Edit: process is pretty interesting too if you're into engineering....

He's an arrogant little girl. I hope someone gets a wild hair up their ass, and decides to make a 500Lb bell out of something like #304ss. You  made a dumbbell out of 1018 hot rolled, big whoop. I hope it rusts.

Lincoln used these before his speeches... his 11 inch arms were throbbing with power when he orated to the tune of the Weider principles.

Just as a bit of getbig lore, the giant dumbbell he talks about at the start, actually has some of its roots at getbig -

Yeap, I knew this day would come where somebody beats our dumbbells. This guy only built one, We have a set of 375s..

I was just waiting to see who would beat it and what size.. I will be making new dumbbells that are bigger than these 420s soon..

Stay tuned..
