Always liked the dumbbells that were plates like the GPI, ivanko, pro style ones, I hate that majority of all gyms now  use the solid block looking ones like LA fitness and 24 hour fitness

Exactly. I’ve got the silver plated Troys in my garage

Dude..   :D Arnold was juiced

Of course he was. Now it's chemical warfare. They don't even look human with their soft bloated muscles.

In 50 years they're gonna think of the 2020s as the "golden era", telling themselves how great everything used to be back then, hope this helps...


It won't exist in 50 years if things don't change.

Mike was secretly in love with Arnold and very upset that Arnold was in love with Franco.

Same here.. I hate the Hex ones, or "ergonomic handles" and not a fan of most solid rubber ones (unless they have a good handle).
Pro-style assembled with the plates are the best...

 Aesthetically, I like the cannonball style, but for utility, the pro-style are hard to beat.

That is actually the only one I have. I have a buddy who I trained with and he was a ft worth fireman.Back in the 80s they were tearing down the old fire station downtown and they found a pair of these.They gave them to my buddy because he was a power lifter and he gave me this one as a souvenir for helping him train for a meet.

We had a pair of 80`s at he old YMCA but the 65`s, though both solid were different shapes..........the others were all globes up to the 100 pounders.

I remember as a kid watching Dave Mastorakis use the 100`s with plates tied onto them with nylon cord.  :D

I collected vintage equipment for 25 years or so... I still have some  York and Jackson globes, but recently sold off a ton (downsizing).

I recently sold some pairs of Jackson 70's (for 1K) and some 50's (for 1K) etc... The collectors are paying big $$ again for them..
