I was able to pick up a good weight bench set with nice attachments but i'm stuck on getting a nice weight set of at least 300 pounds and the type you run into in most gyms(ya know with the bigger holes ) Anyone able to point me in the right direction?

Go to walmart..You can get 45lb plates for $20 and 25lb plates for under $10 and these are olympic plates (the big hole)...I get them there all the time and once in a while they are on sale..Also check like a want ad or classified ads,alot of people get gung ho and go out and spend alot of money then 3 months later they give the **** away..

Bump on Walmart. The shipping is going to eat up any bit of savings on mail ordering the weights. I mail ordered the olympic bar, rack and chin-up/dip station (from NY barbell), but I pick up a weight or two whenever I do my big monthly shopping trip to Super Walmart. Sears also sells an olympic set - may want to watch for a sale.

Yes, ironically, shipping will likely be more costly than the plate value. NY barbell is great for benches and racks.

Yeah, one hell of a rock No , I looked at my local wal mart/sears/sams club/ebay(local) and found zero and the local sport stores want damn near a dollar a pound and that's with me still having to buy the bars. I just wanted a set that was solid and would last and that I could put to use when I couldn't make it to the gym instead of sitting here typing ****
