Dropping DB's, regardless of how heavy is a sign of being disrespectful
to the gym and the owner(s).
Plus it is absolutely unnecessary. It is a selfish behavior that some think makes them look "bad ass".
A pair of 150's cost the owner about $300.
Having them wielded isn't cheap either.
In the 22 years I owned and operated my gym, I only had to throw out
one member. He paid less for his membership than it cost me to have several sets repaired.
A gym membership doesn't give anyone the right to damage the equipment.
Some people just don't get it.

agreed but even if you look into GP dumbells then run up to 1k or more. NO one should be throwing shit around.
