If you do that, don't forget to get some rope to hang yourself with.

Yeah I need the heavier dumbbells mainly for the bench presses and you kind of have to just dump them when you are doing decline bench. Would powerblocks just shatter if I do that?

From what I've read of others who own them, don't drop them regularly or they'll get messed up eventually.

Fat grips help build forearms, so fat bar helps build shoulders. Why else would people even do it?

Just don't do decline bench? It seems like a pointless exercise anyway. Pointless in the sense that it doesn't really give you anything over flat or incline.

Yeah I know I don't do declines much anyway but I'd still like to know that I won't destroy a dumbbell that's worth $250 by letting go of it from knee height.

I was so loving afraid of becoming a fatass when I decided to bulk at 20 percent body fat but man I feel great now that I'm almost done. I know the ideal is to go down first and then bulk but I was just spinning my wheels for a long time and the change was good psychologically. Wish I'd done it sooner. Now that I actually have some muscle to work with I may finally cut down to something reasonable without shriveling into a skeleton. Then do it all over again.

I have the Iron Master adjustable dumbbells. I love them. They're sturdy as hell and come with a lifetime warranty, but they're more expensive.

That was a rule in my uni gym and I kept bringing one to my new gym for years.

Never laid it down in a bench to protect myself, though.

Well you are supposed to wipe off your filthy sweat with your towel so just put it up before and save a lil time and just sweat directly on your towel

This was normal a few years ago I thought

my current gym has signs about bringing your towel but nobody gives a gently caress

I just noticed it recently and maybe it's the Instagram thing, I've never seen anyone use a towel there

I used to always bring a towel to my old gym. The etiquette there was strong

In my new trash gym though, no one gives a poo poo. So tbh, there's no point in giving a poo poo yourself. You wipe the bench off only for some sweaty gross dude to directly splash all over it again immediately? At least they got spray bottles so you can wipe off other peoples grotesque sweats when there's just too much
