Back by popular demand, the "Legacy" dumbbell is a recreation of YORK's Solid Round Dumbbell originally cast in YORK BARBELL's own foundry. The "Legacy" dumbbell features fully knurled, solid steel, thick-grip 33MM handles. The handles are slightly shorter than the original Solid Round Dumbbell decreasing hand travel on the bar allowing greater control and bio-mechanically correct movements.

Handles are hydraulically pressed creating a "fishtail" steel handle end. The handles are then permanently embedded in the heads by pouring molten iron around the fishtailed ends of the thick-grip solid steel shaft.

York provides a similar product but only with the contoured handles. These highly reflective and attractive dumbbells make a BIG visual impact. The knurled chrome handles are ergonomically contoured to fit comfortably in the user's palm. Smaller handles graduate up from a 25 mm grip to a 35 mm grip for increments 20 lbs through 50 lbs. Solid steel heads ensure maximum adhesion of the bright chrome finish making the dumbbells ultra resistant to chipping, cracking or peeling associated with most iron head versions. The heads are hydraulically pressed onto 35 mm handles

 

Professional dumbbells are made up using chromed handles (straight or contoured) and the correct number and size of plates. The quality of the handles can vary dramatically.  Poor quality case iron handles have many issues but the most problematic issue is the loss or stripping of the treads at each end of the handles. This is most likely a result of the dumbbell being dropped and the impact causes the hardened Alan head bolt to tear the soft treads of the wall of the bolt holes in the handle.  Once this occurs, the handle is useless and must be replaced.  This can be an expensive proposition.

Both York and Gympak product quality chromed handles that do not have this type of issue.  I have replaced a tremendous number of other brands for many disappointed customers

The plates added to the handles can be: simple black painted, grey powder coated, or rubber coated plate. Both of our supplies, York and Gympak supply high quality plates for this application

Medial Grip Rubber Coated Pro Style Dumbbells

A snug-grip improves balance and reduces hand / forearm fatigue. Perhaps one of the most ergonomically correct dumbbells on the market, YORK's Pro Style Dumbbell features a shortened, fully knurled, 33MM solid steel handle resulting in less hand travel and optimum control. Soft, non-metallic shoulders at either end of the bar cradle the hand ensuring a snug grip for improved comfort, balance and reduction in hand fatigue due to over gripping. The dumbbell heads are comprised of solid steel inserts fully encased in virgin rubber. The solid steel handle passes through the steel insert and is welded, permanently joining the head to the handle.

The virgin rubber coating increases durability, protects flooring and equipment, enhances appearance, diminishes noise and is easy to clean.

 

YORK's Pro Hex Dumbbell is an economy dumbbell with plenty of special features. The softened edges of the dumbbell heads improve paint durability and adhesion by lessening the likelihood of cracking and chipping often experienced with the sharper edge hex heads. The knurled handles are ergonomically contoured to fit comfortably in the user's palm. Handles vary from 30MM grip for increments through 20LB, increasing to a 35MM grip for increments 25LB through 100LB.

Handles are hydraulically pressed creating a "fishtail" steel handle end. The handles are then permanently embedded in the heads by pouring molten iron around the fishtailed ends of a thick 35MM solid steel shaft improving the strength of the head / handle joint.

Standard straight handles are also available.
