It's not bad but I can still seesome problems with lifting the dunmbells off the rack - your wrists are twisted a tad and could get injured and once the dumbells are off the rack it looks like they could still bang into the apparatus. I may be wrong though and the makers have already thought past that.  :-\

Against.

Inspires laziness.  For more than a century, man has been picking up dumbbells from the floor and returning them to the floor at the completion of a set. 

Besides, what if you're 1-1/2 inches off on the re-rack?  I foresee many hand injuries.

A potentially very dangerous piece of equipment.  A fatigued lifter could encounter problems.

Just another poorly thought out fad.

Idea is ok - design is flawed!

When you grab the dumbells your putting your shoulders at such a weird angle that it forces them to be in impingement. It's like losing and arm-wrestling match really bad!

Also
what about the guy that is exhausted after his set, if he misses the rack     watch out!

I had a couple of short racks made that stand about 14" off the ground. We use them for floor presses.

I had the dumbell spotters when i bought the TITAN,the only problem is you have to set them a little bit behind you so that you don`t hit them on the way down,which makes it awkward getting the dumbells into place.You feel like you have to press then pullover in one movement.Plus,when you put the dumbells back,you have to guide them perfectly into place or else you catch your hand on the spotters.You have to do this one side at a time,so as you put one side back you feel unbalanced.

Definitely worth trying, could be very helpful. That caveman stuff about lifting it yourself is laughable, ij'm sure those guys use racks for barbells. I'd be glad to direct more effort to the set, thanx.

Well it is actually twice the size of Queer Vissy.  Vince uses it whenever Vissy is on the rag.

On a serious note (well the best I can do) I was looking at the piece of equipment the thread is about.  I thought it is a good idea but like I think someone else said if someone is doing heavy dumbbells there may be a chance they are going to have a hard time putting them back into the racks and could possibly pinch their wrists.  I was thinking about getting one for my gym especially since I love dumbbell work.  I am still on the fence.  And yes it is a thck fence and it can hold me,

Milos was endorsing a piece of equipment like that awhile back. Not sure what happened, if anything at all, but it was similar to the first pic posted.

There is a guy in HAwaii who invented these hooks that go on the dumbbells.  They worked pretty good and only cost $20 a pair

if you are not strong enough to pick the dumbells off the ground yourself get them into position and press them then you are not srong enough to use them properly.
