i am matthew hennemeir, an amateur lifter in my thirties who kept putting off gym signups. once the latest membership card gathered dust, i knew i needed real equipment at home. the answer was a chrome adjustable dumbbell pair that covers everything from warm ups at 4 kg (8.8 lbs) to heavy rows at 41.5 kg (91.5 lbs).
this space is my running diary of small wins: early morning lifts before logging into work, stretching the heavy sets over the weekend, and keeping track of what actually works. if you want all the gritty details on the adjustable dumbbells themselves, the full review lives on its own page.
