My YMCA goes up to 150s.
I'm not sure what "rattle on them" means because I don't speak Irish , but from the context of your message, I gather the [almost] 140s were heavy?
With a little practice, a lad as big and strong as you should be able to handle them for flat and incline DB presses. And all natural, right?
It means have a go on them.
These new DB's the handle spacing is much longer than all others in my gym mkaing it much more difficult - the balance in particular but I hope in the next few weeks that I get the hang for them and the reps should increase to 6-8's sharp enough before I start having to work for every rep.
Oh and all natural. Never have and never will take gear or prohormones.
In my gym most will use them for shrugs or rows but a few will incline and one or two will snatch them etc
To the person who said teh 100s-150's in every gym are always lying in perfect condition. True - even 10 or 15lb increments at that weight are fine. In our gym we have nothing from 85's to 110's. There are adjustable DB's but they are a nuisance to make up.
