Ok I was defining this differently. My apologies.
Just had a guy drop/throw his dumbbells and it was a total douche move.
Me dropping from an inch off the ground I don’t think was the point of the thread.

This guy in the gym right now

The only time that I will drop weights is when I am doing flat db chest press.

The over weight fella who sits on pec deck seat while resting his phone on is large protruding belly and watches whatever…

Burning calories with eyeballs while burning other peoples’, who wait for pec deck, time.

Because you aren’t strong enough to handle the weight you try to lift.

Isn't that the point of lifting weights, to you know get stronger?

This is what it looks like when I "drop the weights" after 12 reps at 115.

that damages the dumbbell. That's how handles get bent. It's really easy to just put those on your chest, raise legs and then swing up.

deadlifts are going to be loud if you are lifting heavy even if not dropping from the top


I'll judge anyone negatively that finishes a deadlift at the top and drops it from waist high. That's ridiculous.

A drop of less than a foot will bend the handles?

Less than a foot probably not, but that's not what the video showed. What it showed was dumbbells eventually getting damaged.

This will always be number 1. Videoing yourself working out is absurdity.

Not me in the video but my height, weight and bodyfat percentage are on this board if you know how to use the search function.

judge away, there are people doing different phases, may be a concentric only phase or they are trying to manage systemic fatigue and the eccentric portion of the DL hurts that big time.

point is.... you dont have a clue why they are doing something

Managing systemic fatigue? Bro come on. Yes I'm sure the 405 deadlifter needs to worry about the eccentric portion of his lift
