Alright, let’s talk about these 50 lb rubber hex dumbbells I’ve been using. I saw some crazy discounts online, like “up to 90% off!” and stuff, so I started looking around. I mean, who doesn’t want to save a ton of money, right? Plus, I was itching to get some weights for home workouts. I’ve been seeing all these articles about the “best dumbbells for working out at home” from brands like PowerBlock and Bowflex, so I figured it was time to take the plunge.
I found a local sports store, Ochsner Sport, that was having a 20% off sale on fitness equipment. Score! I headed over there, ready to check out what they had.
Browsing the Selection
When I got to the store, I saw a bunch of different dumbbells. They had all sorts of weights and styles. I was looking specifically for hex dumbbells because I like how they don’t roll around. And rubber ones because, well, I don’t want to wreck my floors.
I spotted a set of the Spartan Hex dumbbells, from 5 lbs all the way up to 100 lbs. These things were brand new, still in the box. The whole set was 2100 lbs total! I definitely wasn’t buying that whole set, but it was cool to see. And honestly, after lifting these, I was surprised how they actually felt in my hand. They had a decent, solid grip and felt secure. Like I wouldn’t drop them accidentally.
Making the Decision
After browsing for a bit, I decided to just go for the 50 lb ones. They seemed like a good weight for me – challenging but not impossible. I grabbed the dumbbells and headed to the checkout counter. They were pretty heavy, but that’s the point, I guess!
Bringing Them Home
I paid for the dumbbells and lugged them out to my car. Getting them inside my house was a mini-workout in itself. Once I got them inside, I cleared a space in my living room, and they’ve been there ever since. I’ve been using them for my workouts, and they’re great. I’m so glad I took advantage of that sale!
So yeah, that’s my story about getting these 50 lb rubber hex dumbbells. It was a bit of an adventure, but I’m happy with my purchase. They’re a great addition to my home gym, and I’m excited to keep using them to get stronger.
