The Program

I use B.U.F.F. Dudes Dumbbell only training program because their bulk/cut program changed my life!

Why I Chose the Gear


The Dumbbells

I wanted to be able to lift heavy as possible and maintain portability while living out of Airbnbs. The easy conclusion was adjustable dumbbells. The hard part was doing the research on finding the right pair! Durability was my top concern and so for me the 'select a weights' were out. What made Baadass stand out for me was that the ends are flat. Good balance, no need to dodge your head, and sits flat on your thighs. 

Weight of Plate Number (in total)
10 lbs 16
5 lbs 4
2.5 lbs 4
1.25 lbs 4

Justifying a Weight Bench

At the end of the day, having a weight bench just makes all the difference. I chose to got with FlyBird quite frankly because I have shorter legs and the red/black and carbon version was one of the lowest to the ground and very light.
