i got the stick dumbells, where you can put the weight on them. only go up to 60lbs though. my weights are like 1 1/2 thick...i have a cheap peice of crap weider weight set. in about a week when 60lb is too little....im gonna just have to stick with barbell for good. until i cant fit anymore weights on my barbell, then ill have to get some thinner, heavier metal plate weights.
