Does your Gym have a pair of these?

[Mr Nobody]

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

Only person I can think that could use them is Goodrum

[SilverSpoon]

I thought most of us Getbiggers have to use those for lateral raises so that we can't use too much weight for overhead press???

I can try shrugs with these. that's all they can be of use to me. I can't stand barbell shrugs, it kills my shoulders

[The_Punisher]

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.

the manager at that Gym looks like he's been in the Gym all his life.....lol. I'm sure he knew what works.

[chadstallion]

we have those at my gym but they are covered in dust

best answer yet!

[NarcissisticDeity]

I just join a new Gym in my area and I was full of joy when I spotted a pair of 200's in the weight room. the Manager told me that he has a few meathead in the Gym who've been complaining for years to upgrade the dumbell Rack, and the manager, being the smart man that he is, Listened to his customers...hahahahahaha ha.........$43/month basic membership aint bad.

Yup and mother-fuckers use them too !! 

[CalvinH]

No only 120's ...up tp 150's would be perfect for me.

Cool, though I would have a hard time just dead-lifting them...

[Meso_z]

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.

as if he ever manages to unrack them, let alone do "shrugs" with them

I came to this thread expecting tits.

Here you go

if you can do barbell shrugs with 405lbs, Grabbing a pair of these 200lbs dumbbells won't be as easy.

[Krankenstein]

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!

Animal House is a hell of a nice gym.  Nothing like it near me in the NW burbs of Chicago

Ya that gym is awesome.  The only gym that seems decent here is Golds in Gurnee..that is close anyway.  Near my work everyone talks about Chuck Sanow's gym being a good gym.

Who cares, you'll never even come close to lifting them, in your whole life.

[Deadpool]

our gym goes up to at least 150's and I haven't seen anyone come near them to use

Exactly, I rarely see guys go over the 130's, and when they do, it's the fat powerlifters using them for shrugs.

[Deadpool]

back in the 1970's my Uncle could do the 100's and that was a big deal.  the former World's has like up to 150's I think they removed the bigger ones...or use them as doorstops

[funk51]

yeah but does your gym have these.

[mar10s]

Is Flex Gym still around? 

I heard of it but don't know if its still around.  Is that in Kenosha?  The 2 better gyms that I knew of in that area (Milwaukee) were Animal House and The Brickyard.

[Bob Bonham]

we go up 250's  one says Ron and the other Coleman

I don't do shrugs and I'm a long road from being strong - what would be interesting to me is grabbing them and see if grip strength is suffice to just hold them...

[The_Punisher]

it's not about lifting them, Bozo. it's what you can get out of them.

[The_Punisher]

your ass must be weak as hell if you can't press a weakling 130lbs dumbbells. get some Equipose......

[Captain Equipoise]

Hhahahahahha...ok 'tough guy' if dumbell's aren't for lifting then what would you use them for !?!

self pwnage right there..
