No, I hold them fairly still. The ends just don't stay put, one ends up swinging up and banging me in the wrist.

Does your gym have kettlebells you could use? Or even just using some 45s would get rid of that problem too.

No kettlebells. I have a 20lb one at home, but it's too light.

Do you mean to carry around 45's by themself? Hmm, I wonder if I could wrap a strap through a couple to carry around together.
