Hey guys,

does anyone know of any places that sell standard plates for a good price? i would like to pick up about 24x10lb plates for two dumbbells i made a few years ago (they are adjustable and should hold at least 120 each).
so far the best price i've found is $.89/lb at fitness source..

thanks in advance!

You checked Kijiji or Craigslist? Allllways good deals to be had on weight there. I see ads all the time for free stuff, just gotta go get it out of their garage for them.

Play It Again Sports usually has a good stock of used standard plates.

i just got a quote back from foremostfitness.com - 10lb standard plate for $11.74, that's pretty damn pricey!

$1 = 1 lbs is pretty much standard
