Apologies if this is the wrong forum, but I’m wondering if anyone has been able to purchase weights online recently. My gym, like everyone’s, closed temporarily last month and I’ve been trying to find a barbell and some plates to hold me over, but no luck so far. Amazon does have some listed from third party sellers, but from what I’ve seen they cost about twice the normal retail price. It doesn’t look like dicks or even Walmart ship them out and no locations near me have any in stock. I tried some other random online fitness equipment retailers to no avail. Anyone have any ideas? Just a barbell and a few 45 pound plates would do it for me. These resistance bands aren’t cutting it anymore!
Appreciate it!
I’ve seen a few used weights being advertised on craigslist and in the facebook marketplace.
There are videos on how to make weight plates from concrete. You could look into that, although you’d need a suitable bar. Perhaps black pipe from the hardware store might work.
If you’re mechanically inclined, you could go to an auto salvage yard and find heavy pieces of scrap. Brake rotors are about 15 pounds and could probably work as improvised plates.
