A buddy of mine made me this dumbbell called the Da Beast, its 30 inches long and 12 inches in diameter! It only weighs in 85 but can be loaded with 10's to more than 185. I am still getting the feel for this massive beast

The day I brought it home.

What is it made out of? Aluminum? Does it come apart? Looks pretty cool!

LOL not any time soon... I will have to work my ass off to get the 185!

Its 1/8" steel for the bell part, not sure of the handle or loading pin, its hollow pipe 1 and a half or whatever which makes it just shy of 2" so normal collars wont work. Wrist wraps do though. The handle is 2.5"


Sweet!

Thanks, its fricken massive!

Hey, it looks great but I think you have to increase the weight of this dumbbell for becoming a strongman champion. :)

That's awesome. I love these dumbells, helps grip out a ton with the thick handles.

These dumbells are looks to be different than simple dumbells and also it gave more benefit to you.

Looks great man! Should get it patented and start selling these bad boys. I've been looking for cheap substitues for weights for a long time now.

Depends on your location but a lot of guys are making these. Slatershardware.com has good ones, https://www.facebook.com/biggdogg.strongg makes most of the ASC equipment, http://www.ilstrongman.com/index2.html is where I got mine, if you are near IL.
