Who uses 150lbs dumbell for

[fistfullofsteel]

Forgive me, but how in God's name to get the thing up over your head? And then how do you get your shoulders from tearing out of the sockets. I use 90's and I thought that was a little too heavy.

you can have somebody from behind hand it to you.

I did 120 the other week for 14 but shit I would be hard pressed to do 150 with strict form and full range of motion.

Reverse French Curls(i think that is what it is called) The over the head tricep exercise where you sit down and raise your arms above your head with the dumbell with both hands on the dumbell and then you bring it down behind your neck.

You get the idea, so who uses 150lbs?

One arm at a time or two?

If you're talking about Tricep Extentions I can probably do 150...I'm not sure because our gym only goes up to 140 DBs.

a. they are called french presses

I thought french presses were the same thing as nosebreakers/skullcrushers????

When brian747478' and I used to do them...we would set a 25lb plate on top of the 100 and do them. We would also duck tape weights to the dbells to make heavier ones to do one arm rows with.

I just returned from the gym. Did my shoulder workout. I used 115's for my dumbell presses. 10 reps. I see more people there use more, but I think I use the strictest form. Body tight. Butt and mid back pressed into the chair. Bringing the dumbells all the way down until the outer bells touch my mid delt. Pressing upwards and bringing the bells together at the top for a touch.

I find that fairly impressive.Do you mind me asking what are your stats?

I can get get 95's for 6 at the moment but 115-120lbs would be a future goal of mine.

I'm not playing. It just comes naturally.

well then, naturally take your clothes off and send me the pics or meet me at a central location so i can judge how naturally it comes off.
