    Default Dumbbells....

    Our gym has dumbbells up to 200# which is what I'm used to, but I went to another gym the other day because I was in a hurry and needed to get a workout in. Anyway, they only went up to 110# and when I used them to bench it seemed like people in there had never seen anyone use them before. I don't think it's that impressive at all, but it got me wondering if that was normal for "fitness clubs" or not? And I consider the fitness clubs to be the ones that are either national chains or ones that have plenty of tvs and top 100 music playing that feel more like a soccer mom's escape haven than a gym for bodybuilding

    Most gyms i've visited top out around 120s. All of the gyms i've called "home" go up to 200 though.
    I'll make him an offer he cant refuse.

    That's basically how I am. I don't use up to 200, but I've used up to 150 for shrugs in the past, but that was it
