An equally funny part is it's actually useful advice. Most people try to get their hand way under it, but it's going to straighten your wrist if you do that, which gives it momentum to open your hand and actually makes it harder.

Let's see them doing it 😂

First day impressions:It arrived in a waist high box. kzread.infoUgkxP26Tir6n60vUkdtn4mbwhRO8cwuJQNy2 Each dumbbell was in its own foam box within the shipping box. Everything was secure and in good shape. No weird smells. The weight changing mechanism is really smooth and straight forward. Changing weight is really fast and easy. Though the handle is plastic, I don't think it will be breaking anytime soon. So far pretty impressed after my first session with them. I was afraid they were going to be too wide at first, but I didn't have any issues with them while doing upright rows.

Most people take their dog for a walk but Martins is different, he takes his dumbbell for a walk!

The inch is no joke. Getting two guys to do it is a short time is impressive. The funniest thing with the inch is people trying it like 10 times when they didn’t even come close the first time. But that’s common. It would be like trying to bench 405 and having it staple you to the bench but giving it a go 5 more times in a row

Hey question....How do you get it to stay in your hand?? You grab it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 MIC DROP!

Love any and all Odd content.

The skinny guy may of had the grip strength for the 330 but not the body strength to lift it

When you warm your grip up with those plates, are you squeezing really hard or just comfortably? I have a pretty decent grip naturally and don’t really train it, and would be interested to see what I could do with training it more specifically

Old. Man. Strength.
