The new one in SA. Unfortunately, it’s quite dead.

Thats fucking crazy…170lb DB…were they super huge or compressed?
The ones at my gym are HUGE…like hard to balance and do full ROM cause.

Yeah… Loading anything up greater than 120s is practically a suicide mission when you’re alone. Full range of motion (no lockouts). When I hit those 170s, all i can say is fuck! Definitely needed a liftoff.

I used to train a gym that had dbs that went all the way up to 300lbs, Kroc style. They got absolutely massive in size, took two guys to lift some of the heavier ones into position for the beasts that were strong enough to use em. Note, the heaviest ones I ever saw used were by a semi-pro bodybuilder whose name currently escapes me, did 200lbs for 4-5 reps.
I’ve trained at Bob Bonham’s gym in Jersey several times over the years. Lots of Pros in and out of there. If I recall correctly, they have a pair of 250 pounders sitting on special supports, with Big Ronnie’s name on 'em. I figure no one else can actually lift 'em -lol.
S
250+?? Dayum. Fucking dumbell longer than my forearm!!

I read this as he sustained an injury doing the lift. I don’t see where it says anything about training through an injury…

You are right! I heard a crunching noise in my right shoudler. I took 3 weeks off and got an MRI to make sure it wasnt a rotator cuff tear. After icing daily and staying away from inflammatory foods i started off light and easy in the gym. Its been over 2 months now and my shoudler is all better. Though I am very cautious about things and extra mindful of form, even more than i was before the injury. To be honest, the 3 weeks off I feel I needed anyway-Im a former powerlifter and since returning to the gym i have made huge gains in hypertrophy and my shoulders actually feel better. So the glass is half full for me in this case. But, maybe Ill stay away from the heavy dumbells, I hate setting up with them…much more of a barbell kind of guy! LOL
savagenation that’s really impressive

Lay on the floor and “bench press”. It limits your ROM to hit your pecs pretty hard.

exactly this
IME, perfect isolation on the chest without risk of shoulder injury
I found this kinda interesting: I just got access to a new gym not too long ago (school) and the DBs go up to 150. However, everything over 115 is on the floor under the DB shelves and literally covered in dust/cobwebs haha. Ive since dusted a couple of em off.
My best set is probly somethin like 125s for 10 or so.
