What brand of Olympic weights and barbells do you recommend?

Got a multi-purpose bench that supports Olympic weights. It does hamstrings, quads, as well as bench press. Just need to go out and buy some free weights and a barbell to be complete. Any recommendations?

Rogue is good value for money. If money is no object then its a whole different ball game

Elieko is the gold standard but will cost serious $$.

At the end of the day, weight is weight. Find the cheapest per pound you can find and lift it.

Whatever is on ******** marketplace for a good price. Oly weights are generally always for sale on marketplace.

Building a home gym is a slow and expensive process. 2nd hand stuff is king. The only stuff I buy new is specialty stuff that never gets resold or stuff that hold its value and theres no discount to be had usually, cybex, elieko, powerblocks, rogue etc. You can sometimes get the high end stuff for a good deal but its few and far between and it gets sold within the first hour of going up.

This. Even then a rogue barbell is $300. I recently bought the TB2 Trap Bar and it came to $500 shipped.

Eleiko master race is pretty legit, but it’s pricey.

I’m a rogue man myself.
