This is in India. On Amazon most of the stuff seems very low quality. Reviews average around three starts, with loads of wonderland four/five star reviews and a load of one star ones, so the variation is very high.
So far I have looked at rubber plates, bars, and resistance bands.
Is Amazon like this where you are at too? I don’t buy anything from Amazon usually but have been pigeonholed because where I am living right now is in the middle of nowhere and I have no access to personal transportation aside from a bicycle, and with lockdown reinstated even having a car wouldn’t be very helpful.
I’ll try Ali Express. I have also been trying to get in touch with a local gym equipment shop but they aren’t responding to phone calls for whatever reason. Kinda anxious because curfew is gonna begin from tonight.
But Ali Express seems like a good bet.
I don’t know if you’ve ever used aliexpress before but here are some tips (and if anything they can help other people who’ve never used it):
Honestly I’ve had everything from fake materials to really high-quality stuff for cheap (my personal favorite are my true bluetooth earphones that do everything airpods but they cost like 20 bucks).
Cause if you buy weights you don’t want them to break down on you when you’re lifting them.
