Or should I just used this as an excuse to convince the boss that I
need a set of those adjustable dumbbells?

Those are horribly dangerous, and nothing whatsoever could possibly make
them safe for use. I wouldn't even let a pet bird in the same room with
those things. You need a new set, immediately, unless you want to end up
in the ER. The adjustable ones are the only ones OSHA approves for
corporate gyms. If you get the original Bowflex ones, rather than a
knockoff, they will also make your penis longer, thicker, and twice as
hard. The knockoffs will serve for muscle building, but do nothing at
all for virility.

Feel free to pass my expertise on to your wife.
