weight varies by a bit (not so much that it matters) especially for frequently used older plates or cheaper uncalibrated plates. calibrated ones are more expensive and vary less
Get something on fb marketplace or Craigslist if you are just starting out for cheap. Playitagain also has decent prices. Once you go heavy as hell you prob need to go namebrand but that will take you a while.
Let me clarify on the namebrand too, maybe only for the bar. Who cares about the weights being super accurate. Good bars you can notice with big weight though.
How do I source my own iron
It's literally just weight, and can be used for nothing except for that purpose
Why the frick is fitnesss equipment so expensive
Make sure you don't get light iron or you're NGMI.
But seriously, you're better off just buying a pl8 than smelting one yourself, like seriously anon, I know you're a cheap frick, I am too but the effort of smelting and casting a pl8 is not worth it, just buy one used. Believe me, I tried.
Yes, Exactly. You only have to buy pl8s once and they'll literally outlive you and your great-great-great sons unless you literally leave them to rot on purpose.
Bout $200
I'd say $300-$150 depending on the quality
>quality
Is there much variation in quality in these lumps of iron?
the bar, yes. weight is weight

>$300-$150
the frick is that range
$0 they're terrible
t. own them and have replaced all of them with real equipment from REP and Rogue
What made them particularly bad?
Bar is really bad
Plates are really off in weight: one of the 45s weighed 41 lbs while another weighed 48
Damn, Ill have to go check that, my current 45s and 10s are from them, my 25s are Golds though. Thanks for reading my blog.
lol you paid abusively more just because the brand poses itself as "professional" you literal consoomer cattle
I own these too and they're totally fine. It's just a steel bar and donut shaped pieces of iron. Wtf are you talking about.
I can tell you're dyel because the bar bent on me when I was deadlifting lmao4pl8
so the plates are fine and the bar is shit. still op is probably better off buying used plates

You don't need 35s
Why not? The make a 2 plate bench 40 pounds lighter
A buck a pound for the iron and 60-150 for the bar depending on quality.

The state should provide this to adolescent males
minus the 35s
This but instead of removing the 35s, substitute it for another pair of 45s instead.
Need about 6 more 45s. Is anyone on this board really Diddy Lifting less than 5 pl8? Lmao
Check em
1$ per pound

I just realized that once I buy them, I will never have to think about buying them again, and have decided to just save up for nice shit
