These things are nuts. Built my own stand using leftover Titan mass storage parts because I wanted something I could easily wheel out of the way. Pretty happy with the results.

PepinxRep collaboration incoming as per their Insta and Facebook. This is melting my mind and seems so unexpected…can’t wait to see the price.

Total gut punch if I had waited a month to order haha

[–]Minban [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yeah, but you will have had 6 months of gains and the weights will be paid off 💪.

[–]RogueCrusher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those are da 💣 You need to start manufacturing your stand it looks sick and fits the ruggedness of the dumbbells.

[–]Berapap 0 points1 point  (2 children)

They look sleek. It doesn’t look like you can do skull crushers with them though.

[–]Scared_Suggestion_55[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do two handed skull crushers with my curl bar and no problem using these for single arm skull crushers

[–]PizzaMonster93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like single arm skull crushers would be fine. That’s actually my preferred way of doing them, too.

How do you like the Pepin DBs?

[–]Former_Preference_14 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Do you like the dumbells?

[–]Scared_Suggestion_55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love em, insanely durable, really well made. Quick to change weights, and actually like having the side rails as another hold point for different moves (e.g. overhead tricep extensions)

[–]swolebird 0 points1 point  (1 child)

What's the hooks for underneath?

[–]Scared_Suggestion_55[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keeps the cradles in position - couldn't find an L bolt at my local Ace so was the second best solution for now.

[–]FrenchSilkPieGuy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Your DIY stand looks way better than the stand Pepin sells for those. Nice work!

[–]Dr_TattyWafflesMod Team 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That stand you built is insane!!! Really nice work, love how it turned out

[–]cjeffe10 0 points1 point  (12 children)

Very clean. Holding out that Rep’s will be around 1000-1200 but if not, these are a must.

[–]pepe_silvia_12 [score hidden]  (2 children)

85# pair starts at $900

It’s expandable so i just bought the 105s 🫡

[–]iDriveTesla [score hidden]  (0 children)

I pre ordered the 105s too!

[–]Chronic-Lodus 0 points1 point  (8 children)

Yeah, excited to see what rep comes out with. Currently I think these are the best but the price is so high, unbeatable tho. Just waiting for the perfect 5-100 adjustable dumbbell that’s durable.

[–]cjeffe10 2 points3 points  (7 children)

And just like that, Rep announced an hour ago they are rolling them out next week! Excited to see what the range is. I have their db storage for the rack and I’m curious if both the QuickDraws and the new ones would be able to fit on it and out of their cradle. I’m thinking 5-30 QuickDraw for the wife and then the 120s (hopefully)

[–]rattata24 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Where did they announce it?

[–]rattata24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, hope this release is solid. So many options out there they need to have both a good price and high durability.

[–]Minban 1 point2 points  (3 children)

I am waiting to see what Rep has in store, but I am guessing next week’s update is just a rehash of their Christmas joke, but for April 1. Hopefully not, as I would insta buy if they are 1200ish.

[–]FitChemE 1 point2 points  (2 children)

They verified that it is not an April 1 joke.

[–]Minban 0 points1 point  (1 child)

That’s great news. I was leaning towards it not being a joke, as I received an email from Rep mentioning them also. If it did turn out to be an April’s Fools joke, Rep was going hard.

[–]FitChemE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if it was an April fools joke, there would be no advance notice. I think they told us a week early, so we knew it would be legit.

[–]SkinwalkerFanAccount 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These look so good. But they cost more than my entire homegym combined.

[–]liftyourlifecoaching 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty clean looking!

[–]Sunburned_Ghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dying to see the construction time lapse photos on that stand…super impressive!!

[–]Emergency-Anteater-7 3 points4 points  (4 children)

Ive been debating between these and snode ad80. The pepins are my first choice i am just having a hard time justifying the price.

[–]OkayJuice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the snodes and the magnets aren’t too bad

[–]Scared_Suggestion_55[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I had the same debate but didn’t like having magnets on the end to hit 5lb increments. These are the nicest piece of gym equipment I’ve come across.

[–]Emergency-Anteater-7 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Thats my thoughts exactly. I currently have 50lbs power blocks and they just arent heavy enough. There are things i would do in the 80-120 lbs range but most stuff is below 80lbs. But damn they are so nice.

[–]Scared_Suggestion_55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I had/have the 50lb power blocks too. 120 seems like overkill but thought they might be great for RDLs and deadlifts. Time will tell but felt like it was worth just getting the 120 over the 80

[–]XrayZachBasement Gym 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love the stand, nice.
