While other gyms are taking their big dumbbells out to hopefully get rid of the minority (bodybuilders) in hopes to draw more of a "less intimidating" crowd, I continue to bring in the real iron..

I've never even been to a gym that had a vertical leg press.

Shit man, it's damn near impossible to find 5 lb plates or even collars where I work out at sometimes.

Everything is just about the god damn bottom line now a days.....Do you really think some investor who lives miles away from some of these "gyms" even gives a fuck about weight training?

they are safer, good for them, gym's like these should be outlawed, looks like a torture chamber and it is just begging for people to get injured with such huge free weights, no need for anything over 75 pounds.

I thought about getting a pair for my house. Do they feel any different than the regular dumbbells? Any balance issues? I have used them before but it's been a really long time.

Uh, a 200lb DB is about 18". Double that would be 36"!?  Is that right?   :o 
Title: Re: Got more dumbbells in today.....................
Post by: BB on May 30, 2009, 01:15:54 PM
36 -38" sounds about right for a 400lb. DB. Figure 5" for the grip, .75"ish for each plate, plus a little for the end caps/nuts

Arms, you should find one of the Inch replicas* to complete your dumbbell fetish:).

Nice gym.

Finding a new hobby might be a good idea as well.

lol you lift with your ego i can tell how you talk.  I can lift 75 pounds no problem, but my goal is not to become a power lifter.  You know the bodybuilders that lift like power lifters, ex kamali, coleman, they look like shit and have injured themselves.

I say we get a group of guys from the GB board, set a date, and hit Gold's Gym in Venice to see who can do the most reps with the 200lb dumbbells on flat press.

Any takers for a day of fun in the sun at the Mecca (Firehouse too, of course).

We can have Big Ron come down and take some pics.
