Always have something in your gym just outside of your reach, or something very far outside your reach. Thats what my 350lb bag I’ve made out from an old zip up duffle bag someone tossed my way. The make up of this bag are 2 heavy duty trash bags, a couple of zip ties, and a lot of duct tape. It is a fat, dense, log of sand. I left the handles on it, but I’m afraid they’re not going to survive. As of now I’ve used it 2 or 3 times for a silly little Between the legs deadlift. Eventually, I will get it to my shoulder. It’s either this bag or myself that will break.

Older model here that did everything you need it to. It doesn’t connect to the app or anything fancy, but who needs that? I got this for 350 on FBMP, and the guy had it neglected in his garage for a minute. Initially, when I used it, it was dusty, the seat squeaked and the chain pull was crunching on the inside. A little bit of oil on the rail, a wipe of a rag, and cleaning out the fan, and she was humming. It was 6 easy screws on the fan shroud and a vacuuming of leaves, spiderwebs, and dust. It’s a great tool with a low entry point to get going on it.

I'm broke, but I'm happy I'm poor, but I'm kind I'm short, but I'm healthy, yeah I'm high, but I'm grounded I'm sane, but I'm overwhelmed I'm lost, but I'm hopeful, baby And what it all comes down to Is that everything's gonna be fine, fine, fine 'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket And the other one is pinching a horse stall mat gripper

Sort of hard to rate performance on a cheaper accessory piece. The best use case for these are an easy birthday/Christmas present for friends and family to get you when they don’t want to spend a wild amount of money, and you don’t want to feel guilty for asking. They are small and unobtrusive enough to live on your rack or wall control if you will happen upon them every other blue moon. The plastic doesn’t feel cheap, you don’t have any sharp edges from the molding, and the texture provides just enough grip. I put them in the category of cheap ab wheels and wrist rollers where there’s definitely some better options out there, but you’re not missing much.

The aggregate score around 3.00 is fairly warranted. In the long run of it all I would say the dial system saves the performance side of this dumbbell. They got it mostly right at the beginning. It’s easy to adjust and feels good. The rest of the market left the behind tho. But that doesn’t mean it’s not a half decent product. I got these for free from my FIL. The dimpled knurling is annoying and painful, but I imagine it is an upgrade against the rubber one it comes with. I would throw a curveball and say I would recommend these if you have no other options and they come across your FBMP for crazy cheap, or if they have it on sale at your local Target or Dick’s Sporting Goods.
