I'm about to buy a dumbbell set from 20kg to 40kg for my home gym. So far I've only worked with a barbell. Which grip is better: Straight or round?
>>
>>76997873
I would vote for the contour.
>>
>>76997873
I can't stand the rounded handles.
>>
>>76997873
Straight handles suck

>>76997873
Straight handles are best
>>
>>76997913
>>76997925
>>76997927
>>76997935
why?
>>
>>76997965
Cause I said so. Plus, they are stinky.
>>
They make dumbbell handles that take Olympic plates

Found an example on google
>>
Straight, unless the contour fits your hand properly which is unlikely given most dumbbells have thin grips; in that case it will just be clunky
Unless you're a woman or manlet with small hands that is, but you're not under 6'2 I presume? If you are then ignore this reply altogether because I refuse to engage with leprechaun sub'humans'

straight niggas vs gay niggas

I almost got a pair of these but then I realized I'd need another set of <45lb plates if I want to use both at the same time. They're surprisingly expensive too, then again adjustable dumbells are stupidly expensive.
>>
>>76997873
contour/curvy handle actually feels worse for me and hits my calluses even harder than straight
I have big monkey hands so I assume the contour is made for smaller handed individuals
>>
>>76997965
Go fuck yourself that’s why.
>>
>>76997873
How much?
>>
>>76998266
Straight handle 1 600€ (incl. shipping)
Contour handle 1 440€ (incl. shipping)
>>
>>76998320
That's a lot. Have you considered a loadable o adjustable dumbbell
>>
>>76998333
>buy once
>cry once
Only financially multicultural (the poors) and retards resort to cheap alternatives
>>
>>76998556
>he thinks greater cost is synonymous with quality
I don't know why you're even asking which is the better grip, the prices speak for themselves lol. Make sure to put premium in your Maserati.
>>
Contour handles are cheap chink shit. Straight handles are thr best and they are found on every single high end dumbbells.
