Heaviest dumbells in our gym are 220lbs - they say 100kg on each so same thing I guess. Massive fuckers they are and I can't even be bothered trying to lift them both at the same time.  :-\

Did you see the fear in his eyes?  You have to see the fear in his eyes for it to be authentic...

The thread is pretty pointless as most of you fairies couldn't lift a 55lb db to save your life.

No offense.

yeah last week i had to train back and i wanted to start off with some heavy db rows. anyway when i went to the dumbell rack i saw that someone took the heavy db's away. turns out that some old fart is using them to do side bends or something. i already felt the blood rushing to my head and said no way jose, im not gonna wait for some old fart, i have a grappling class in starting in 60 minutes. then the guy said he was going to complain to the gym manager. i IMMEDIATELY grabbed him by the throat and screamed as hard as i could right in his ear: I NEED THOSE DUMBELLS YOU LITTLE SHIT!!! he then said that i could use the dumbells and i never saw him again. see i'm not a violent guy at all but i just can't stand injustice, then i get really angry.
anyway what would you guys do?

I think you handled it very well.  Polite and to the point.

  • I hope I'm not boring you.
Depending on the width of the 25lbs plates in your gym, just buy a single or pair of olympic dumbbell handles. You should be able to fit #200-225 on one.

After a certain point, it's probably best to change to all barbell work.
