i'll take a look at the tungsten angle. any suggestions on custom manufacturers? i think i've narrowed it down to two "thor's hammer" dumbell bars with the 2" grips with olympic sleeves rather than standard (piedmont design associates). unless you guys think there is an advantage to getting standard sleeves...i don't think i've ever even used a plate that fits on a standard sleeve. thx >> Stay informed about: dumbell plates

"Thor's Hammer™ features 8" long sleeves to ensure you don't run out of room. If you assume 1" per sleeve for outside collars space, you can fit 7 dimes or quarters per side giving you total loads of 149 and 359 per bar, respectively. " well, i can only handle 110's in farmer's walk (and that's standard grip diameter, not the 2" of thor's hammer), so maybe i'll be okay for a while without custom plates or anything like that... http://www.fractionalplates.com/cgi-bin/edatcat/PDAstore.cgi?user_acti...detail& >> Stay informed about: dumbell plates

Spend the $ and get some custom made tungsten plates. High strength. High density. >> Stay informed about: dumbell plates

I never liked those, maybe because I've only seen cheesy implementations. The good pro plate DB's like Ivanko are the best, the NY Barbell allen key type are OK if you keep an eye on them. Of course each dumbbell has to be permanently set up for one weight. >> Stay informed about: dumbell plates*

Having been forced by a succession of weak governments to adopt the metric system, the knock-on benefits have been surprisingly beneficial. There is no doubt that using metric plates makes training with weights a great deal less arduous, and thus more pleasant, as they are considerably lighter and easier to manage. My PB's have increased steadily for some time now. >> Stay informed about: dumbell plates
