Tried to get innovative since all gyms are closed. I have pairs of 50lb, 40lb and 25lb dumbbells at home that I always used as a last resort in case I missed a gym session. Turns out a pair of dumbbells and zip ties can be your best friend when wanting to utilize heavier weights than the dumbbells themselves. Few notes:

1- Make sure the tensile strength of the zip ties matches the application you need it for
2 - No matter how tight they are made by adjustment, I found they still are not ideal for dumbbell chest workouts because there’s still some imbalance, and that’s not something I trust with a chest workout. But for dumbbell squat workouts these have worked great for me
