50 lb dumbbells are pretty legit, just progressively overload with more reps

Try dropping them onto yourself from above. That will make them feel heavier, and you'll hopefully stop asking dumbass questions. Maybe you'll unlock the esoteric ways of 5th grade math, and realize that buying new dumbbells for every weight increment is really fucking stupid.

-Wear training weights on your wrists while you lift them.

-Hook resistance bands to them.

-Just buy more fucking dumbbells. You'll use them, and it's still much cheaper than gym membership.

-And if you ever decide to quit working out, you can resell them and get at least half your money back.

Much less awkward: sand-filled zip-loc bags duct-taped on.

If they're iron:
>magnets can add an arbitrary amount of weight
>rust increases the mass of an iron weight by 10-100g depending on the steel quality
If it's a container with sand:
>put more fucking sand in it?
>replace the sand with silicon carbide
>replace the sand with metal powder
If you have Very Large Hands:
>hold 2 of them

Don’t add weight. Just do movements that biomechanically disadvantage your musculature.

neutron bombardment - if you keep it in a high intensity neutron beam for a duration of time several times longer than the current life of the observable universe, you might gain a pound of material, it just won't be iron anymore.

You can simulate higher weight by getting weaker so the dumbbells feel heavier.
