Im probably going to get some adjustable dumbell handles soon for some home training, but whats the biggest olympic plates i can realistically put on them with out it being awkward? Im thinking its either 5 or 10kg…
If its an oly DB handle I’d say it depends on the exercize your doing; 10’s would be fine for DB row (as long as there were lots of 'em) but piss poor for DB Bench.
sorry 10s as in 10kg or lb?
As in kg (RTFQ! LOL).
I agree completely with Old Dax. I’ve used 10kg plates with DB handles (as an aside, I find fat grip handles more comfortable than regular handles) for rows, and they’re fine. I tried doing the same thing with bench and it was far too cumbersome.
I do floor press rather than bench (don’t have a bench) and find the 10’s to be no problem. Your mileage may vary.
I floor press using 15 kg plates. No problem. Curls are another story though.
