- Phrenzy 4y agoI have another thing to add to the list, "If I became a millionaire." A complete set of tungsten dumbbells.
- elbigbad 4y agoThis is funny, with that size of fully filled with tungsten the small flat rate box must be 40-45lbs. That’s massive for something of that size and lack of carryability. The same size as the large weights for barbells at the gym.
- BanazirGalbasi 4y agoAt 0:14 someone says "that thing is like 200 pounds", and the response 5 seconds later is "48". Your guess wasn't far off. I assume the original challenge was one-handed, which makes that first lift even more impressive. There's nowhere to grab it or get leverage!
- elbigbad 4y agoThanks for the clarity! I didn’t see the actual weight in the description so thought I’d make an educated guess.
