I'm leaning heavily towards the pendlays at this stage.
What I am wondering is does anyone have any feedback on either. Would also be open to looking at other sets if anyone has any suggestions. Does anyone know much about the hercules stuff (DHS economy version)
Also I would defiantly be interested in getting a hold of second hand equipment around this quality if anyone is looking to sell, or knows anyone/club looking to sell some good oly gear
do you have a platform?... you might want to budget for something in that area if you dont to save your bumpers from an early death.
I use the Ironedge premium plates at my gym and they get thrashed by crossfitters all the time and are still in good condition, they are pricey though, they are a lot thinner that the pendalays though, although that only matters if you want to say deadlift with then as well, as the Econo 2's will top out about 230kg on the bar i believe.
I will be building a platform, the classic 3 layers using 5 ply pieces and some horse stall matting, defiantly want to protect the investment. If anyone else has any other suggestions with regards to a platform let me know.
The widths will be similar if I get the elites, I may end up getting the econ's to save some cash, and just get some standard oly plates for deads.
BTW im in Brisbane if anyone can recommend anyone selling second hand stuff
