  You can adjust the weight of the dumbbells by adding or removing issues.
  Or changing magazines. Try pumping Vogue.

  For the LRB I suggest 'Literary Russian bells'. (Although Literary Russian belles might be preferred by some.)

  Geoff Roberts says:
  Now why are they called dumbbells? This looks as if it's a good way to recycle magazines, but books would be better on account of the density. There are an awful lot of MEGAs (Marx-Engels Gesamt Ausgabe) around that would find new life when used as dumbbells, but Marx might find that objectionable.

    Bob Beck says: @ Geoff Roberts
    An example of alienated labour, do you mean? Or reification?
