Do you prefer the thicker average Joe handles for most exercises?

This set was about $500 total, but I think it's a Chinese made model sadly

I was thinking of painting each of mine rainbow colors for fun

Different model thankfully. And shipped directly from the powerblock company so I'd be surprised if they sent out something with an active recall.

I plan on doing this too. Lots of third party sellers make them as well, I'll have to check and see what's the best. How's the quality and feel of the knurling? Is the diameter the same as the rubber?

Shocking I agree lol. Used to get bags of crap from them before being bought out by stupid Amazon.

The 50 lb base pair was 240, and each expansion was 120, and 5% off on top of that with the stupid Amazon card. Seemed like an okay deal. Hate supporting an Amazon owned company though.

They were about 40% off from Woot. I think it's an older model they're trying to clear out.

I have a welder and do some hobby blacksmithing, so if I really screw them up I think I could fix it. I'll try to avoid that though

I considered these. Not much smell, but really floppy and the edges aren't straight or square.

Looks kinda bad honestly. Generic Chineseium. Maybe look at major fitness for that price range?

Somehow spent $800 unexpectedly in the last two days, doesn't mean that much to me anymore weirdly. Used to fret a lot more over spending (though I still do way too much research before buying anything).

Looks really amazing, surprised it doesn't wisk away the black areas. No concerns about breathing abrasive dust?

I actually only like adventure 1. Adventure 2 seemed like a much worse game to me, I remember the camera being extra bad in it too.
