Barbells and dumbells are heavy, solid objects used for strength training. They can hurt people if misused, which is why you must be mindful where you put them, not lift more weight than you can safely control, and get someone to spot for you if you're doing heavy bench presses or back squats with a barbell. In fiction, these same properties may cause them to be grabbed as Improvised Weapons, particularly if a fight erupts inside of a gymnasium or other place of training. While it'd be more practical to use an empty bar—since this would be easier to handle while still remaining heavier than any "normal" melee weapon—a handy way to demonstrate someone's incredible strength is for them to swing a barbell with plates loaded on one or both ends, essentially turning it into a giant two-handed mace or double-ended mace. Speaking of the users, expect anyone to actually attempt using these in a fight to be huge bodybuilders or people with Super-Strength. A Sub-Trope of Improvised Weapon. See also Batter Up!, Golf Clubbing, and Combat Cue Stick for when other sports equipment are used as a weapon. |

Ranma ½: In the story introducing Ry�ga Hibiki, the Tend� sisters hear a fight in the garden, at night and under the rain, between Ranma and someone else. Thinking it's a burglar, Akane is ready to attack the intruder with a shinai, but Kasumi dissuades her and hands her instead a small training barbell. Akane throws it and hits Ry�ga behind the head; despite being Made of Iron, the Hibiki lad is still briefly stunned and let go of his umbrella, with the rain triggering his Jusenky� curse. | |

In Ring Fit Adventure, Scuttlebells are crab-like monsters that attack by clasping their big claws to form a dumbbell and slamming you with them. In some boss fights, Dragaux uses them for his lifting exercise and to hit you with them. | |

Yandere Simulator: Dumbbells are one of the many weapons in the game. They can be used to kill directly and are classified as blunt weapons because they leave no blood pools if the player attacks from behind. Another function of the dumbbells is the crushing elimination method. The player can carry a bucket full of dumbbells if the physical stat is high enough and drop it from the rooftop on the victim. | |

While investigating Lex Luthor's cell in "Crime and Punishment", Supergirl is attacked by a newly upgraded Otis Graves. After being propelled into the prison gym, she picks up a barbell and tries to wrap it around Otis, but he easily manages to break free. He then grabs two dumbbells and uses them to box Supergirl in a ring. |

Episode 4 of Nu, Pogodi! has the Wolf attempting to set a weight lifting record, but failing because a butterfly sits on the barbell. After it falls on his foot, he grabs the barbell, with weights only remaining on one side, and angrily attempts to smash the butterfly. The chase brings him to the Hare, where he attempts to take out both him and the butterfly with one strike, but instead trips and gets hit on the head with one of the weights. Starts here around 3:00. | |

Dead Rising: Dumbbells are a recurring weapon in the series, being strong enough to kill zombies (or even survivors) in one hit. The first game also has barbells, which are found alongside dumbbells in Flexin' in Al Fresca Plaza. While a powerful weapon, it has a slow swing and recovery time, leaving you open to counterattacks. Barbells make a return in Dead Rising 3, being found in Aduna's Boxing Gym and Yoh-Gah!. The psychopath Jherii Gallo also utilizes one as her main weapon in her boss fight, which you can use for yourself after defeating her. |

In Gyee, the gym trainer Lee fights using a large pair of dumbbells. His basic attack is striking the target with them. His ultimate attack is him spinning one of them around and finally launching it at the enemy. | |

Alien: Resurrection: Christie attempts this on Ripley 8, striking her square in the face with a barbell. Due to her half-Xenomorph biology, Ripley 8 only suffers a slight nosebleed from the attack. | |
