That will depend on the bar you have they do not all have the same length sleeve! A standard Olympic bar has 9 and 1/2 inc sleeves and will hold 5 plates plus a locking collar on each side! You can get bars with higher weight ratings and longer sleeves! So the answer is 4 or 5 or more depending on the sleeve length and locking collar you use!

DIY projects are great, but beyond a certain point, they become way more laborious and the final product may not be as good or durable. I am saying this in a general sense; if a carpet is extremely dirty then it's probably better to just throw it out than to wash it for hours because it will never be as good as a new one. Same thing with people making their own protein powders. It is so labour intensive, you're better off buying something from the store.

@JWill6969 9 ай бұрын
This isnt true at all. While adding water to the mix adds weight to the initial mix it does not change the volume of the concrete itself. So as long as you weigh out 50 lbs dry, add water, and let the concrete cure it will be around 50 lbs. Usually a little over because a tiny amount of moisture wont dissipate. (like a pound or 2) this is a great cheap solution 😊

If a person isn't an Olympic weightlifter there's no need to drop a loaded bar at all. I see this way too often in gyms now. If someone drops a deadlift from knee height or crashes the bar down, the bar is too heavy. End of.

I don’t understand why you need to leave it for over a month. I’ve made concrete weights before and I haven’t had to wait nearly that long. I’ve started using concrete weights two days after I make them and I’ve had no problems. Maybe that’s a little fast but I think over a month is way over kill. I would say if you think it really needs a month just be careful with the weights for the first month or so. I don’t see why you wouldn’t be able to use them and just not drop them for two months. I’ve made maces and dumbbells and have had No problems using them days after making them. Have you had them break if you use them to soon? Also, I’ve noticed that people that make these concrete plates. Don’t tend to put any chicken wire or anything else like that in their plates. If I were to make plates, I would add some sort of mesh on the inside for extra strength. Did you do this with yours?
@TheIronMason 11 ай бұрын
That's a good question. I used them for CrossFit and Olympic style lifting. So, not only for Bench, Deadlift, Squat, and other general Bodybuilding exercises. I did not use chicken wire or re-rod because of cost and I'd felt that fiberglass and rubber coating would be strong enough reinforcement. Like I said in the video, I've got no problem with them if they're used for general weightlifting and bodybuilding, but if they're used in exercises that require a lot if dropping I don't necessarily believe they'd be strong enough to withstand that for a prolonged period of time. Plus, cost wise, it wasn't cheaper than rubber weights and the time cost was also factored into that.
@mikesmicroshop4385 3 ай бұрын
You can use them before that but the concrete will not reach maximum strength for around 28 days. So to be sure that they will not break taking it easy on them until they reach full hardness is a good idea. Also, do not coat your weights until they are fully dry, you will know when that is as they will stop losing weight as the water content equalizes.
