Sup /fit/
I have a hand me down set of weights that I started using several months ago. I've since grown strong enough to lift all the plates that I currently own (only around 60lb + bar). I'm trying to think of some cheap ways to build my own plates / weights. I can't go to a gym because the closest one to me is about 40 min away and way overpriced for what they offer.

I'm thinking a few paint cans filled with quickcrete. I might be able to score a free tractor tire too seeing as I live in the fucking woods. So has /fit/ ever made their own weights?

yeah i tried and it was shit. you can get 40kg of plates for less than 30 quid if you shop around. if you want to make something make a decent bench
>>
Sure. I use a backpack, fill it up with various books or water bottles (I can choose the weight that way) and use a hoover pipe as a handle. Been doing curls like that ever since.

please tell me you are joking

I'm looking but I live in an extremely rural location and traveling long ranges for some weights is a little hard for me right now
>>41625941
hmmm, seems like it could work. Maybe I should try a burlap bag filled with sand.

shit nevermind

could try other exercises. weighted pullups and pushups dont need much extra weight to reach your limit

do it when you cant otherwise, but it will be much harder. If you have access to barbells and some weights, it will greatly increase your gains.
not mine

That's retarded and would be wildly unbalanced and dangerous. Your autism did remind me of this though. Pic related

>>41625851
look to buy plates used you can find em cheap as fuck, and since they are metal they dont deteriorate much
