Sound like our 50kgs mate - fooooking hate the handles on them - they are quite large in the middle and taper off slightly towards the ends - the weights themselves are covered in a load of rubber too!!! I'm sure if the handles where skinnier I'd do better at them - too busy concentrating on losing grip of them & dropping the fookers than lifting them! lol
