Yucaipa, Ca. Powerhouse Gym.. Geared toward hardcore lifting but "softcore friendly" gotta keep the ladies happy too.. I'm looking for those 330 pound dumbbells, anybody know where to find a pair?
-
awesome. ::)
-
why the fuck do you want a 330 pounds dumbell ? ???
-
Don't worry sar, we have a section for you too..
-

To hold down the dumbbell rack.
-
the only thing people can do with a 330 lbs dumbell is deadlift it and there won't be a lot of guy who are able to do that

I'll never have to hear, "you guys need to get heavier dumbbells" ;) Worth every penny..

Thats so true. LOL ;D I bitch about that to every gym i go to. Ill look you up and come by. 8)

Go to a metal fab shop. They will mill you a bar to what ever length and thickness you want for those plates. And you select the handles you want migged in the middle. Not that much money invested, really. Our gym had some 220's made, well worth it. I'm sure Redlands, San Bernardino & Riverside has lot's of fab shops. Good Luck.

although I will never in my life and dream that I can possible lift a 330lb dumbbell (LOL), you're a good businessman ARMZ!!
crazy!!!!
-
Thanks guys! I will try a metal fab shop if all else fails.. Even if 330 pound dumbbells sound ridiculous and they collect dust, it adds to the hardcore feeling.. Hell, I even have a REAL vault, a room where the heavy lifting takes place.. Far from the copycat gyms I've been to in the past..
-
Wow, congrats. How much money did you need to start it up? THats so exciting. ANy pics of the gym floor?
-
you have ne pictures of your gym?
-
Man Of Steel has seated curled the 330 pounders if im not mistaken. This was witnessed by fellow members of the squad.
-
Some really strong guys might be able to one-arm press it overhead.
-
Congrats!!

Let's just say I used my real estate technique "leverage" lots of it.. It wasn't easy to be honest.. I'm glad I wear a hat 'cause I think I lost some hair in the process.. I'll get some pics together..

We had dumbells up to 300 at The Gym in Honolulu. And I mean up to, we had every dumbell in between too. Ronnie came in one day and did his set of 300 lb DB rows.

HAHA..MIke, WHat kinda maaaan! WOuld ask that of a brother that just opened his gym and is dying for cashflow and memberships!! Haha.. I would go and pay to work out there, and even give a a signed goodluck $5 bill 8)
Cant wait for the pics, it must be so exciting. Many people thin gym owners get rich quick, but from what i researched, its not like that- its tough and it takes a while, am I right Armz?
Im so happy for you man, thats so sweet!!! 8) 8)

Just curious.....why Yucaipa? The place is definitely a shithole.....not saying your gym is, just Yucaipa in general
-
i bet David Henry could do one arm tric. extensions with that
-

Yucaipa and Temecula are the fastest growing areas in so cal. and has been for the past 3 years.. I've invested in residential real property here and couldn't think of a better place to do it.. All the housing going in are homes starting at 750,000 so it's far from a shithole..
DA posters might help membership sales.. ;)

Armz is one of the best naturals ever. Skip lacour's got nothing on him. 8)

congrats.. u should go all out and make 500 lb db's... :) seriously!
-
why the f**k do you want a 330 pounds dumbell ? ???
Because there's people out there that can actually lift that weight. Good for you "Armz". We need more hardcore gyms around, mind you with a soft touch for the ladies. Good luck with it.

-
Congratulations Ian and the best of luck with it! :D
-
Good to hear. Post some pics when you can.
-
ARMZ, coming from someone who has worked in gyms in the past, I get your joke about the 330lb dbs. There is always some clown who asks for heavier db's, even though they can't properly handle the weight of the ones you have.
Good luck with everything.

I thought you were gonna say He pressed them

Good point! I made the newspaper.. Not sure how good the scanner here works but here goes.. You thought I was kidding about the vault..
-
Hey what paper is that? I live in Highland and work in Loma Linda and was just wondering. Yu-crapa is not that bad of a city just a lot of meth-labs and horses, but other than that it has ridiculous potential. I agree with Armz- he will be in place as the population wave surges forward.
Best of luck Armz

Howdy,
The 330lbs/150kg dumbbells were made by Watson equipment: www.gymequipment.uk.com . They're on the last page of dumbbells.
www.Fractionalplates.com is also good for specialty bar work.

Especially if they're shipped from the UK! That's a lot of weight to be shipping that far.
