This video shows How to make your own weights! ideal for benchpress, squats or overhead press.
also great for any plate loaded equipment! (leg press, hammerstrenght, ...)
thanks for watching!
Idk why everyone here is complaining... why would you spend like 500 on a set of plates when you can spend 20,000 on this equipment and spend days practicing with fabrication. Easy choice for me... thanks for this easy and simple guide! Never saved more!
Where can I find this $8,000 machine so I can make my own concrete mold. Trying to save as much money as I can.
Walter Sousa hire a welder
😂😂😂😂, what a dump truck right.
HAHAHAHA
I was sitting here shaking my head with my mouth hanging open, and your comment perfectly expressed my amusement.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
I used a 45cm round cake mould, pretty cheap and it is a perfect circle
No shuch thing😂
Anyone in here trying to lift during lockdown?
Yup! Me for sure
welding my rack, barbell is ordered, now im going to try making your concrete weights!
i bought 50 kg cement, 100 kg sand and 6 kg iron sticks and will try to make my plate set
@@apollo44 how did it go?
@@Simon-jg4qf i almost finished.
my concrete plates were slighly making dust from its border. and i added one more process and i covered them 👍
Because everyone has access to a million dollars worth of fab equipment
Oscar Lopez no shit. One would think the guy could spring the extra money for cast iron plates
Some of you guys are salty af. What about this process screams wealth? A lot of people in blue collar jobs are allowed to use their employer's/shop's fab equipment. First off, what he did is fucking inexpensive; concrete is $6 a bag and iron/steel is ghastly expensive. He used less than $50 worth of metal to create the mold and now he can build as many as he wants and sell concrete plates if he wants. He made perfect consistent plates. There's other ways and all you need to do is look on the right side for the related videos.
If you're pissed because of his methods, YOU ARE NOT THE INTENDED AUDIENCE.
@literally not z except you could ask local shop to make it for you for >100$, including the materials, lmfao.
@literally not z depends on where you live the price can be much much higher, even for used ones (if you can find them at all). I got myself almost identical mold made out of fiberglass, paid 50$ at a local boat making shop, and for 100$ total I have 440lbs of weights AND Olympic bar length of steel pipe. If concrete breaks another 440lbs are just 30$ of concrete mix and few hours of work away.
@literally not z if manufacturer didn't list the details about cement hydration you can test it yourself. Once you have approximate idea how much water will stay in the mixture you can weight the dry mass and water, if you do it equal every time the final cured mix will be 99% same, and you'll probably hit your target weight right into kilo. Personally I don't care how heavy they are as long as they are pushing my limits, I just make sure they are both the same weight (which I do by preparing two identical mixtures).
Best yet. Genius on the metal forms.
i think the title is a little disingenuous. "VERY EASY GUIDE!" is not accurate. this could be done at home much easier though with more basic tools, would just be a slightly less efficient process.
@cavemanweights
Keep up the hard work everyone! We'll get through these times.💪
For deadlifts, make the diameter of the concrete plates slightly smaller than the iron plates, now the iron plates take the weight and the concrete doesn't crack
gusjeazer thats a great idea! Only if you deadlift to heavy, maybe the iron plates wil suffer to much..
@@brechtnji I had zero problems deadlifting >180kg with just one big plate per side (the rest smaller diameter). I would be confident that it'll hold up just fine till well over 200kg.
Could’ve made steel plates with all of those equipments
All he did was make a mould for the plate and some of you are bitching about that and him having tools. get a bucket for like 5-10$ or something similar in shape along with the cement and follow his instructions on how he used his mould then use your bucket or whatever available and do the same, pour your cement in the bucket then let it sit until dry and your done. No need to bash on a guy with access to equipment.
Ikr lol
Dude that's the coolest thing ever!
lowes sells tub coolers for about $8. They are 16.5 inch at bottom and water tight. 2.5 inches of conrete will be about 50 lbs. dont forget to add some rebar or wire mesh
Se ve que le inviertes a tu entrenamiento! Discos perfectos. Muy buena idea hermano!
Like!
But I don’t have a massive bendy metal boy to use
Good job ! Can u share the dimensions of weight mold and recipe of the mix ? (example : 1 cement, 2 sand, 2 rock etc.) I guess I can do weight mold with 1mm aliminum plate. Thanks and have a good day !
@Bobby Nepinak Thanks for the info.
