    Hmm… I don't know if they are real but they appear to be standard 10 lb. weights for 80 lbs. of disks and another 5 or so for the handle. Total weight appears to be 85 lbs.

    Just my two cents worth.  🙂

    I repeat – they are not real – Melissa admitted to a little creative licence with this video long ago.  Of course, it doesn't mean it's any less sexy, and, as I recall, the weights still were around 45 pounds.

    Don't know if they're real in this case, but I have read that it's not uncommon for some photogs to use stage free weights that look exactly like the real thing, but aren't (made out of plastic, wood or rubber) for photo-ops with their subjects.

    🙂 I finally got a chance to see this video, there is a version of it out on youtube now. It does’nt seem likely that those are really 85lb dumbells. I had read some stuff about Melissa on her own website and she said that her strongest suit was her leg strength, and not the upper body.

    You’ve got to remember also that she is a small gal only about 5’2”, and in that video she does’nt appear to have much beef on her arms.

    Trying to pull a stunt off like that with serious weight could have caused her serious bone damage., and I don’t think that anyone would want to see that.

    Just the fact that she comes on with her ass and tits sticking out might indicate to you that the whole thing was designed to tittilate.

    Resurrecting a year old thread.

    And I’m sure we discussed that those were fake – heavy, but fake – dumbells…

    As a former gym rat I can say with certainty that those are supposed to look like the 85 lb. dumbells. It’s a nice fantasy. The look of tension in her muscles leads me to believe that maybe half the plates are real and half fake – probably painted balsa wood. Here’s the same kinda deal.
    Daniella’s strong, but 495 lb. incline bench? I don’t think so. Nice fantasty, though.

    I saw this video a few times on the net and it is white hot but the quality of video is not very clear.
    Does anybody know if it available on a DVD? -Robert.
