Grip training is a strange concept. Most people neglect the muscularture of the lower arm in favour of working the biceps or the abs. The usual reasoning is "you can't show off your forearms or hands". Other excuses are "I don't want rough skin on my hands, the girls wont like it" or "I do high rep wrist curls, I don't need other exercises".

Bollox!

If you are one of those people who uses these excuse's or variations I suggest you fcuk off somewhere else because BengDogg's thick handled dumbells are not for you. The excuse champions are better off going down to Argos to buy some pink 2kg dumbells, add some pink furry material for added homosexual flamboyancy and pump their forarms with high rep wrist curls with the other homo/metro's at the gym.

I'm glad to see most of you are still here, which means you are interested in building your hands and forearms with one of the most effective methods possible: BengDogg's thick handled dumbell's.

Let's cut to the chase, do they work? Hell yeah. They are 2" in diameter and are manufactured to use olympic plates. They are solid and smooth yet durable, you wont need another pair ever. They can basically be used for any dumbell exercise you wish: Presses, curls, farmers walks, kick backs (giggle)... Of course the real benefit of these is the added involvement of the fingers and thumbs which will contribute to lower arm strength.

Looks? Well, this is difficult. If your a homo/metro then I'm sure you wont appreciate the ruggedness of their design as you would much prefer your pink homo bell's.
For the rest of us, they look awesome. They exhibit a metal look which is reminiscent of the hardcore gym, exactly what we're looking for. Coolness = 10/10.

Price? LMAO, they are a bargain, end of. They retail at £40 including delivery.
If you're stupid enough to buy the IronMind ones then go ahead dumbass, dont take advantage of this bargain. If you dont have the cash then ask your parents, relatives, wife, girlfriend to get you them for Christmas, problem sorted, no excuses.

Not convinced? Well you should be. BengDogg's thick handled dumbells will improve your grip strength and are an essential part of any athlete's repertoire.
BengDogg's service is good, he keeps you well informed, is polite and is trustworthy (as other members can testify).

Email BengDogg directly for orders for thick handled barbell's/dumbell's and other grip toys.
(insert email here Beng)

P.s No Cheggers, doing Coc grippers is not the same as thick bar work.

I got mine yesterday! Its ****ing ace. I went for the Inch DB trainer. 2.5" rotating handle (harder than IM Rolling Thunder as its thicker.) It's got the trade mark BengDoggBars hardcore look about it, and is solidly built. Buy one now.

I've come to the conclusion that if you dont use thick bars, you are gay.
Since using them my grip training has stepped up a gear that could not be achieved doing anything else. I wish I had started using them years ago.....don't make the same mistake.

benddogg, you sure theres no way at all you could make a barbell/some dumbells for 1 inch standard plates? Money is no object! I just really want one.

BengDogg
05-01-2005, 18:59

DelBoy
06-01-2005, 23:52

DelBoy
12-01-2005, 20:48
Go easy on me though, i'm not too well atm!
How much would it be/how would you like to be paid?

DelBoy
13-01-2005, 19:59
Right, had a look and a measure. The bar I have currently looks to be inbetween 25-26mm and the plates holes are 27mm. So what do you think? 26mm bar??

BengDogg
13-01-2005, 21:09
25mm would be best, it help the plates revolve, my thick bars are 48mm and 50mm plates fit great, cheers Del i will enquire this weekend then

DelBoy
13-01-2005, 23:09
thank you mate for trying

DelBoy
15-01-2005, 14:29

BengDogg
15-01-2005, 15:51
Funny you should ask, i spoke to him not 10 mins ago about said bar, he said it wont be a problem to make, he will have to price up the bar first though so he is on it

DelBoy

I spoke to my mate just and he said it is doable but he hasnt had time as he is working 60 hour weeks atm and only get saturdays to himself, he needs to source some solid 1" bar you see.

BengDogg
30-01-2005, 16:26
Del i just spoke to my mate and it looks like the bar will be about £65 delivered to your door! If you are serious about having one and happy with the price we will try and get one knocked up for you in the near future, roughly 14 -8 days to get it made and send, sorry for the delay dude! let me know! ;)

DelBoy
02-02-2005, 09:30
