The Best Heavy Adjustable Dumbbells (24kg+ UK 2026)
If you're past the beginner stage, you'll want adjustable dumbbells that go heavier, typically 24kg per dumbbell and up, so you can keep progressing on presses, rows and squats without buying a second set.
What to look for
- A high top weight (24-40kg+ per dumbbell) with headroom for progression.
- A secure locking mechanism that holds heavy plates safely.
- A robust build and, ideally, a stand to lift heavy weights off the floor.

Frequently asked questions
Is 24kg enough per dumbbell?
For most home lifters, yes, for a long time. Strong, experienced lifters doing heavy dumbbell pressing may eventually want 32-40kg, so buy with progression in mind.
