Okay, so, I’ve been wanting to get back in shape, and I figured a good pair of adjustable dumbbells would be a solid start. I did some digging around and decided to go for a set that goes up to 90 pounds. Let me tell you, it was a whole thing from start to finish.
First off, finding the right ones was a bit of a chore. There are so many options out there, all with different weight ranges and mechanisms. I was looking at these ones that go from like 5 to 50 pounds, but I knew I’d outgrow those pretty quick. Then I saw some that went up to, like, 32 kilograms, which is around 70 pounds. Not bad, but I wanted a bit more of a challenge. That’s when I stumbled upon these 90-pound bad boys. I compared a bunch of them and finally found what I wanted.
Ordering them was simple enough. I shopped around, compared some of the prices I found, but honestly, most of the prices were pretty close. I did use some of those online tools to do a price comparison. One was in German, I think, talking about “verstellbare Hanteln” and “Kurzhanteln” or something. After that, I found a site that did a comparison, and I just picked one that seemed legit. Click, click, boom, ordered.
Then came the waiting game. It felt like forever, but they finally arrived. The box was heavy as all heck, let me tell you. I struggled a bit getting it inside, but I managed. I unboxed the whole thing, and they looked pretty slick, all shiny and new.
Setting them up was actually easier than I expected. These ones have this dial system where you just turn it to select the weight you want. It goes from 10 pounds all the way up to 90, in 5-pound increments. Super convenient. You just gotta make sure you hear that click so you know the weights are locked in place. No one wants a weight plate falling off mid-rep, you know?
I started slow, just to get a feel for them. Did some basic bicep curls, shoulder presses, you know, the usual stuff. They felt pretty good, solid in my hands. The grip is decent, too, not too slippery.
- Day 1: Just messed around with them, did some light lifting to get used to the feel.
- Day 3: Upped the weight a bit, still getting comfortable with the adjustments.
- Day 7: Feeling good, starting to push myself a little harder.
- Day 14: Definitely seeing some progress, both in how much I can lift and how my muscles are looking.
Over the next few weeks, I gradually increased the weight as I got stronger. It’s been awesome having such a wide range to work with. I can do lighter weights for higher reps, or I can slap on the big boy plates and really test my strength. It makes the workout more enjoyable when I can change the weights up.
Honestly, these adjustable dumbbells have been a game-changer for my home workouts. I can get a full-body workout without needing a ton of different weights cluttering up my place. And the fact that they go up to 90 pounds means I’ve got plenty of room to grow. My muscles are definitely feeling it, in a good way. It’s been tough, but I can already see and feel the difference. I have made a lot of progress. I’m lifting heavier than I ever thought I could, and I’m actually starting to enjoy working out again.
So, yeah, that’s my story about getting and using these 90-pound adjustable dumbbells. It’s been a bit of a journey, but definitely worth it. If you’re looking to step up your home workout game, I’d say give these a shot. Just make sure you start slow and listen to your body. You’ll get there!
