Yard Dog Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I'm after some free-weights, a decent bench and some bars. It's the sort of stuff that tends to lie around people's houses unused. If anyone wants to sell - let me have some pics and idea of the price. There's loads of this sort of stuff on the internet, especially eBay, but thought I'd try on here first. The aim is to cancel the 45 quid a month gym membership and do a bit from home instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigfinLatic Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Sold my last lot to some Polish mob at a car boot sale... was quite entertaining watching them carry them away... You are right, there is a hell of a lot of this stuff in peoples lofts. Just a word of warning - be careful of the 'weight limits' on most home supply benches. For example, the York one that everyone buys from argos has a top load of 100kg. (every 16 year old bloke has one!) If you are an average sized bloke, who can lift an average amount of weight you will be over that easily already and its pretty useles... The good thing about scanning ebay is you get some decent stuff cheaply when people upgrade - as you say, a decent weights bench is pretty important. My other piece of advice is go to a Tesco Extra - fantastically cheap metal weights in stock.... havent been to ones in oldham but i'd bet the new on on Hudds road sells them and they are fantastic value.
