Hi Bad b’s! Wanted to share my dumbbells acquired off Craigslist today 🤗 and a little story.

Had been in the market for heavier than 15 lbs. I’m so excited to have these bc they can scale from 10lbs - 30lbs each depending on the amount of plates. $35 for effectively 3 different sets! And can also use just the plates for other weighted exercises.

I got them from a man named Oscar. He has been lifting since he was 17. Looked like he was 40. Shocked to learn he will be turning 60 soon and retiring! Walked out carrying these like they were nothing. Told us he used to curl 100lb dumbbells. 😆

He has won many comps as a weightlifter and in martial arts. His 2 boys won national and global awards in wrestling & judo. I imagine these dumbbells have been through a lot with him and his children. He still wrestles and lifts with them today, they are adults and he has 3 grandkids now. The fitness community is so wonderful! He was still so full of passion, mobility, zest for life, and whenever I meet someone like him, I tell them they are my goals for how I want to age.

I feel like these dumbbells have been anointed with his impeccable vibes, very excited to use them for the upcoming strength program! There is so much amazing secondhand fitness equipment, would def recommend Craigslist or FB marketplace if you’re looking for anything. :)
