Yes, well, as long as the free stuff isn't 300-Pound Olympic Weight Set
I recently bought a 300lb weight set, one thing I found out through my research was that I don't know the first thing about a nice bar (knurling types and location, argh) and weight seems to cost about $1 per lb.
I ended up buying a VTX by Troy set, 300lbs, including the bar, which was $439 with free shipping. (Here's a link if you're interested: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000MX5ZS2/)
That set for $200 is priced very aggressively. So aggressively that I'd be suspicious. Bodybuilding is a pretty reputable site, and the price on amazon is about 2x. There are some complaints about rough quality on the weights, but that's easily dealt with with either a dremel or chisel.
My opinion, that appears to be a hell of a deal on a low range product and it'll definitely get the job done.edit: Just clicked on Order, the shipping is $111.92. There's the catch!
Is this good?
