones. Also, true drop-sets are really impossible.