No dropping the weights at your gym... They'll shatter 😜😜
I have both concrete and iron/plastic bumper plates.. but good to use if you do other exercises with them..
Just add rubber spray paint on it and you have actual rubberized weights..
Jukka L what sort of rubber spray would you use can’t seem to find any
This problem is actually fixed by using a tire as a molding. You create a bottom using styrofoam to keep the concrete from leaving the bottom, use 2’ pvc and stick in the styrofoam to keep upright throughout the process and fill the tire 🤷🏼♂️ you can buy different sizes depending on the weight you’re aiming for, and getting the same tire repeatedly assures the same weight as well. Most local tire places will let you take beat up tires for free because they can’t patch them well enough to drive, but them being in well enough condition to drive is different from them being good enough for weights.
I think is fine but for me is better to use clutch disc from old vehicles..the biggest vehicle biggest clutch...and then make it some adaptation to better weigthliftin
Thats also a great alternative! 👌🤔
Great work mate, unfortunately some of that equipment looks pretty expensive, so unless you already have or have access too it (which most people don't), then it defeats the purpose of building your own weights to save money. But its a cool idea for people who do have access to this stuff to sell the weights at a cheaper price.
I'm looking for a molder like this one... But i couldn't find one... I was anyone could give a free molder like this... So eager to do lifting
lo que me sorprende es como no se perdio la forma cuando las sacaron del molde :C
How long do you wait before flipping the weights out of the frame? What concrete/sand ratio did you use as well?
Great demonstration btw!
Why didn't you put braces in it? It would make them more durable and you could have reached 25kg per plates. Anyway, nice video, too bad I don't own anything to bend metal band nor a welder... But I'm just discovering today the world of cement plates and I find this simply clever! Cheers!
You can bend a thin metal band with bare hands EASILY to make the mold and no welding was required either.. The metal had just two holes drilled in both ends and metal band was connected with metal wire.. ZERO tools required. Except to drill the holes ofc :D
Only tool required sometimes is “a little bit of imagination” thats what i try to achieve, show how it is possible, and then everyone do whats possible for themselves to achieve the same result
@@brechtnji then why didn't you show yourself making it without your exspensive ass equipment? Wait, I know! You wanted to show off that you had exspensive ass equipment.
@@selfishbeats lol what a dumb comment, u can find tons of those videos, he just showed u how he did it, and thx to that, i got ideas to do mine, without his expensive equiment, but with what i got under my hands. He used what he had, wud have been stupid not to... wud u use a handsaw if u had an electric one... use ur brain, be nice and cut ur negativity..
@@m1noladea I was just kind of being an asshole but every good joke has a bit of truth in it.
How long do you need to wait before using the plates? How long does it generally need to dry before use, and also, how durable are they? I would assume they would be prone to chipping and cracking quite a lot, especially with deadlifting from the floor? How resilient are they to just shattering into a million pieces when you handle them with a little roughness lol. I'm going to have to try this in these trying times lol
hi how are you?? please can you tell me the diameter and the hight of the steel disc were you put the concrete?? thank you!!!!!
heigth sorry
diameter of the weight is 45cm and 5cm thick!
Good Morning @Brecht , Quick question, how much time you leave the concrete before you remove it from the iron mold?
Emediatly after filling the mould. You need to make a dry mixture (thats the hardest part). If you make it to wet it wil not keep its shape after demoulding
Hallo 👋! Ik wil dit ook doen en heb vandaag gaas, cement, mixer etc. gekocht om dan in een emmer 🪣 te doen om hetzelfde effect te krijgen. Kan het gaas ervoor zorgen dat her steviger blijft of wat zou ik hiervoor moeten gebruiken? Alvast bedankt!!
Nice job.
Hey man ive made the rest just need to make the centre part. And what is the actual mix you put in these 8 stone 7 sand 7 cement ?
How long did you let the concrete set up before turning it over and dumping it
Yeah I’ll just head on down to my local steal mill. 🙄🙄🙄
if you know a steel fabricator you could just get them to make the frame for you mate
very good
nice job mate, just one question, how are the weights now? and, did the inside, the part sliding on the bar got bad? or its pretty strong? coz i wonder if it breaks down kinda easily on that part. and keep the great work up, nice transformation!
