View Full Version : Do you drop weights MadMatt 06-27-2005, 11:27 AM You are lifting very heavy with DBs. Please vote MARTYUSA 06-27-2005, 12:26 PM I used to drop em, But no-one has the common courtesy to look before they step. So now I have to rest em and rock my-self and place them on the deck. I hate the friggin YMCA. Granite-Dawg 06-27-2005, 12:30 PM I drop'em... T-Bar 06-27-2005, 01:27 PM LMAO, perhaps the post was writen with a slight amount of bias??? You either drop weights which means you train hard, or you are a total sissy. Nice choice. Needsize 06-27-2005, 01:32 PM Ya kind of set us up on this one. No, I do not drop weights at my gym they will through you out if you do. I have to rock them back down no matter the weight BioHazard03 06-27-2005, 01:35 PM LMAO, perhaps the post was writen with a slight amount of bias??? You either drop weights which means you train hard, or you are a total sissy. Nice choice. touche' :yeah Doug_N 06-27-2005, 03:21 PM To biased to vote. Like T Bag said! cmwings 06-27-2005, 04:10 PM I drop them on my heaviest sets but,only after I feel like I am so tired that if I lower them slowly I am risking injury.At that point I drop 'em like an anchor! :eek: CM MadMatt 06-27-2005, 04:22 PM LMAO, perhaps the post was writen with a slight amount of bias??? HHahahahaa :) :) Demon 06-27-2005, 04:30 PM I can drop them only when my muscles are completely shut down, the last set. I consider clanking weights and dropping them a lack of control. And I hate skinny ass posers who do that. D D.K. 06-27-2005, 04:50 PM I drop them faster then a mean turd! lmao. if the gym didnt like it then no one wouls train there. the whole place is rubber coated as well as the dumbells! later T-Bar 06-27-2005, 05:58 PM Looks like Doug, Marty, and I are the only ones who can handle our weights! LOL, don't worry boys. You'll get stronger after puberty. postpremium 06-27-2005, 06:00 PM LOL, don't worry boys. You'll get stronger after puberty. then what's your excuse??? :yeah post Korean&Proud 06-27-2005, 07:14 PM then what's your excuse??? :yeah post haha! I drop em about half of the time. especially on the sets to failure. K&P fishtownflexin 06-27-2005, 07:37 PM I dont drop them.........but the main reason is because they are my weights :) Chest Rockwell 06-27-2005, 08:10 PM You are lifting very heavy with DBs. Please vote So how heavy do you go on DBs when doing military press and incline? Adrenaline 06-27-2005, 08:27 PM LMAO, perhaps the post was writen with a slight amount of bias??? You either drop weights which means you train hard, or you are a total sissy. Nice choice. hahaha... i was thinking the same thing. MadMatt 06-27-2005, 09:33 PM So how heavy do you go on DBs when doing military press and incline? 120 is my best for delts. 100s suffice though. Inclines, 120 because its the heaviest we have. Most of the time I dont do DBs for chest Why do you ask? postpremium 06-28-2005, 12:24 AM Why do you ask? sounded like a pissing contest... :pisser: post MadMatt 06-28-2005, 01:10 AM I guess. Thats how I do things at the gym I work out at. What really annoys me is that some cant just let it be- I mean comeon - the guy was doing wierd shit with 35 lb dbs and some really strange stretches. I certainly wouldnt interfere as he put on a good show Chest Rockwell 06-28-2005, 10:17 PM 120 is my best for delts. 100s suffice though. Inclines, 120 because its the heaviest we have. Most of the time I dont do DBs for chest Why do you ask? Just curious since you asked the question. If I was using those weights I'd set them down gently on my knee, too. haha MadMatt 06-28-2005, 11:04 PM Well Chesty, I refuse to do that! Id rather drop em than waste the effort! Ok, ok ok! Guys, I'll confess! I have a fused L1 section in my back - which stops me from effectively bringing my knees up to meet the bottom of the DBs. My rotators are on thin ice at times. Bottom line is that its just not worth it for someones sake of silence! lol I wouldnt let em fly if someone was in harms way but Id rather let go. I am not a bodybuilder. I do DBs as a break from press behind the neck. Im more than happy with my size but I have a quest for strength. I am limited because of my back :( So I can't do all the powerlifting exercises. Its kind of my own thing. PS. I'd drop em even if my back was perfect LMAO BigJim77 06-28-2005, 11:07 PM I drop them... no says anything to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Korean&Proud 06-29-2005, 01:19 AM I drop them... no says anything to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats because if we did the NAACP would be all over our asses!

They're not eggs...chuck em. Just watch Ronnie on his DVD(s). He drops them like they're diseased. But I think he actually bought the heavier DBs for that gym so he'd have enough weight to use. Even so I don't think he'd care. BigJim77 06-29-2005, 07:04 PM thats because if we did the NAACP would be all over our asses! K&P Since when does the NAACP give a rats ass about a white anglo saxon italian???????

Dakota 06-30-2005, 08:04 PM If you don't drop your weights on dumbell presses you still had one rep left in you. TheWon 07-01-2005, 11:07 AM If you don't drop your weights on dumbell presses you still had one rep left in you. Agreed! mr.Mastiffs 07-02-2005, 05:27 AM If you don't drop your weights on dumbell presses you still had one rep left in you. no spotter and riskin injury I will drop it every time!Only dumbells,squats a few times i dumped it along with heavy deadlifts hit the floor the odd time,like the sounds of weights not gay music that every gym plays. Italianitis 07-05-2005, 02:46 AM I drop them but i try to be careful. no more than 6 inches to a foot. i lift in my basement so i have to be careful. there just carpet with cement underneath bonezone 07-05-2005, 05:28 AM I drop them but i try to be careful. no more than 6 inches to a foot. i lift in my basement so i have to be careful. there just carpet with cement underneath One thing that should have been pointed out in this thread is that dropping them like this is not the problem, the problem is guys that dump them. For me this is the equivalent of the fucks who scream when they press them. If you have to be so dramatic then buy a bowflex and get in the garage.

For me this is the equivalent of the fucks who scream when they press them. If you have to be so dramatic then buy a bowflex and get in the garage. what you do with them type of people is go up to them and tell them "Great job!!" in a sarcastic manner, then pick up their weights and warm up with them or pop out a set of 10 Italianitis 07-06-2005, 12:48 AM One thing that should have been pointed out in this thread is that dropping them like this is not the problem, the problem is guys that dump them.

I've been to a local gym a few times. Kinda over dramatic people that just want the attention. Instead of getting the attention being humble they have to get it another way. I was just saying what I normally do. |
