The long-haired guy has a huge following on instagram and youtube. He does a whole bunch of pretty dangerous/entertaining exercises with heavy weights and seems to have a lot of fun with it. He's actually pretty hilarious. Dead in 10 years though.

I did 225x2.
Was a regular sized dumbbell,full ROM.
If I had access to such heavy dumbells like this,I would have progressed more.
Even the 225 I had to make by using 150 and chaining plates to it.
I believe there is not a single dumbell heavier than 160lbs anywhere in my country.
No gym would buy heavy ones because they entirely make their money from crossfit twinks.

Nice lift,I made a 205lb db and did one arm db rows for sets of 5-8,years ago.did that for about a year,felt so good to row so heavy.made it with a 150 db and 2 tens and a 7.5 lb plate duct taped to each side.Took a whole roll to keep them on and I had to add duct tape every few weeks.

Looks awful small to be a 420lbs dumbbell.

Solid 9" bar by 11" is about 200#'s X 2 = totally feasible.

The golds gym in white bear lake Minnesota had 200's when I lived in Minny with my ex. I was stoked as I'd never seen any over 150 which I was hitting for 20-25 reps b4 I moved there. I ended up getting a clean set of 8. Sadly it was the highlight of my time there living with her. The hardest part about them was that dbells that big are really clumsy to use and I am short while the rack was rather high. Usually the heavy ones are on the bottom row. The rack didn't even have a lower for I believe 150s and up. There were a lot of big mofos there.
I know many golds have dropped the brand. Anyone know if it is still there? This was 14 years ago. They had another up the road in vadnais heights that was newer and more like a 24 hour fitness

That’s awesome,I’ve been looking to buy some big fucking bells and it seems no one can get them.most gyms now have 80s maybe 100s.would love a set of 200s just for shrugs,db rows and fucking around with.
-
Not a row, more of a dumbbell Jefferson lift. I think right now, Kroc still would hold the record for heaviest rowish lift -
He uses #310 at about 8:32 here -
.
Speaking of impressive feats, I saw this posted a bit ago -
.
Monster lift, I think he could probably offer cleanest row with the #420.

Keep an eye on Craigslist. I was watching for some quality mats and came across a gym in this shithole town across the river selling some really good commercial equipment dirt cheap. I don't know what the fuck the owners were thinking buying all new shit in a town that poor and small that a nice gym would ever even get into the black let alone be a money making success. But hey, one man's stupidity is another's gain sometimes.
Happy hunting bro!

Shaw's a beast... Tried to attach some pics of some bells I have, but GB seems to be flaking out w/ shite like this:

LMFAO! ;D
I knew someone would chime in. Kinda put the ball on the tee for you dickheads :P
Seriously though, look at that Matt Kroc pic with the 310. Take five 10lb plates off each side and you have a 200lber. Unless you're like 6'5, it's really freakin awkward. Had I stood it on it's end, it probably would have come up to about my knees.
BTW, since your tall ass is so much better than us midgets; let me know when you can even get a 200lb dbell off the rack with one hand let alone rep it for 8 8) I tore my bicep tendon a couple years ago and haven't lifted since, so I will re-live those days through you when you do. I'll check back on this post in another 14 years. LOL!

Worst row ever.

Furious Pete is the guy talking with the hat on. It's his private gym, and he had the dbell made just for kicks a while back. He also has a competitive eating channel which he does as a profession as well. There's a video of him with Brian Shaw, and he just smokes Shaw.
-
seems a cool guy but has to go on next years death list.
-
Yes it does
The 200lbs dumbbells in my gym look bigger than that.
-
That dumbbell must have cost a fortune to make.
Just picking it up one handed is quite a feat.

Are they solid or plated? I've watched a lot of Pete's vids, and he seems like an honest dude. There is a vid where he showed it for the first time, and I believe even b4 that he had talked about it being made. I think it's 100% legit.
However, that definitely was not a row. Impressive to deadlift 420lbs. with one hand, but it was not a row.

Yeah there was no rowing in that video but the one arm deadlift was badass and the stiff leg was impressive as well.

I was just describing the video's title. I didn't personally claim he actually rowed the dumbbell. This goes for the others in the thread who made the same point you did.

Chao's steel calculation is spot on. A 10 or 12.5lb plate is in the 8 1/2 to 9" diameter range, and they do look to be 11" or so in length, so that would be about a #200lb cylinder per side. Lets say a 30" 1 1/16 or 1 1/8" rod for the actual bar, and you're going to be real close to the #420.
Steel is a bit more dense than cast iron, for instance a similarly size 9" x 11" cylinder in cast iron is about #180lbs. Also depending on the design, plate loaded dumbbells can have lots of dead space.

I know you didn’t just making it clear to anyone who might be stupid enough to think there was a row in there.

Those are awesome,how heavy?
-
Most are shot-loaded (so could be any weight) in the middle pic though, the one to the bottom left is solid, 267 lbs.
Bottom pic is an Inch d-bell...

What's cool with those types of dumbbells is that they're the classic historical dumbbells of strongmen at circuses and early power lifters.

Can you do the Inch lift?

Is the shiny dbell in the middle part of the first pic a replica, or just well maintained? Looks like a lot of old weightlifting history in the rest of the pic. Is this your collection, or just random pics you pulled from the net?

Those are my bells.
The shiny one is a Aluminum Iron Master Dumbbell, I also have a cast iron one. Osmo Kiiha made them (had them made) back in the 90's.
Osmo was an Olympic lifter, had "The Iron Master" magazine as well.
Chaos, I can lift the baby inch (150 lbs) with tacky, but not the full size Inch, haven't used them in many years though. Not really into grip, I just like collectible and/or vintage iron.

Very cool story behind it, and an impressive collection you have going there. I have never heard the term shot-loaded before regarding dbells. What does that mean, or how does it work?
Thanks for answering.

Shot loading is just filling the globes with anything that makes it heavier. Sand, metal, etc. Steel shot is metal "BB like" iron balls.
On the Inch bell lifting, the very thick handle is what makes it hard to lift. (Around 2.5"). The dumbbell just wants to spin out of your hand. Example, on thinner handle and no spinning, I have a 200 lb. steel block w/ a 2" handle. I can lift it easily in each hand at any time. (Thinner handle, no spin). The Inch weights 172 lbs, and its handle (again) is 2.5".
