Which dumbbell to get from Rogue

 

My personal favorite is the   Rogue loadable dumbbell  as it combines space savings with good design. For a big gym, you probably want to go for the   Rubber hex dumbbells, unless you want to go fancy and get a full set of the   Urethane version. If you are a strongman competitor you will find a good option in the   Thompson fatbells. The   power block  is, in my opinion, an outdated design unless you really have no space available whatsoever.

Can you do Stronglifts 5x5 with dumbbells?

 

Stronglifts can be done with dumbbells except for the back squat. Therefore I prefer adjustable kettlebells for doing Stronglifts at home as you can replicate all movements. Ideally, you rethink why you do not want to do Stronglifts 5x5 like it was intended. This article walks you through and -you can contact me via pascal@marathon-crossfit.com for questions.
