I've been avoiding buying a set up dumbbells because they're so damn expensive. All types of lifting weights are priced, roughly, at $1 per pound. That is fucking insane and stupid. I assume that it has a lot to do with transportation expense.
What I have been intending to buy are the following dumbbell weights:
10 lbs x 2
20 lbs x 2
30 lbs x 2
It's a pain in the ass to change the weight on adjustable dumbbells in the middle of a routine. Additionally, the cement weights that I have at home are so large that they inhibit my range of motion and prevent me working on improving my form on several exercises. Also, I'm short a couple 10 lbs plates from what I would need to increase weight on the shitty dumbbells I'm using now.
If I bought six solid, one piece, hex barbells in the weights above from Walmart, it would cost $110. That's a lot of money for a cheap bastard like me and I don't want to have to worry about selling those or moving to a new location with that weight.
So I did a little research...
- Walmart accepts returns within 90 days of a purchase for anything other than entertainment media and some tech products.
- The P90X program lasts 90 days
...not only that, but according to their website, you don't even need a receipt to return something for store credit! God I love Walmart...the only downside I see here is that I'll have to keep the UPC stuck on.
