Heaviest Dumbbell's in your gym?

[Lizard King]

Last gym had every 10lbs through 200, only got up to the 150's for flat bench. New gym 120's but they are the rubber coated ones, bounce pretty bad when you touch them together for chest or shoulders.

I wish my place had something over 150's! You guys are all lucky to have something bigger. I found a set of 160,170 and 180's for $1500. I told the gym if they bought them I would drive 8 hours to get them. Haven't heard about it since. Considering our place is an Olympic training facility I would expect more.....

Here is all about health and safety. Considering going to join another gym because of it

My gym has DB's labelled to 150, but that is the plate weight only (80's have four 10lb plates on each end, 100's have five 10 lb plates on each, etc.) so they weigh a bit more with the bar and hardware included.

I'm guessing the bigger ones are at least 5 lbs heavier than labelled.

Heaviest I have used is the 125's for flat DB press and squezzed out a few reps.

You don't need DB's in an Oly training facility. What they need is Eleiko bumpers and training bars.

My gym goes up to 150 I believe. I haven't went above 120's yeah but I plan on trying them out. They kill my quads before I go back for flat bench. They have like little knobs that stick out on the heavier DB's and all that weight just rives them in my legs.

lol nice, at the CF gym? Me and BI were talking about DB's at CF gyms earlier in his log. I guess you guys hit more kettle bell stuff rather than DB?

Yeah. No shrugs, curls, tricep extensions or any of that stuff going on.

I'll throw in any extra db work I want at home. Those go up to 60. It works.

Cool man, I digs. It's cool to see how many different methods we can use to train our bodies.

Only up to a measly 100 lbs :l bullshit. Still manages to be the best gym in my town for the price (9.99 a month gold's gym express) The college I was intending here has a pretty nice gym but year round membership for alumni is something like 400 bucks.
