Plate weights (home gym brahs gtfih)

Plate weights are a rip-off rn

Plus they’re scarce.

Should I just go to Home Depot and fill some buckets with concrete?

What did you guys do? Any solutions? I have a bench, a rack, and a bar, just need weights

if you're doing bench and squat, you don't need metal weights

You can easily cast plates with concrete if you have the proper dimensions x weight per material calculation

I had all my plates before stupid pandemic. I accidently bought those concreate plates once. The guy must have changed his post after I bought them and they drove up with wife and two kids so I felt bad and bought them. In the end I threw them away. So impractical... Get bands bro, you can create a lot of tension with bands and they are cheap.

I don't go to the gym anymore so above stats are useless.

Only do weighted calastentics in the comfort of my own home!

Bands are not dogshtt. That is my counter argument.

Of course you better be doing dips and pull ups.
