50KG

One day when I'm all grown up I'll but some of them

Morba · 20 Sep 2010 at 20:07

Im trying to justify buying a couple. They can sit on a bar then, saves cocking around with loads of 20's!

The best plates I could find was these http://www.purefitnessandsports.co....-trigrip-weight-plates-125kg-20kg-p-1237.html But nowhere near £1 - KG

I'm due a couple more 20Kg plates too so if anyone can get them cheaper I'll probably jump all over them!

Nice but the 2.5's are sold out. I can't go up in 10's. It's too much for lighter work for me.

Thanks anyway.

I found these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/50KG-DUMBELLS...5?pt=UK_Strength_Training&hash=item19bf6e1a21 they arn't exaclty what I wanted but they fit the budget a little better. What do you reckon.

80, that's not bad!

£95 with postage. I just need to phone and find out if it actually takes 50kg, rather than him just selling me 50kg of plates and 2 bars which happened to me at argos. It also nearly happened at powerhouse I think it was with a dumbbell/barbell set. My bad.

Found this bench as well which seems to do the job. http://www.fitness-superstore.co.uk/utility_benches/york__fitness_bench/8069_p.html takes 200kg which is a big plus as well.

Same price, more weight, an Oly bar.

NOTE: Bar only weighs 15kg, and not 20. But still, better than 2x 25kg dumbbells imo!

Nice but I have a barbell. Just looking for the dumbbell. Thamks anyway.

fitnesssuperstore had a sale on and I picked up cast iron for near £1.40per KG I think.

Can't fault them. Finish on the backs of some is less than perfect but over all very impressed. (Not like it matters anyway!)

Morba · 20 Sep 2010 at 21:17

Oh, that's not 2 50kg db's not at that price.

I suppose a value kilo is the same as any other kilo

Morba · 20 Sep 2010 at 21:28

Yeah, 2x25kg

Sorry yeah that's correct. I'm just looking for x2 25kg.

Seems to be a pretty good deal I suppose?

Morba · 20 Sep 2010 at 21:59

It is good still

My 60 set is an unknown brand, just says 'bp60' on each plate (16 of them, 3.5kg each).
