home gym with olympic weights

[markh1]

chaps,

Just about to move house and am building a gym in the garden.

My training is mainly the basic movements (squats, deadlifts etc)

I cannot believe how expensive olympic plates are! Apart from secondhand on ebay does anyone know a good supplier at a half reasonable price?

Cheers.

Thanks I will take a look at those companies.

In terms of a rack I was thinking of something along the lines of...

I have not seen these in the metal so no idea how solid they will be but I am sure they will be up to the job. It's only going to be myself and my wife using it and neither of us will use it to anywhere near it's full weight capacity

THanks Mark I have pm'd you.

thanks for the replies gents.

Stupeo, that rack looks good. I don't normally go for pay pay monthly but that is an interesting option they offer as it means on a monthly basis I will be paying less than for a gym membership, I have enough things to spend money on kitting out a new house!

Fingers crossed I am moving next friday so need to get on the case with this!
