You aint kiddin! I just grab it and stand over them till they are ready. These guys are monsters though...last time I did it he started pressing while I was above him and he lifted me clear off the ground...thats a strong mother f'er boy :eek: . Thats like a 300+lbs bench on one arm!!
 
My previous gym had 140s. My new gym only has 120s.
 
Actually mine has 140's, not 120's like I thought. Still too light for my lateral raises.
 
115. Not bad for a health center. I've never used dumbells over 95.

in hs our coach use to make the rb's and qb's practice with db's :D
 
100's...i can do the 80's for about 3 reps of flat db press...lookin forward to those 100's one day...can't wait to grab those bitches.
 
Wow I'm SURPRISED about the response - I Thought MOST gyms would go up to at least 150.

We have 1 pair of 200 and 2 pairs of 180
 
The new dungeon i've joined where true monsters dwell, they hit 200. Seen some of the fellas press 180 so far, but i'm nooooooo way touching that. I think i would physically break my arms doing those.
 
The old gym I went to, which is also a health fitness type, they had 110's which a fair few of us could use for the usual presses and rows etc. Didn't I see a photo of Mudge the other day hammer curling 100's though?
 
The dumbells at my gym go to 120 lb. but the owner got these ones you can turn into 165. The olympic weights fit on these bars(3 25s on each side. There very bulky to work with.
 
My gym goes to either 130 or 150, can't remember. The reason most gyms don't go above 85lbs is that above that point the insurance rates jump. That is why the Ballys' in this area don't go higher than 85.

Never thought of that. Probablyt explains why my gym only goes up to 85. They've even got a sign on the wall telling people who need higher weight to use the Cybex machines.
 
300's. I usually do hammer curls in my sleep with them.

how much do the cybex machines weigh?

I dunno, but it kind of pissed me off when I read it. Anyone with any knowledge knows that machines aren't as effective as free weights. The sign is in response to a letter someone wrote requesting heavier DBs. The letter is posted there too. Sometime this summer I plan to dump the place and sign up at Golds.
 
200s

I've seen 2 guys use them for presses. I've used them to Farmer's Walk, One-handed Deadlift and to do sidebends for my core(PLEASE DON"T REVOKE MY ACESS TO THE SITE!!!). :D I tried walking lunges with them and after doing three, I thought my knees were going to explode.
 
160's. They didnt have these until about a year ago when a few of us guys kept harping at the owner to get some bigger bells. We were shocked when he bought the new bells 110,120,130,140,150's and 160's! HE was shocked when some of us could actually press those things!
