    I have suggestion for you Matt, if you are going to do this again.
    Make an see through box (acrylic).
    Make it arm length deep.
    Make a hole on top, wide enough for 1 arm only
    On the side you put another box with money in it and a dispenser with flap so the two ends of the dumbbell will open the hatch and dispense the money. Place another place on top of the dumbbell with hole, so the dumbbell cannot be tilted Also they won't be able to do without the dumbbell.
    Place the dumbbell at the bottom.

    It really is about technique more than brute strength. It's 220 lbs, not 500 lbs. Having a tight grip, letting your legs do most of the lifting and keeping your arm straight and locked. We have a young lady in our gym, she's 17 years old, and she is able to clean and jerk 240 lbs.. Yes it took a lot of training and she's using 2 arms, but she's also putting the barbell over her head and locking her arms out. She will be the first to tell you that much of it is technical. We don't encourage her to do this very often because she is young and her body is still developing. Lifting this heavy at an early age can cause a lot of problems later in her life. PS- before anyone says anything, no, she is not using PEDS.

    When I saw the constable, I had to laugh. Not because he couldn't lift it. I applaud him for trying. But, it reminded me of the great Ricky Gervais talking about his older brother, when a constable dropped his ticket book, whilst writing them a ticket. The constable's hat fell off and a pack of smokes in the bowl of it revealed itself. To which the constable replied to Ricky's brother "I'm sure you've always wondered what we keep under our hats", to which Ricky's brother stated" Well I knew it wasn't your F**k'n brains"! Never gets old.

    I really wish I had something to try this with. I'm pretty sure I could lift it.
