Weightlifting Deals & Offers

Everyone thinks you're really strong and brave for posting this

Still available near me (Kent)

Exactly what I'm after and thought these were at first lol

Anywhere got a set of 30 kg (total weight) dumbells in stock that arnt ridiculously priced??

Yes, I still use it everyday pretty much. Technically it paid for itself as my gym froze it's membership (highfive)

Hey @kinga0402 thanks for sharing this deal with us! I've added some more information there (y)

OoS :(

In stock for me.

The hole in these plates wont be a standard size, I found that out when I bought a curling bar from them, it didnt fit my weights.

OOS

Out of stock now, but good deal! Thanks @asprin292

Meh! Who takes breaks between exercises? Power though like a real champ! (And whilst you’re at it, sell me all your gym equipment for next to nothing so I can have a rest of between 2-4 mins between each set from the comfort of my own garage!)

Not myself, book a week in advance if youre lucky to even get a spot and they are max 45 minutes session. Take in to account all the time for before and after each exercise cleaning of stations and limited equipment too I think I will have a better session in my home gym. I've already been getting calls from mates but now this has them offering to pay me for use of my gym.

Maybe initially, but I know plenty of people desperate to get back in the gym and this includes people who e spent small fortunes on equipment for home use!

I think the post Covid gym experience will be very different, I reckon a lot of people will want continue to train at home.

I spoke to amazon 16kg & 20kg in stock 25th July

These will go down in price when gyms open back up

Delivery date came as December !...so cancelled it and ordered the 12Kg one .. which should be available at end of July :)

Bit of sellotape, that’ll be fine.

12kg available.

For rubber coated olympic plates?? - this would be cheap even pre-lockdown. If you are comparing them with uncovered 1" standard weights then it is apples and oranges. This is a great price.

Cold cold cold, 10kg for 19.99

I ordered the 15kg ones yesterday, ready to collect on 11th

Good price but none in stock in any of the stores near.

Thanks a lot. Found a pair of 15kg weights

As someone who has NEVER worked out, I would just like to state that 20KG is rather heavy. If I don't die from a heart attack or stroke first, I'm hoping this will help in some way.

that was quick :D

Now lol

anybody knows when they might be back in stock?

oos

Grabs a couple, rare as hens teeth atm, cheers

Just split those ones

Ordered

I've got a 12kg and 18kg from sweatband.com, the 18kg was £36.99 with free shipping which is a bargain IMO Currently OOS but both will be back in on 31/07 apparently: https://www.sweatband.com/dkn-12kg-vinyl-kettlebell.html https://www.sweatband.com/dkn-18kg-vinyl-kettlebell.html

Given the lockdown prices almost everywhere, this is a great price per kilo Amazons own, Decathlon and argos seem to be the only ones online I can find that have regular prices, getting hold of stock is another matter

Ahhh great idea! (y) - a full square metre (ish) of base to sit the weights/slabs on, rather than relying solely on that inch of metal frame! (highfive)

I used some decking wood. Placed it underneath so you can't see it and connected it all with eight m8 bolts. It works a treat. I did it in a square shape.

bizarrely, the homebase parasol base doesn't come with the necessary bolts

They look more practical too - same weight but only when you fill with water, and they hook together - as another poster mentioned, if the wind blows hard and the parasol shifts it can dislodge a single weight or two off the 1 inch cross frame and it's bye-bye parasol (lol)

Picked up something similar at Homebase for £50. https://www.homebase.co.uk/homebase-60l-quarter-parasol-base-set-of-4_p542738

Don’t buy from these crooks. Preordered the 25kg one. Waited 2 weeks and after several emails a group of us on here had them the orders cancelled. Terrible service from Sports Direct

I’ve expired as oos

This was one of my concerns before I bought them, but to be be honest I dont find it a problem. At the lightest weight you are still lifting the full lenght handle, but there are very few exercises that will be close to the body at the low weight where it will matter, and when you increase the weight on normal dumbbells they become a similar size. At the top of a shoulder press, they are are maybe a little wider then a spindle bar, but if you really need to you can twist your wrist a little to get them closer (y)

This kind of set up does sound appealing ie being able to dial the weight you want but in reality I think the size of the weights are too big (more like curling 2 barbells).

Yes, but that's still 50 quid cheaper than this for 12.5kg extra on each dumbell. Thought I'd been clear but I've now reworded my post so as not to confuse.

Firstly, current prices for home gym equipment are massively over inflated, wait a few weeks and prices will drop like a lead balloon, eBay will be flooded with bargains as people go back to the Gyms, secondly everyone who knows anything about weight training will tell you cast weights are the affordable way to go, they will last a lifetime and if needs be you will almost get your money back should you wish to sell on.

Slight exaggeration, these won't crack or "turn to dust" if dropped. This is a great set if just starting out, don't listen to the negative Nancy's.

Do you even lift bro?

Too narrow - good for close grip bench

Plastic coated and cement filled. Bulky and will crack if dropped. Cast iron are more expensive because they don’t turn to dust if impacted. There’s a difference in price between the two types

Ok I will.. anyone can swing a 16kg. It’s takes technique not strength

What kind of advice is this?! You start from where you are comfortable and build up from there. There is no 'one size fits all' approach, everyone is unique. Stick to pimping. P.s. You're*

I imagine a man or woman that has been injured or born with some kinda of problem, might not. Or simply is weaker for whatever reason. A lot of people quick to judge on here, considering nobody is perfect it's a shame.

Why would they Seriously every man could swing a 16kg

Guaranteed, even with the world's strongest man.

Should do - Olympic plates are two inch (51mm) diameter.

So daft question, so Olympic plates will fit on this pulley for example?

I would guess it is to lock you in to buying their kit (which to be fair is very good value when in stock). I've used

Fair play, sounds a bit naff!

No - sorry - "standard" plates and bars are both 25mm. Decathlon/Domyos plates and bars are both 28mm. So Decathlon plates will fit on a standard bar (a little loose but not significant), but standard plates will not fit on a Decathlon/Domyos bar. Speaking from experience as I've had plenty of both. As far as I know 28mm is a Decathlon-specific size.
