Rubber Dumbells

[CyniQ]

My gym (Gold's) just put in rubber dumbells. They have the "ergonomic" aka humped handles, and big rubber ends. I hate these things. I like to do DB incline presses, with these, I click them together at the top and they bounce apart. I'm gonna tear a pec with these things.

Did get some other new equip though. 4 new Smith machines. Whoopty fuckin doo. I don't think we have a gym for straight men in this town. I feel an entrepreneurial venture coming on.

Where do you live bud? I could probably find a hardcore place for you.

and thanks. Although my wife is trying to talk me into joining "Lifetime Fitness" a new foo-foo gym in our area. $100 a month. Ahhh. Women... I can't say any more than that without getting in trouble...

If you know of someone or someplace I would love to hear about it. Thanks again.

Yeah, we got those stupid rubber ones at the Gold's I go to about 5-6 mos ago, they such, but you will get used to them

Not only do they bounce off of each other, but they are not as dense and are therfore more bulky

My gym has these as well. I hated them at first, but have since got used to them. Hey, at least when they upgraded, they went to 120's. I asked the owner when we was getting 140's....he said "this isn't that kind of gym". LOL

Serves you right for clicking them together.

Dude. We've got 150's now. Which I don't know why I think that is cool, since I don't need them yet. But still.

and Bob... It's very important for me to click them together so I can FEEL the pump, squeeze, burn, etc. "yoamsayn?" [with apologies to Grizz]
