Ivanko weights

[tad69]

My training partner decided to build his own home gym and now I am going to have to get a few things to complete mine. I have already picked out all but the weight plates. I already have an Ivanko OB-20Kg bar but I need plates. I have narrowed it down to the OM machined plates or the O2B economy grade. The machined are damn near twice the price of the economy. My question is which would you buy and why?

I would say weight is weight - go cheap. Ultimate accuracy probably isn't a MAJOR concern in a home gym. (some cheaper brands can beoff by a pound or two) They will all be chalk covered and rusty soon enough, save the rest for bands and accessories. My $.02

check out any fitness or gym equipment stores in your area, sometimes they sell used weights really cheap. or check the ads in the newspaper and such.

CAP it will be. Just got off the phone with the local Play it Again Sports. They have them in stock for $.32 new and $.26 used.

Thanks Mule.
