Holy Sh#%^ weights are exspensive

[scout69]

Well if you havent read my earlyer posts I was a long time member here Scout420 but had to take a trip for two years Im now restricted to my house and had to get weights man them dumbells put a nice whole in my pocket but hey it's worth it,Just never really thought about the price when I'd just go to the gym...If anyone has a source that sells weights cheaper that the usual 59 to 79 cents a pound please let me know that adds up when you need twoo 100 lb dunbells

If it makes you feel any better, the gear is more expensive than the weights, and a clean healthy protein rich diet, is even more expensive than gear Just thought I'd cheer ya up abit.

Bro, home exercise equipment is the only thing in this world that depreciates in value faster than a driving a new car off the lot. Do an ebay search locally(shipping will rape you)and p/u on your own-let someone else absorb the loss-buy your equipment used.

Sad but true, and new or used, it performs exactly the same, cant hurt it.

It came as a complete set!

5lb Dumbells makes a great door stop.

most of the cost is in the shipping (either to the store or to the store and then to you).

look on ebay or craiglist you can usually find someone selling an weight set or dumbells (often pretty much new)- though even well worn DB's and plates are usually quite "new". exercise equipment is one thing that buying used is often very good- because most people never use it (its like brand new)

 

[trickassmark]

I looked for used dumbells but couldn't find any weights that were heavy enough... bought mine new 60-140 from ivanko for $1600.

 

[macrophage69alpha]

if you are using weights 150lb and over for DB's then its probably as cheap or cheaper to have them custom made by a metal or machine shop locally

 

[macrophage69alpha]

1600$ is not a bad price for new 1800lbs of dumbells- especially if its delivered.

an example of used price
5 through 65's in 5lb increments 70, 80,90, 100 (also Ivanko)
1590lbs for 600$

 

[sorerotators]

fuck that. get a pair of olympic db handles. load that shit up.

 

[BigCracker]

I have these for dumbells-excellent for home-takes up hardly any space-sturdy as hell. My set goes to 90#'s

That's the reason I went with BOWFLEX (SelectTech)... oh yeah, almost as bad as the commercials with John Basedow. Also another issue was getting them to my home, which will have to be workout out some how when I get the larger bells... because I do not have a truck, my little ass car's shocks would blow out the top trying to bring home a shite load of weights.

I got 5 lb- 52.5 lb dumbells shipped to my residence in two boxes.

$399 though. But IMO worth it, and I'm still on a quest to find the rest of my dumbells somewhere, lol... the 55 lbs and up so I can complete a whole dumbell workout, shrugs with the barbell here aren't getting me anywhere... enough of my rant.

BigCracker... the powerblocks: How do you like them? I looked into them as well. My reason for not getting them is that I wasn't sure how curling one's wrist when doing exercises would be restricted for certain moves... What's your take on them since you own them??

That's pretty slick! How do you like them? How long have you had them?

best bet is to by them in sets. like a 310lb Olympic set. much better deals.
look around garage sales, news papers as well.

A long time bro. About 7 yrs or so-they're pretty tough too. However I don't abuse them. I drop them on rubberized floormats from a reasonable height.

Occasionally I'll even tie down my pitbulls to them to keep them from wrecking the house when I'm gone(two busted coffee table later)-they still drag them around like they're nothing.

talk to the manager, those prices you quote are retail for mums n dads

i got a set made up from 20lbs to 120s for 800AU by going to a gym manufactory

Yes the 300lb Oly set is an excellent start set for barbells... I actually got a 300lb set from Sports authority a few years back for only $100 US... pretty sweet, just gotta look out for deals and COUPONS coupons are King.
