Bowflex SelectTech dumbells serve their purpose for most movements, but leave a lot to be desired. They are oversized compared to standard dumbells of the same weight which often limits range of motion. The weight adjustments often jam or fail completely making it annoying to adjust at best and dangerous to lift overhead at worst.

I upgraded to the Nüo Bell 5-100 series from the Bowflex SelectThech 10-90s and have been very happy with the decision. The newer models have metal plates and while they still shouldn't be dropped, the seems sturdier than older models. The price is great for the weight range and it's very easy to adjust the weights quickly. The first weight plate in the rack is easy to knock over when putting the dumbbells back, but it's a minor inconvenience. One of my favorite qualities is the size. Many other adjustable dumbbells I've looked at are too bulky or shaped in a way that make using them ineffective. The Nüo Bells feel much more like a traditional dumbell.

The Valor Fitness log is a good budget log for for home gym users. It gets the job done and comes at about half the price of some other brands. Some of the cost savings seems to come from thinner materials so it's likely to dent easier and should only be used with crash pads. The rubber strips around the handles also feel like they will peel off, but that won't affect functionality. Overall, I'd recommend this for home gym owners looking for a decent log at a reasonable price.

The drink spotter chill is a handy unit and an absolute steal for the price
