In my endeavors to get better at BJJ and swimming, and increase my killing power, I recently purchased a set of weights. As I am impatient, I went to a Big Five and purchased a 100 pound set of chi-com **** and a bench, and two 45 pound plates. I also ordered Mark Rippetoe's book, which is awesome but was in the mail at the time of purchase and so could not forewarn me of my blunder.
As it turned out, the bar which came with the weight set had a limit of a hundred pounds. Which makes it fine for tabata-type stuff, but I'm trying to increase gain strength. Thus, I ask, How do (Where do) buy a good weight set?
