Have to remember that Darksol is working out at 24 Hour Fitness, not 24 Hour Serious. Most of their business (and it is a big business) is geared towards people who just want to get into some form of decent shape. BB'ing is farest from their minds. Or most highschool aged kids who are stroking it most of the time they are there. They do not have a clue as to what lifting is all about.
If Darksol is doing benches, inclines or DB rows, than he has hit the wall so to speak. Unless he try's the one and one half system, Pre-exhaust, SS, Quad set, etc for awhile. But than again, those all have certain limits. Those fitness centers have high insurance rates and they are more or less in the CYA mode. Heavier DB's could give greater odd's of injury to some folks. Though many injuries are to the toes or feet, regardless of the weight of the DB (when you drop a weight, please try to get out of the way when it falls).
Darksol may have to look up a better and more serious gym for training. Also might ask for a couple of sample workout to see if that new gym fit's all his needs. Most smaller gyms will let him do that. Good Luck.
