Hi,
Anybody know where the best place to pick up a weight lifting bench/dumbell/barbells/etc. is? Yes, I do realize that there are gyms in every corner of Jakarta, but I am a powerlifter and frankly, the gyms here just don't cut it for weights. If it is helpful, I am in Tebet.
Thanks,

I don't know what the gyms are like where you are (commercial gyms?) but there are many independent gyms around Jakarta, and they have the weight! The guys who lift here are hardcore, but you won't see these guys in the Mcdonalds Gyms.

I've seen a few places in the malls which sell weights but ridiculously expensive!!! I know there is at least one place which supplies equipment & weights to gyms (but I don't hav the address right now) you could ask your admin to do a search in the business directory for wholesale gym supplies??

Alternatively, you could order your own stuff to be built from one of the maany metal working shops around the city.

There's a Dutch guy in the prison near Cempaka Mas. He built a home gym in the nick. I'm sure he'd appreciate a visit!
