I'm looking for a price of a weight set. I'd like one that has a sufficient amount of weights, so I can have progress and I'd like bars and dumbells. I already have a weight bench. I have $200 saved up. {I'm only a teenager}How much can I expect to pay for one of those.
Anybody know the price of a weight set?

Figure about 85 cents a pound (USD) for olympic plates. This means that a pair of 45 pounders is going to eat up about half your budget. Then add in a bar and you are nearing $150. It is possible to find sets cheaper, especially in the "standard" format. a 110 pound set should run just over $100.
I got my first set of oly. weights at Dick's Sporting goods. It was a 300lb set paid about 130$ for it.
Check out a second hand sporting goods store--you might find a deal or two there also!
LOL stopped in Dicks ... that the sporting goods store for the wise guys ... yesterday and I have not seen so many "seen on TV items" in one place before. They had every Ab pos ever made. That being said they are having sales on stuff now. I myself don't bother with Craiglist but know many who have had good luck with it.
ou might look at Modell's, then shop online or other places. Used is good, if you can find what you want ...
