dumbbells
Handheld exercise weights
Dumbbells are handheld weights used for exercise, consisting of a short bar with a weight at each end.
They're lifted repeatedly to build strength and muscle: She grabbed the dumbbells for her arm workout.
The name comes from an older device for practicing bell-ringing that made no sound—a "dumb" (silent) bell.
By extension, a dumbbell is a stupid person.
