I’m seriously trying to contact manufacturers in China to buy like 2000 lbs of plates I work in logistics so I can get it back myself no issues for cost that way I can sell most and get mine free and never worry about this again but they are not even responding probably backed up with orders now


Dude. Keep that shit in China. Seriously. Don't bring that garbage ass shit back here.

Guys, guys, guys. Stop looking where everyone is looking.

Go hunt your local metal scrap yards and buy weights for $.10 - $0.25 a lb.

Negative. Nobody knows to look there.

Roll up to your yard. Tell them you are looking for weight lifting weights and ask where you should look. They will give you a generic direction to go. Spend some time looking

So far I’ve got lucky got:

barbells 20-60 lbs paid like $300

few dumbbells had 25 found 30 and 35

hoist v5 home gym found for $500

had a bench and some plates in the storage room

had a pull-up/dip/push up station in storage room

driving all the way past Milwaukee tomorrow to pick up a hack/squat press for $700

i need about 4 more 45lb plates and that I’m hunting now

also keeping an eye out for a cable crossover machine if I see one for a good price I’ll grab it but cheapest I seen so far was $1800 don’t wanna pay that much right now
