Hey guys...have a quick question.
Due to shoulder problems I'm having to use dumbbells for a few exercises that I'd normally use a barbell (shoulder press, incline press.)
I have the CAP Barbell 10lb plates with the 1" center hole. I've got 160 lbs. worth of these 10lb plates (along with four 5lbers and four 2 1/2 lbers.) I like these plates because they are thin...kinda like the ones you find on the already-set-up dumbbells at gyms.
And I have the dumbbell handles with the screw on locks.
Here's the problem...right now I'm just hitting the point where I need five 10lb. plates on each side of the dumbbell handle (making the total weight, including the handle, 105lbs.) With five 10lbers on the screw on locks only catch about one thread...it's dangerous. As soon as they roll on the floor a little bit the locks come loose and almost come off...there just really isn't enough room for that fifth plate.
Can anyone recommend a longer dumbbell handle that can handle perhaps a few more 10 lb plates?
Thanks.
