Probably pisses the gym owner off because that bends db's as well as sends them bouncing onto someone's foot.
But some people need to create as much of a racket as possible when lifting to draw attention to themselves, so carry on.
There is definitely some truth to all that, but guys are posting videos of them repping 150s with great form and your response is to cry about them throwing the weights. It just makes you look jealous crybaby either way, like they guys complaining about Larry Wheels 500x12 video because they were "half reps". If your going to tell them "learn to lift", post your vid repping the 150s and setting them down nicely.

If you can gently put the dumbbells back on your knees to rerack them than you could’ve done more reps. Just lol at not training to failure cause soy boys like you get offended at loud noises

lol these. Pushing to failure with 150's takes a ton of energy out of you. Not easy to just gently rest them back on your legs and sit up after that. Now, I do hate when people just fling the dumbbells to the ground and watch them bounce and flip over. That's ridiculous, but a controlled drop from the bottom of the rep position is perfectly normal and acceptable.

I refuse to read all of this fkry but OP clearly trains at Curves or Planet Fitness if he see's nobody benching 85lb dumbells. Hell I saw a bull dyke tossing around 90's the other day but she wasn't natty at all... She obviously had more knowledge of cell tech than 99% of the twinks in there

I usually put them back on my knees. I think in my heavy vid, I controlled dropped them. Hate it when people throw them and yell.

Any tips for actually lifting them up when going to lay down? I can bench 250x5 but when it comes to dumbells I'm not able to raise them up to lie down lmao.

You sit upright on the flat bench and have the dumbbells resting on each knee, as if about to perform seated calf raises. Then you lie back swiftly, making sure to keep the dbs nearly resting on the chest and then proceed to perform reps.

i lift at home, but would never throw my weights on the ground. i dont want to break anything, especially because my weights are all inside.


on the topic of this thread, 85 lb dumbells for reps on flat bench aint sh_t. and average size of gym members really depends on the gym you go to. ive been to gyms where every fukn dude there looks like hes been taking cell tech for years. no doubt those guys could rep way more than 85 lb dumbells.

Because of the misc, I've begun to realize that not only am I the weakest guy at my gym, but I'm probably the weakest guy in the world.

After I do barbell bench I generally do 5x10 with the 180s for volume.

The 25lbs increments between the dumbbells st the higher weights at my gym makes doing more problematic.

I can lift the 220’s and do 5 reps but it is very taxing getting them in position and just not worth it for volume.

So 185 isn’t that impressive Op.

150lb dumbbell in each hand? For what dumbbell chest press? You don"t look like you can do that, but...then again...

I quit the gym for months and I’m skinny as phuck now (170lbs at 6ft tall) and even I can get the 47.5kgs (105s) on flat dumbbell bench, I do get weird looks though because I only see roiders doing this weight in the UK

Doubt they're "roiders", bud. After many months to years of consistent training, it is not too difficult for a natty to work with 100s and above...

Wasn’t claiming they’re roiders because of the weight dumbass, I just never see anyone doing anything over 40s in my gym unless they’re huge (it is a commercial gym though)

Hundos aren’t that bad mang. True though I don’t really see any one in the gym I go using heavy dumbbells. Do see a ton of heavy half rep bench. Basically zero squatting.
