How do I go about buying a good and cheap set of weights so I can do some weight lifting at home? I f'king hate gyms and I'd like a small and conveniant set that I could use at home to do the weight lifting. Any suggestions?

I don't know about you, but I have a set of 5kg barbells I use for strength training. I practice Japanese archery, so I hold the barbells at different heights for different periods of time , working my arms, shoulders, and back.

I think you should be able to buy a decent set of barbells at any sports shop.

People sell them in classified ads and at yard sales, you can get them really cheap that way. Or you could go to a sporting goods store and buy them. Stores like Wal-Mart and Target also might have some in their sporting goods sections.

You might want to pick up a small adjustable bench, maybe something you can fold up and tuck under a bed.

Also I would suggest a regiment of push ups. I've been doing sets of pushups before bed and when I get up. I have seen a big difference.

Yeah I know walmarts carries some but I was wondering if it was any good.

concrete + water. Cheapest weights ever, and you can shape them into penises if you'd like.

I bought 600 lbs of steel weights and a weight tree for storage, an olympic bar, and a heavy duty chin/dip station and two 6x4x1 inch rubber mats for my basement.

Only set me back 1200 bucks after tax, delivery, and set up.

I love it.
