At home plates ideas?

terrie_k

I'm looking to restart Stronglifts 5x5. When I did it before the lowest weights I had at home were 1 kg plates. Adding 2 kg per lift just isn't doable for me and I don't feel like looking for lower weight plates. Anyone have at home ideas I could strap on to my bar? 0.5-1 lb ideas welcome. I have a regular diameter bar, not Olympic. TIA

maybe you could try tying water bottles to the bar, then you could fill them with exactly as much as you need
