Credit: Amazon / Lifehacker Table of Contents 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 had 9+ months of regular use with both (plus intermittent use by my now-16-year-old, 6-foot son), and both still look and feel brand new. The dumbbells can be adjusted in five-pound increments from 10 pounds all the way up to 55; the bench can lie flat or be adjusted at eight different angles, including a decline position. (Plus, they match, if that sort of thing is important to you.)I was admittedly skeptical about how the padding on the seat of the bench would hold up over months and years of use; I've pre-emptively addressed that by adding a blanket to the seat when I use it, but it's likely not necessary. 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. What do you think so far? If you live in a small home but want to create a little weight-lifting space for yourself, I highly recommend both of these products—especially while they're on sale for October Prime Day.
