the only thing people can do with a 330 lbs dumbell is deadlift it and there won't be a lot of guy who are able to do that

Go to a metal fab shop. They will mill you a bar to what ever length and thickness you want for those plates. And you select the handles you want migged in the middle. Not that much money invested, really. Our gym had some 220's made, well worth it. I'm sure Redlands, San Bernardino & Riverside has lot's of fab shops. Good Luck.

Thanks guys!  I will try a metal fab shop if all else fails.. Even if 330 pound dumbbells sound ridiculous and they collect dust, it adds to the hardcore feeling.. Hell, I even have a REAL vault, a room where the heavy lifting takes place..  Far from the copycat gyms I've been to in the past..

Let's just say I used my real estate technique "leverage" lots of it..  It wasn't easy to be honest..  I'm glad I wear a hat 'cause I think I lost some hair in the process..  I'll get some pics together..

We had dumbells up to 300 at The Gym in Honolulu.  And I mean up to, we had every dumbell in between too.  Ronnie came in one day and did his set of 300 lb DB rows.
