Hi all.
I have very recently started doing free weight squats to strengthen my dodgy knee.
All is going well! So well in fact, that I need moar iron to keep progression in line with my 5 meals a day eating plan.

Don't need any other bits, just any one inch fitting cast iron weight plates that are >= 5kg (prefer 10, 15s)

Got any lying around? Can exchange for golden nuggets or cleaning services.

Ditch the 1" stuff. Its a royal pain, and in the end never works out very good value as you need so many of the plates to make a decent weight, plus the diameter is wrong for deadlifting etc.

All in all they kinda suck. Just my 2pence. Good luck with your knee. I also used barbell squats for a similar purpose. Knee is pretty much as good as new, despite tearing meniscus and cruciate ligaments.

I appreciate the advice - am keeping half an eye open for an olympic setup.. but that needs more space (and $$$s) than I have at home.
Will make do for now.

Would also be happy to accept weights on loan, for those people who are too attached to material things and good intentions.

Check your garages please.

I found a couple of small plates being used as doorstops by my brother...
replaced them with wadges of cardboard.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
