Cheapest place to get plates/dumbells?

JIB-89 — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 21:45:57 +0800

I just started training at EITP Damansara Jaya recently, place is pretty well equipped although the stuff there is pretty old... buuuuttttt the dumbells are only up to 28kg and they only got about 190kg of plates that can fit the barbell, the rest of the plates are for eazybar, anyone know a good place i can find an adjustable dumbell up to 100lbs and also 10kg-20kg plates? maybe a gym selling 2nd hand perhaps?

ive been reading up on a few of the journals here, seems lots of members here are nice and helpful so i decided to give it a shot

A little bit 'bout my background

grew up doing typical bodybuilding routines to gain mass, never bothered to get cut and was trying to increase strength using a BB routine so i lost a lot of time on that.... the gym i came from didnt have a squat or power rack, dumbells were only up to 24kg... so yeah, had problems then.. just recently trying out a powerlifting routine for about 2 weeks now

current 1-rep max:

Bench: 130kg
deadlift: 190kg
Squat: 150kg (160kg now)

weight around 90-ish kg so yes i have a long way to go(will probably plan on getting lean after i increase my strength).... so pls spare me the flaming and stupid comments

trying to get the hang of max effort and dynamic effort days

Any advice given is greatly appreciated.

will start posting my journal soon
