This: and the fact that precision costs money when it comes to bulk metal. Try weighing the cheapo plates in a globogym sometime.
not him but it's all just so fucking stupid isn't it? just get cheap free weights off ebay or make your own. who fucking cares? it's heavy.
no one's stopping you, m8
i mean i've had them for 30 years but other people i know complain about the price of weights
coal is expensive
iron is expensive
turning iron into steel requires time and lots of coal and then turning said steel into plates. then and shit has to be overpriced a bit so the companies can pay the workers and keep making the product(could probably do fine at 200$ tho)
>rogue
Such an expensive brand
compared to other name brands? nah they're p cheap 2bh
ah, much cheaper m8
I always tip the driver when my weights are delivered. He does have to carry them afterall
Imagine living in a country where the driver doesn’t get paid enough so you have to go be him your money.
Imagine not having the courtesy to give a gesture of thanks to an overburdened worker after your order put him through unnecessary levels of stress. Bugperson mentality.
It’s illegal in my country. The company should make sure the drivers get enough pay to support themselves and most companies have a fee for helping. The idea of tipping just make sure companies don’t have to pay their employees.
>it's illegal in my country to give someone money without it first being taxed
lmaoing @ you being too retarded to realize how shit your country is

Every barbell has a diamond inside. It only opens to reveal the gem if you lift like a man.
Takes a bit of effort to get them to hit dimensions and weight. Sand molds are expensive, too, something on the order of $10k.
