Add-on plates? Where can I buy additional plates compatible with these dumbbell's handle? I would probably need to go up to 35 lbs on each at this moment.

These are standard weight plates with an (approximately) 1" hole in them. I'd look locally at garage sales and craigslist before I bought new, or scout around for sales at Wal-Mart/Sport Authority. I bought 100# of steel plates (not the plastic ones) from craigslist for $60 and then picked up a couple 25# steel plates at Sports Authority on sale for $18 each. It shouldn't be too hard to find something that fits your needs.

Dick's Sporting Goods has plates for $1.00 per pound and they are much nicer looking than the Cap plates you can buy on Amazon.

Ask your friends, even. A lot of people have weights just laying around their house they don't use anymore. As other people said, this set uses standard size weights.

One of the reviewers of the dumbbell set referred people to this site and said it's the cheapest he could find for add-on plates. http://www.warehousefitness.com/exercise-equipment/RDD/default.aspxHope this helps!

I think you could actually make some, I have been thinking about it myself. I was on the total gym website and I like the new handles they have as well. I also like the foot bar they have which is taller than the thing that comes with the total body works. I showed it to my husband and he is going to make me a similar one, seems pretty simple if you can weld or bend metal tubing. It would be nice if they offer accessories like that, but I think for now it would be pretty easy to make your own.

Use standard flat plate weights that have a 1" hole when using the Total Gym Weight Bar.The maximum user weight plus additional weight must not exceed 300 pounds when a person uses the Total Gym Weight Bar with the Total Gym.When using the weight bar the weight should be added equally and evenly to both sides of the weight bar when stacking plate weights.Do not stack more than 25 pounds per side without adding equal weight to the opposite side of the bar.1" weight spring clip collars must be installed when the weight bar is in use.

We bought the Olympic bar and 300lbs of plates at Sears. So far from what I've seen, any Olympic weight set should work. The holes in the middle of the weights have fit so far from Sears and Sports Authority I think as long as they are Olympic ones.

The 300lbs is for the total gym itself so nothing fails during use to avoid injury. Bar doesn't have a ton of room on each side for plates. You can fit a decent amount though.

Weights are not included in the mini leg press. You can buy them at a sports store like Dicks Sporting or others. The plates are not part of the press.

I'll respond with most likely, because there are 2 locations on the weight bar for hanging extra weights. The deal is you have to purchase the 2 extra weights to match the total weight you want to achieve.

For one dumbbell the bar, by itself, weighs 5 lbs. Then each side increases in increments of 2.5 lbs, up to four options, giving you a total of 10 lbs on each side of one dumbbell (total weight = 25 lbs).

I am sure what you are requesting but there isn't any additional equipment for doing squats. I use additional weights when I do squats . Dumbells work good

Don't get them man, They're really very awkward. (try to imagine how long each bar is. They're both made to hold 100lbs in plates!) 18-20 inches long. If you're used to extending to where the weights almost touch you will dislike them. If you go straight up and down like a robot then I def recommend them. Start buying sold dumbbells one by one. It will be worth the money.

They can fit like 25lb plates. How would a rack assist with deadlifts? lol. Go buy a cheap flat bench and you do bench press. Its worth the money. I have one and love it.

Hi Jana, These units do not come with weights. The post they have on them are 1", so they fit standard weight plates without using an adapter. If you have Olympic plates with a 2" hole, you can purchase an Olympic adapter to slide on the post. Hope that helps. Thanks, Andy

Yes, and you can adjust it by 2.5lb steps as it has two 2.5lb cylinders inside the handle that are removable. You can also get extension kits that can go up to 130lbs per dumbbell. some other models you cannot extend.

I am not sure, as I have had it for a couple of years now. However I seem to recall that there is not a kit, and extra weights cannot be added.

Any Olympic and bumper plate for just fine on these. I have these attached to my rack and all my plates (Olympic and bumper) fit perfectly to give the rack more weight when I'm doing dips and pull-ups. Good buy!

They should take the 1" diameter standard weights, but not Olympic. So you could get each dumbbell higher than 100 lbs a piece by buying separate 25 lb plates yes.

Bar is included, weights are not.Any standard weight plates will work with it (example: http://worldfitnessnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/weight-plates.jpg)
