Only in mere weeks!? Get outta here, you alpha male you! And when you them, please be able to do them on your Leer Jet, while in the air, while in a hurricane, which will destroy Florida, which in turn will break away the US, which in turn will issue the US demise. True Getbigger Style 8)

If my ballys gym had some of those im sure their would be some tapout warrior doing 50lb DB presses on the bench next to it or even better some brutal crushes in front of them ::)

Unless you're on heavy doses of AAS and have been for years stay the fuck away from those.  First of all they are real awkward and you will probably sacrifice all good form trying to do anything with those.  Also those are just a hernia or a  slip disc away from being out of the gym for months.

The only thing I would ever consider those for would be DB shrugs or deads.  Maybe some one arm tricep kickbacks.......kidding.

you don't use them, so what difference does it make if they have 200 lb dumbbells

Ya, the gym I use to go to in Milwaukee's had them.   I think the only person that used them was Art Atwood when he use to workout there.  Otherwise nice dust catchers!

Can you imagine how freaking hard it would be just to unrack and rack them again.  Most gyms I've seen that had these just had them on the ground under the rack because even the strongest dudes couldn't rack these by themselves.  This gym is looking for someone to sue them the day they try to unrack these and they tear their shoulder joint out or pinches their finger right off.

I guess even a newbie could rack those. 200lbs isn't so much for 1x1 deadlift... otherwise useless, maybe for chemically modified monsters.

You could get really fat and try side pressing them like Anderson:

 ;).

Even thought most will never use them, it's kinda sweet going to a gym that has all sorts of bars, strongman equipment, etc.... It's shows that the owner's do care about people getting strong, etc..... instead of just buying another treadmill or something.
