Performing weight-bearing exercises with proper technique is essential during any workout, not only to ensure you get the maximum muscle-building benefits, but also to ensure you can avoid strains or injuries. And that’s just wearing regular gear. What if your weights were also covered in metal spikes?
Two years ago, the YouTube bodybuilding duo, the amateur types—also known as the brothers Brandon and Hudson White— made a video in which built their own concrete dumbbells during the pandemic, where access to home fitness equipment was scarce. In a follow-up video, the Dudes get their wish to create a very different kind of dumbbell: the most dangerous in the world.
“It’s a terrible idea, I love it,” says blacksmith Matthew, who is on hand to help the Buff Dudes fulfill their dream of creating the sharpest, deadliest, most metallic dumbbells of all time. Matthew’s Philosophy: “A build is a failure if you can’t kill something with it.”
Matthew starts by welding a metal frame that can be supported from the inside, like a normal box weight. He then proceeds to add a total of 32 sharp metal spikes to the exterior, transforming the weights into menacing-looking weapons capable of piercing open beer cans (as the brothers demonstrate with gleeful abandon). In total, the entire project takes around six hours to complete.
“I’ve never been so nervous and excited about working out,” says Hudson.
