I'm doing Stronglifts 5 x 5 and rapidly progressing to heavier weights. So much so that by the end of this week I will have run out of my existing weights! I bought my first set secondhand on Gumtree but I was extremely lucky to find a set nearby.

Any suggestions for websites or shops for cheap purchase of weights? Most sets seem to come with loads of little weights whereas I need some big ones (25kg).

Thanks

    I bought the Marcy 140kg Oly tri-grip barbell set (http://www.marcyfitness.co.uk/?q=content/140kg-olympic-tri-grip-barbell-set-f1180) and I think it was from Powerhouse Fitness through Amazon.

    Be patient and keep trying ebay - It is much cheaper on there than buying new. An alternative I will try when i get in the same situation is to put a "Wanted" post on our local items for sale page on facebook. I have a search set on ebay to notify me for free weights in the local area.
    My problem is more matching the weights so the barbell/dumbells are balanced. I have enough weight in total just not in the right bits!!!
    If you do find something super cheap, please let me know!!!

    Thanks
