My friend who owns the gym bought some 62.5kg's 137.5lbers last week. Almost 20lb heaver per DB than the second heaviest.
Had a rattle on them today. Awkward. How people do 200lbers God only knows!

Most I've been to stop in the 120-130lb range, a few to #150. After #150, I can only think of one or 2 that got into the #200 range.
After #150, they're mostly used for shrugs and rows. Once and a while, someone might try to bench them, but seldom succeed.
Biggest bell I've seen so far, was a custom #330lbs one.

My YMCA goes up to 150s.
I'm not sure what "rattle on them" means because I don't speak Irish ;), but from the context of your message, I gather the [almost] 140s were heavy?
With a little practice, a lad as big and strong as you should be able to handle them for flat and incline DB presses. And all natural, right? ;)

im much more hate the assholes that dropp off the 25-60 at the 100+ section of the gym....
-
only 90lb..cause it's a damn fancy gym
-
The power lifting gym i train at on the weekends has up to 160's in 5 pound increments.
Most gyms in this area have 125's max.

160's keep begging the gym owner to get bigger ones he promises but never does

Up to one hundred but it's my basement gym.

It means have a go on them.
These new DB's the handle spacing is much longer than all others in my gym mkaing it much more difficult - the balance in particular but I hope in the next few weeks that I get the hang for them and the reps should increase to 6-8's sharp enough before I start having to work for every rep.
Oh and all natural. Never have and never will take gear or prohormones.
In my gym most will use them for shrugs or rows but a few will incline and one or two will snatch them etc
To the person who said teh 100s-150's in every gym are always lying in perfect condition. True - even 10 or 15lb increments at that weight are fine. In our gym we have nothing from 85's to 110's. There are adjustable DB's but they are a nuisance to make up.

Only option man is to duct tape some 2.5kg plates to each side?

150lbs... its funny every time i go to the gym that whole Dumbbell rack goes from 100lbs -150lbs is perfectly racked looks like it hasnt been moved around in months
at my gym they have two sets of each five lb increment all the way to 150. people use the higher end dumbbells too. highest i've ever used is 105 for flat bench and two arm overhead tricep extension. i have a friend who's a stalky natural (a little chubby) who can bench 120s. has troubles with his shoulders though prob bc of it.
i saw another natural rowing a 130 the other day. the guys in excellent shape, but his form was total slop. his shoulder was all over the place. ::)

Going that heavy does absolutely no good. If anything, people who can do them is just.for show.
-
150lbs is the biggest in my gym. Not a hardcore gym at all. Myself and maybe 2 other guys use dumbbells in the 100 range.

A few years back we had a pair of 100kg (220lb) dumbells in Temple Gym but then one day they mysteriously vanished and no-one seems to know where they went. Maybe they got nicked?
Heaviest dumbells I have physically used for training - 160lbs for shrugs. Would have been able to use more if it wasn't for the above-average thickness of the handles.

200's @ gold venice.
Idiots broke most of the other heavy DB's in the last few years and the New And Improved golds hasn't replaced them. Now there's a pair of 160's, a single 170, a couple of 180's and then the 200's
there used to be pairs in 5lb jumps all the way up to the 200's :'(
-
I think there are some 120s or something but I never visit that end of the rack.
-

People think that they have to lift extremely heavy too get big/build muscle. Thats not bodybuilding, thats STRONGMAN training. I workout at my local rec center, dumbells go up to only 100lbs. New rec center opening up next year in the fall, hopefully itll have better equipment/dumbells.

only a pair of 65's

150's, did some one arm rows with 'em today, no straps.

180 pound dumbbells. But last week I approached the owner and was like, "WTF, 180 pound dumbbells, are you fucking serious?" I then proceeded to hit a double bicep shot and said to him, "Do these arms look like they can grow with the 180's?" He hesitantly said, "Of course not, sir." I responded with, "Im a hardcore bodybuilder and I need heavy iron. Get the 200+ dumbbells or else." Interestingly enough, the next day they had 210 pound dumbbells. Even better, they personally rolled them over for me so I could press them.
-
"Heaviest DB's in your gym?"...210's ;)
-

hell no! getting too old to lift crazy anymore
a huge guy I used to train with tried to bench the 200's and almost tore his pec just getting them into place.
that guy doing 17 reps with the 210s... just crazy strong.

My local LA Fitness only goes up to 125 lbs.
Most hardcore gyms I've worked over the last 25 years max out at 150lbs. Anything higher than that usually has dust on them.
