    i've always been a fan of the hex dumbells, they may not be 'hardcore' but they always feel good and i dunno, just better imo.

    Maybe they should have added pics to go with the choices.

    does it really matter as far as the feel of the dumbell???

    if it were me, working out at home, I would buy something at least rubber on the outside... cushion the fall at least a little if you drop them.

    pro-style are the dumbells where you get a certain number of plates,depending on what weight you want...then put them on to the bar...these are then "fixed"-by tightening them with a allen-key! they are then-"fixed"!
