weight benches

I recently purchased a 300 lb. Olypic set from a local retailer (not Amazon). Several of the plates would not fit the barbell due to excessive cast material. I contacted CAP and sent pictures. After an initial e-mail acknowledging that I had lodged a complaint I have heard nothing further and in the mean time I have several plates I can't use unless I grind the excess myself. My set has a baked on enamel finish and this would require removing the paint. Next time I'll buy YORK.

I ordered the weight set from picnic world, they sent me the innacurate set with a bar missing an end. They tried to rectify the situation by sending me a replacement piece. Of course they sent the wrong piece, then they started harrassing me about my refund that amazon provided. I told them I would revoke the claim when they sent me the replacement part. So now here it is two months later and I'm returning it to them. What a pain this has been,

my advice,

dont order from picnic world

2. The plate coating is very nice.
3. The plates have just enough of a single sided lip on them for handling, but are not as easy to handle as plates with hand holds, double lips, or both. This shouldn't be a problem unless you are particular.
4. The chrome plated bar is very... Read more
