Thread: How many of you dumb F^*ks slam your weights down?

If I'm doing flat dumbbell bench presses with a really heavy weight then I will drop them because i wouldn't be able to sit back up with them. I really don't see the problem with that. However, you said "slamming" the weights down, now THAT i do not do.

Now thats just semantics but you understand but like you said you have to let it go or youll just be stuck there. And dont confuse this with Drop and Triple drop sets.

I fucking hate when idiots drop dumbbells!

Yeah, flatbench dumbbels for sure. Im not interested in a torn rotator cuff. What other weights could you slam. Deads can be a little loud but I wouldnt say I see anybody slamming weights on purpose.

It pisses me off when I go in the gym and there are dumbbells scattered all over the ground. They have enough energy to rep them 12 times but not enough to put them back. That chaps my ass. And when they leave the bar loaded on the bench presses and squat rack. Fuckin lazy assholes.

lol..it annoyes the shit out of me as well when people drop dumbbells and even throw them down...attention whores...lol...a messy ass gym gets to me as well...

When I do flat bench with heavy or any dumbbells, after I'm done with my reps/set and while I have the dumbbells locked straight up...I bring me knees up and push the weight towards my knees and it lifts me right up and off the bench...

Slamming weights down seems to be a very subjective term these days. What I call dropping, some might call slamming. If I have 405lbs in my hands doing dead lift's, occasionally I will need to drop the weight. If I am doing dumbbell presses with 120lb dumbbells, I am not going to rip my fucking arm out of socket setting them down to please a bunch of crybaby vaginas.

the problem is dropping 120lb dumbbells can and will bend and can even break them, explain that to the gym manager/owner and see how it goes over with him/her.

deadlifts are different, you're not going to break the plates or bar if you drop it on the floor.

If u bring the dumbbells parallel with the direction of your body on the last set while bringing ur knees and the ends of the dumbbell together the momentum will carry you back up to the starting position, with u sitting erect on the bench and the dumbbells resting on your knees. No need to throw weights, you'll look professional like you've lifted heavy weights before!

I slam the bar down when I am doing doing curls in the squat rack

only if I reach failure....but dropping and slamming are two different things.

My two and a halves barely make a sound when they hit the floor.

Great topic....I hate it as well. Some little guy with a big ego sets up next to you....starts throwing around the 60 lb dumb bells....and throws them down to show is manhood. In the meantime.....one flies forward, bounces...and almost busts the mirror and I have to move to get out of the way of the other. Some people are at the gym for reasons other than lifting hard and getting results. I don't get it.

Weak guy using light/moderate weights... DO NOT drop them b/c you'll look like that A-hole that you are.

However, as some people already mentioned... at a certain point you HAVE TO drop the weights. Now there is a way to do a controlled drop with dbs so that they don't go bouncing away from you.

Deadlifts, the weight is meant to be dropped under control...try working slow negatives with a deadlift and see how fast you get hurt.

As far as people not putting their weight away, now that SH*T really irks me... I've always noticed that the biggest, strongest, and "fittest" guys tend to put away/re-rack their weights. It's the "other guys" who don't this same laziness is probably one of the main reasons why they are the "other guys" envious of those surrounding them.

my 2 cent...

This works very well, I do the same thing.

If I hit failure with 240-280lbs of weight in my hands, I am dropping the dumbells. So you can kindly place your mouth on my cock parallel to the direction of my asshole.

At my gym, all dumbbells over 40lbs and all plates over 25lbs are insulated with hard rubber. The free weight area is all floored with rubber instead of carpet or concrete under the equipment. Also, I am talking about dropping a weight no more than two and a half feet off the ground. If music is playing, you can't even hear it. By far, the cable pulls are louder than me dropping a dumbbell. No one has given me dirty looks, and the manager is a chick with nice tits who smiles and says hello, so I am pretty sure that no one is taking issue.

My 10 pounds dumbells don't make too much noise.

I would love to see one of you douchebags tap Jay Cutler on the shoulder and ask him not to drop his dumbells when he's finished with them.

How do you know he does? He might drop them but not slam them down. I think he's a lead by example kinda guy IMO

I've never had a problem with that weight, maybe ur lifting too heavy? i dunno... You may be the only A**HOLE in the gym but your not the only person, you ought to be respectful of the people around you.

Some of those hardcore places are kinda meant for that. Like those who use 45lb chains placed around their neck for dips.

I am extremely respectful of the people around me, maybe even to extreme measures. I consider my gym a temple. I rack my weights, clean up behind myself, don't grunt, and don't start pointless conversations with other people there. But, in situations that involve the health of my already deteriorating joints, I am going to drop a weight. Only two exercises involve me doing this, only on days where I train lower rep range, and almost always only on my last set.

By my calculations, this turns out to be a whooping 4 times in an entire month. So grow up, and stop being such a fucking pussy. I think you should consider joining planet fitness. You will fill right at home with the rest of the not big crybabies.

"Oh no, some mean man just dropped a weight, sound the alarms whoop whoop whoop!"
