How many lift at gyms with DBs that look like this?

Yeesh that place must be a dump

I’m lucky to see DBs over 90. Most gyms are lacking in that regard.

If it's over 50, I could not care less.

50s are normally a 1st warmup set on most lifts for me.

Every DB here over 95 has a warped handle. The 120 I showed pales in comparison to the others.

I’ll round them up and get a pic for you to interpret the message wrong again.

I've never seen that before. I have a gym that some go to 180.

Looks like dropping them on the ends.

dude, you broke the wall

Fricking gospel and it's usually on DB flat bench. Dudes just let them go and half the time they aren't even doing full reps. Lots of pure lifting gyms with a good meathead as an owner/manager will let you get by once with dropping them. The next time you are generally on the street with maybe an arse beating.

I had a jack arse doing flat bench the other day and he dropped some 80's right next to me. It actually startled me since it was loud and I wasn't expecting it. After he got up I casually asked him if he wouldn't mind stopping at 70's so he wouldn't drop them next time.

sure you did buddy

One of my buddies used to work at a gym in south Mississippi and he said they had to start charging members for bent weights. He said one year they went through at least one set of 80-120 pound weights from meat heads just dropping them after the set. Those DBs aren’t cheap.

If you can’t control it on the way down you probably don’t need to be lifting that much

Honestly I’ve never seen those type of hex dumbbells at any commercial gym. I’ve always seen and used the ones that can be tightened and repaired if damaged.
