Hi.

I need some stuff to supplement my fantastically cheap gym:

a couple of strong collars for weightlifting, not spring collars.

a couple of small olympic plates - 2*1.25 kg or 2*2 1/2 pounds
(or ankle weights, weighted gloves etc I can slide on the bar instead)

Any recommendations, or places I can look?

Thanks. I did have a little look on gmarket, but I can't find 1.25 kg weights to go on a bar or collars, not with my searches anyway.

The above link has both 1.25kg and 2.5kg.

I also found this:

Hope that helps.

There is a used market near Sinseoldong where someone had weights and collars like this for sale. Sorry, I didn't get a price.

[antsea]

Thanks. I might have a look.

I've seen a variety of options at Home Plus. We also have quite a few local sporting good stores in our city that have all kinds of weights and accessories.

How about this:

The craigslist ad has expired unfortunately.

The gmarket collars linked to are not actually olympic size which is 50mm I believe.

The weights don't say, but don't look it.

I might try homeplus, and try a sport store if anyone's got any concrete suggestions still appreciated tx.
