Would wiping equipment before use be good enough or would it not matter ?
Cool, just purchase the 90 model online.I'm using the 50 model and they are really great, changing weights on the fly is super convenient. There are some restrictions though due to the form factor, a lot of exercises requiring two hands on a dumbbell becomes problematic, you might be able to find a good grip, but most of the time it feels awkward and unsafe. I just do them at the gym instead, not worth getting injured. But for the rest I find them perfect. The amount of space you save is so worth it.
Yes. I just recently bought a bunch of extra weights for my bar, and I fabricated a squat rack at work so I can squat at home. Desperate times..
I live in Seattle, was going to my work gym on Capitol hill but switched to the anytime my girlfriend goes to by where she lives in Des Moines (small suburb south of Seattle) because I work at a public college and we just switched to full closure this week. Mostly use barbells but was already wiping down equipment with disinfectant pre and post use and now I even use hand sanitizer between sets to be extra cautious and actively avoid touching anywhere near my face. The anytime I go to now has about 50% the foot traffic my work gym has, which is like 5-10 people max and makes me feel a lot better about continuing to go despite the circumstances. If working out from home was an option I would rather do that but I have nowhere near the space or setup to lift some heavy ass weights lol
Gyms still not closed (San Francisco) but I have a feeling that it's coming.

Exercise studies, including Nieman's and many others, show that regular, modest exercise boosts immunity, and lowers your risk of infection. That's the good news—and the reason so many scientists believe that running and other regular exercise is a healthy, body-strengthening activity.
On the other hand, hard, continuous, long-effort exercise like marathons and ultra marathons can lower your resistance for 24 to 72 hours, and lead to increased colds and respiratory illnesses for a week or two. Too much exercise volume and intensity turns the corner on the J—and your risk of infection goes up.
Abstract
The notion that prolonged, intense exercise causes an "open window" of immunodepression during recovery after exercise is well accepted. Repeated exercise bouts or intensified training without sufficient recovery may increase the risk of illness.
Abstract
Exercise has a profound effect on the normal functioning of the immune system. It is generally accepted that prolonged periods of intensive exercise training can depress immunity, while regular moderate intensity exercise is beneficial.

The analysis of 22 studies reveals that human coronaviruses such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) coronavirus, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) coronavirus or endemic human coronaviruses (HCoV) can persist on inanimate surfaces like metal, glass or plastic for up to 9 days, but can be efficiently inactivated by surface disinfection procedures with 62-71% ethanol, 0.5% hydrogen peroxide or 0.1% sodium hypochlorite within 1 minute. Other biocidal agents such as 0.05-0.2% benzalkonium chloride or 0.02% chlorhexidine digluconate are less effective.

You picked up one of Jigsaws discarded blueprints? Can't imagine the justification for this in a living room with weights on each end.
Would something like this work better?
Anyone got good grip strength exercises? I can shadow box, job and hit a heavy bag in my garage but I'm worried about losing ma gains at the climbing gym
Nope, there's a gym in my building and I'm the only one who uses it, lucky for me.
