Giant Dumbbells.Furious Pete builds the biggest.

The YouTube celebrity Furious Pete ( Peter Czerwinski ) had the world's heaviest dumbbell made for his channel.It's looks very well constructed.A massive silver monster.Tightly fitted,and engraved with with 'Furious Pete' on the ends.It weighed 425 pounds on the shop scale.He's calling it 420.

He got it back into his warehouse gym.He could only deadlift it off the ground.
I wonder if anyone could ever get that overhead? I doubt it.
The usual approach for a strongman lift is to get it up to the shoulder with two hands,then press it up overhead with one hand.



There's a man from New York who had a 413 pound dumbbell made.

He was trying to row it.But I wouldn't say that qualifies as a row.He's deadlifting it,and jerking it up a little.But he can tell people he has it.( with his creepy deep voice )
There's a very weird guy ( also with a creepy deep voice ) who costumes himself like a Mexican wrestler who semi rows a 375 lb db.I'll skip putting up his video.He has a serial killer vibe.Just no.

Then there's a video of Rich Piana with his crew from 2015 visiting a gym with a 375lb db.It seems to be a super extended dumbbell.Very long,and awkward.One of his guys did manage to row it.He was jerking,and bouncing,but I think it still looks like a row.

Now what about a legit overhead press?
Officially that would be Dimitar Savatinov of Russia.He pressed a 143kg / 315lb dumbbell overhead
in competition at a World's Strongest Man contest in 2017.

Astounding to see someone lift that massive awkward weight.He has to handle the size,and press it overhead!
Some people would call this a jerk instead of a proper press.I'll leave that judgement to the experts.

Pete has himself a very impressive gym decoration anyway.
