About

Apartment dweller who built a compact test rig to log decibels, vibration, and changeover times for adjustable dumbbells. Obsessed with neighbor-friendly training and efficient storage, I publish comparative rankings that reward quiet, stable, fast systems.

Core Beliefs

Quiet strength is measurable; repeatable data should decide what earns space at home.

Perspective

I favor positive-lock designs with minimal rattle and fast, consistent changeovers.
