Instead of storing and lugging around heavy dumbbells at home, utilize the leverage of a dumbbell extender to get the same workout with a lighter load. The extender is an aluminum sheath that straps to the back of your forearm and continues another 65 cm (26 “) to a snap-lock grip.
For example,
pick up two 3.5 kg (7.7 lbs) dumbbells with the extenders, and doing curls will give you the same workout as using 10 kg (22 lbs) weights. Many other weight lifting movements, such as pullovers, flies, extensions, kickbacks and lateral raises, can be enhanced with dumbbell extenders to train the chest, back, shoulders and arms.

Maybe if you give it a snazzier name, they will come. Try to include the words "BEER" and "SEX". That always seems to pique men's curiousity. |
|
| |
you know *these* things, Forny? |
|
| |
They're words that seem to get men's attention...I think. |
|
| |
Okay, the weights can be beer cans and, um, the sex can be ... er, never mind. |

Nice idea (ish). But the 'gorillas' in the gym won't give anyone any credit for lifting a 'puny' weight:
"That weight is tiny!"
"Its on a lever...that makes it much harder to lift"
"But the weight is so small"
"Yeah but... its the same principle as a crowbar, but in reverse. You are having to move the weight over a longer distance."
"But the weight is so small"
"You do the same amount of work!"
"Hah...I lift twice as much as that"
"I give up..."
"Hah! He gives up at half the weight I do! That make me er..3 times a strong!" |

That's verbalizing what I feel when I'm lifting half as much on a cable pulley as another is lifting on a combined pulley. |

I hate to tell ya [farmer], but you would then have smartbells and they could eventually take over the world. |

I thought this would be about a counterbalancing weight to picking and placing of heavier dumbells without full arm extension. Your idea is interesting, ¯Farmerjohn, and it takes me back to pressure washing, one of the most physically demanding jobs I had. |

Could it sell? Uhhhh, nah. |
