WARNING - York Barbell Legacy Dumbbells - First Sighting

The YMCA got new dumbbells to replace a few old broken Yorks. They are the new "Legacy" Yorks. When placed next to an old York there is a BIG FUCKING DIFFERENCE.

My advice is to AVOID these dumbbells for pinch work. You are just pissing your money away on a second rate item. The inside/handle side of the blob is almost FLAT. The outside of the blob is comparable to the old Yorks.

The bells are coated with a gritty/rough finish.

My advice is to seek out an original York 50 or a GordonV Blob50 replica. These new "legacy" bells get an extreme thumbs down.

Due to the shape, I would recommend that they be prohibited for certification purposes.

Do not delude yourself if you are working with one of these pieces of shit.
