If you are looking into purchasing some free weights for your home gym, or just to workout with on the weekends first take a look at an adjustable dumbell set.

Instead of purchasing a couple hundred dollars worth of metal preset weights you can purchase dumbells that adjust to different weight amounts with the twist of a knob. Dumbells that are adjustable look just like your regular everday dumbell set where you would stack weights on both sides then clamp them down then run the risk of injury from falling weights and weight placement. With dumbells that you adjust you never have to worry about weights coming unclamped and falling on your toes, or smashing your fingers in when placing new weights on.

Overall if you are looking into buying some new dumbells and a weight set first take a look at what adjustable dumbell sets have to offer.
