    I really debated about starting a log. This journey gets very personal at times. It's hard to announce to the world things you didn't even want to admit to yourself. But that's why I did it. It needed to be right in front of me so I could deal with it head on. And I needed support to get through it. Who would have thought I'd find that here of all places. :lol: But I did. These guys have been a great help and encouragement through some tough times for me and they probably don't even realize it. - Pagangoddess

Hi,

Any one know where to get cheap/2nd hand weight plates (think there called that). I have numerous iron ones but need some 10's and 20 KG plates.

Cheers!!

Standard and Olympic refer not to the length but rather the type, they both come in various lengths. From a practical standpoint, Standard bars accept plates with 1" holes and Olympic take plates with 2" holes.
