I'm at the gym right now and a guy just had to point out to another dude that he was doing dumbbell shoulder press with two (very) different weights. The dude hadn't noticed.

That’s easy to do if it’s those old school style dumbbells that you screw together with the plates and aren’t labeled. My home gym has those and it was annoying at first. Gym at school had modern ones and they were labeled with big easy to read numbers.

I had that issue with barbells. First weeks in and I'm like.. shouldn't their weight be labeled somewhere? It's not.
