|
|
I'm doing a strength training program and I am trying to find 1kg olympic barbell plates (or 2.5 pound plates). Does anybody have any idea where I could get them, or what do you even call them in Korean so I can look for them on Gmarket?
Note: I was able to find 1kg 바벨 역기 but the ones on Gmarket are for "standard" barbells not olympic, so the hole is smaller and will not fit. |

So you already have an olympic bar and bumper plates but are looking for smaller increments? Do you practice olympic lifts at home?
Here's a link to the daum cafe of the Korea Weightlifting Club which has links to amateur clubs in various cities. If you have a Korean friend look over the site with you you can probably find the info or email someone who does.

I've been to LotteMart and I've only seen standard barbell plates - I'm assuming Emart is the same
About the Weightlifting club, I will check it out. I work out at a very typical Korean commercial gym where they have olympic bars, 12 sided plates, and shit else worth anything. If anybody knows a decent powerlifting/Olympic lifting gym that accepts waegs then please let me know.
I just need the smaller increments because they only have about 2.5k and I would like to do microloading. |
