Adjustable dumbbells don't come cheap. They combine several weights into a single space-saving dumbbells, so it makes sense, but the upfront cost is usually pretty high. They're good value in the long run, but not always great for your bank balance.

But this Cyber Monday BowFlex deal crashes the cost of the BowFlex SelectTech 552 dumbbells down to just $379 at Amazon, saving you $170 on some of our favorite adjustable dumbbells.

The BowFlex SelectTech 552 range from 5-52 lbs in 5 lb increments, making them ideal for beginners and advanced lifters. The rubber grip makes them easy to hold (even with sweaty hands) and you get a two-month free membership to BowFlex's workout app JRNY, which has motion-tracking routines designed for these specific dumbbells.

Some of the best adjustable dumbbells are sold as single weights, instead of a pair like in this deal. So the prices seem lower, but that's only for one weight! This could still work for you if you want to add resistance to bodyweight exercises.

But for home strength workouts, you definitely want a pair like the BowFlex SelectTech 552. You can customize these between 5 lbs and 52 lbs in 5 lb increments, and you just need to twist the handlebar dial to change the weight.

We tried training with the SelectTech 552 and were impressed at how easily and quickly you can adjust the load. This is really important, as it's fine if it takes a while to change between sets, but you don't want to spend time messing around with plates and dials between exercises.

Tthere's also a lot of room to grow here too. You can train at just 5 lbs if you're new to resistance workouts, and at the higher end, 52 lbs is pretty heavy and enough for most home exercises.

This deal originally went live for Black Friday, I don't expect it to stay around much longer. It's a huge discount on some great weights, so if you're thinking about it, don't hang around!

When you do reach a plateau though, there's always an upgrade to the BowFlex SelectTech 1080 waiting in the wings. These range up to 90 lbs, and down to 10 lbs, so are extremely versatile, but also expensive: a single dumbbell retails for $400.
