Was in the US training with Layne Norton for 3 weeks recently. While i was there, i was using the Rubber dubbells they have everywhere now. I got used to the balance of those, they differ from metal quite a bit in volume, theyre larger, and longer handles.

The ones back here in india are very compact, rubber grip, and i hate them.

I was DB Pressing 52.5 for 6 ,and when i got back i was pressing the 40s for 6, and couldnt even get the 55s in starting position!


My gyms DB selection is pathetic. It goes from 30 to 40 to 55 to 70 lbs and ends there..

Dont tell me to switch gyms, its the only one here with a squat rack...

So i bought myself some plate loaded dumbbell handles. Steel grip.


WOW these feel different, GOOD different.

I did 49 lbs for 9 and 58 lbs for 3, both new prs, without much effort.

The volume of these is again huge compared to the metal ones at the gym. The bar is almost 2x longer, and its a single 22 lb plate on each side instead of a bunch of small chrome plated ones.


Is it just me or does balance play a huge role in DB lifts?
