I have Dumbbells up to 90 pounds, but that just doesnt cut it. Does anybody know a good place to get dumbell handles that you can put over 100 pounds on and be able to add weight to if I want to do 110, 120 , 130? I guess also where to get the correct weights for it too so I dont use my barbell weights.
You can find someone who has an account with Troy or Cap Barbell. They have handles and plates they can sell you for dumbbells. I believe they can up to 125 lbs. I believe Troy will sell you some handles without being a dealer. This might have changed. If you need bigger handles for heavy weight than I can have the handles made for you. I have a picture of the dumbbells that I built on my website...www.fitinphilly.com...check them out

They look pretty heavy duty and something I am definitely looking for. I would rather go with something that could handle over 125. How much do handles like that cost and is it something I would be able to change the weight from week to week?
Check out the York Barbell Company. They make really good equipment, I have some from the early 80's and they still work great, no rust.
If you go with York than spend the extra money and get the handles treated with black oxide. They will last a long time that way and not bend.
