Talking, calculating dumbbells doesn't help that meathead stereotype

Sorry meatheads, you had it coming. If counting up to 15 and keeping track of sets in your head is a bit too much, it's okay, there is always room for technology to step in and compensate for that inability. These talking dumbells include an LCD display that will visually and digitally keep track of reps and sets. And if that wasn't bad enough, a speaker that will audibly announce the count for you.

The dumbbells are weighted by the user with water. The display adds a little bit of extra functionality by keeping track of calories burned, workout time, lifts per minute and more. A pair of these sell for $18.99, and if you do decide to indulge, please use in the privacy of your own home, for the sake of my sanity at the public gym.
