    bangers

    why do people feel the need to clang the dbs together at the top of their reps?wtf!!!!and it's always the guys with the 25lb dbs doing incline presses.
    whenever i see someone doing this i say to my gf,in a loud voice,"we've got a "banger".
    sometimes they stop and sometimes they don't.oh well....

    I'm guilty of it. However I incline 60kg DB's (you work out the maths). Its easier to stop them like this.

    Banging once or twice every 10 reps is understandable but these guys hit every rep. Then they usually have to much weight so they just drop the dumbells on the floor because they can't control the weight.

    I do both of those!. I don't only drop my weights on the floor, I fcuking bounce them off the ground. Believe me when you've hit failure on some heavy as hell DB's its the safer thing to do. Like I said, I incline 60kg DB's, I think thats about 140lbs each DB. At failure I'm not taking the chance of gentle putting those bastards down too gently.

    When you put up a serious amount of weight I understand but the guys I see have like 55lbs in their hands.

    Oddly enough. I was lifting at college today and I'm using 100lbers doing nice reps on the incline and I drop them on the incline. This little twig that is supervising the place comes up to me with this bull**** "please dont drop them on the ground". I say well how about u just sit here and spot me... i got over to the 150lbers and start inclining this fockers and it took a ****load for me to do them and he grabs one of them when i'm done with my set and drops it right on the floor. I act like the biggest prick on earth and say "you shouldnt be dropping those". He just walked off. I can't wait to deadlift there.. NOthing like a bunch of 150 lbs surfer dorks spotting....

    I think banging the dumbbells together takes away from the concentration of the movement. But when they're heavy I'll drop those fuc*ers in a heartbeat. This is bodybuilding here, we're not building model airplanes or at the library.
