My Favorite Adjustable Dumbbells and Weight Bench Are Both on Sale for October Prime Day
Earlier this year, I explained how a Christmas gift I'd bought my then-15-year-old son—a set of adjustable dumbbells ($255) and an adjustable weight bench ($59.49)—had actually gotten me to stick to a steady lifting routine for the first time in years. And now, for October Prime Day, both are on sale, and the dumbbells are even cheaper than what I spent during last year's Black Friday sale. I've also caught my son as recently as two days ago dropping the weights to the ground as though he was standing on a padded gym floor, rather than a 100-year-old cement basement floor with unforgiving carpet, and they survived the abuse.
