hex dumbbell

No way, it’s a pair of hex dumbbells! Their six-sided heads help stop them rolling away—unless they’re trying to escape leg day.

That grippy rubber covering is shaped in a mold using heat and pressure. The six-sided mold is basically a very serious cookie cutter—no frosting, just gym gear!

The rubber gets its shape, but a dumbbell also needs a sturdy handle. In a metal shop, a machine presses tiny grip patterns into a steel bar—those ridges help hands hold on, not go on a surprise flight!
