      My girlfriends been doing stronglifts for 6 weeks or so, she's squatting 60kg (more than bw) for reps, but her upper body is much weaker, she's finally benching the bar (20kg) but I need some smaller weights as a 2.5kg increase every time is a lot, I put 2.5kg on my squat and it's less than 2% difference, she puts 2.5kg on her bench and we're talking a 12.5% jump so it's quite a progression.

      Anyone know where I can buy 2 500g olympic bar weights for cheap? I've seen em for £25+ which seems fockin outrageous, but Ill pay that if I have to.

      reps for a good place to buy em

      The reason they are so expensive is that they are calibrated competition disks 500gs and 250gs

      Wouldn't collars be around that weight and I cheaper option, I've seen people with 5 sets of spring collars each side to add smaller weight increments before.