When squating, or benchpressing, the iner-side is holding very good. But for deadlifts i don’t use the plates. You can always pour in a metal ring on the inside, a bit more work, but definitely much stronger.
Brecht thanks for the quick answer. I’ll definitely try it out. I think I read that the plates are 5cm thick and 46 in diameter right?
m1noladea yes, that should be correct👌
Brecht and btw did u use sand and small stones or just cement and water? Danku
Sand, stones, cement, and a little bit of water, like you make normal concrete. But only with much less water. You want to make it sorta dry.
How long did you leave them in the mold before taking them out?
Couldn’t you simply cut down some steel sheets into circles? I mean, the person in the video probably has a plasma cutter.
What is the ratio of concrete to sand rocks?
Jeff Kaiche 3part sand 2 part cement 2 part stone crush or you can get postcrete which is fast sett just add water
hello there anyone can tell me the dimensions of this mold???just to make it right!!!!thx a lot!!!
How long did u wait before flipping it bro?
Manhell 831 depends on the concrete. I flip after 4 hours with quick set. I could flip after 2 but I choose 4 to be safe. Flipping doesn’t necessarily mean the concrete is one hundred percent dry inside, it’s just to get it out of the mould to dry faster. A tip is if the concrete starts to turn white it’s getting dry. If you can knock on it with your knuckles and hear a little “ponk” noise you can flip
Cuales son las medidas del molde ? gracias !
Una pregunta medidas para poder hacerlo te lo agradecería mucho
Very low budget and it still does the job
Would you like to get these done for my gym, will rubberize them afterward
What process would you use to rubberize them just curious or is there a video you can refer me to
@@LORDIVORLON1 liquid rubber. There are products like flex seal and plasti dip.
Everyone here complaining about the fab equipment
YOU DONT NEED IT
Just contact a local metal worker to make 1 mold for you, give them the perameters and wait for it
You can use the same mold again and again and again
yeah all of us have home a workshop like this lol
Yeah probably should put that in the title. What about baking pans
How many radio has every equal weight ?
Yeah for making bodybuilding weights worth 500 dollar need to buy equipment worth 10000 dollars , that's real smart .
Quick and easy guild!
Cuánto pesa cada disco?
19kg
@@brechtnji Muchas gracias! El peso perfecto!
of course i forgot i have a full equipped machine shop in my garage----said no one
Have you made any dumbbells?
What are the deminsions on this
gud
Those plates had a bunch of air holes
Cool shit bruh
Do you sell the molds
Supare Bhai jaan 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Not perfectly smooth and you didn't use rebar or any kind of fencing material to reinforce it and paint them or rubber coat them but close, though.
Its not smooth because I used dry concrete, so i can de-mould immediately. And there actually is some rebar in the concrete to hold it together
@@brechtnji Okay cool. I'll have to watch it again, then. I must've missed something since I'm trying to multitask over here. Where would I go to have these made since I don't have my own welder and plasma cutter? What do you think it would cost?
Maybe you can make a wooden mould?
@@brechtnji Yeah. Maybe but I'm kind of limited on tools, though so I was probably just going to use some trash can/barrel bottoms to start out with. I like the one from @modernbuilds with the handles build in. Check out his video if you haven't seen it already. How To Make DIY Concrete Weight Plates w/ a Trash Can!!!
I came here looking for some easy way to make weight plates turns out u need machines wow
بسیار عالییییییی
You could have made the mold out of plastic or wood...
Maybe that could work to, but i prefer iron (it lasts longer in my opinion). Thanks for reacting!
How much steel did you put inside kg? Must be around 4 kilo
because 22.5cm radius and 5cm hight = 7952.16v X 0.002kg = 15.9 kilo
The weight of concrete is 2400kg per m3.. so 7952 x 0.0024 = 19,08kg
@@brechtnji ok thanks what is the mixture cement sand .....?
Do they weigh 45?
Sell your molds. There's a market right now.
width?
4,5cm aprox
@@brechtnji 4.6cm = 20kg accurate 😁
Of course don't need $50K equipment to make concrete weights but It takes so much time and effort to make perfect concrete weights, And to make their structure long lasting you need to add iron rods and mesh and to save wear and tear you need to add some rubber or leather layer+ paint job and you will end up spending 60% of money of commercial weight and still the end product will be thicker and fragile ..... I will not recommend this
Guys !!! , Please i need help😢
I have the same concret mold, but in the 1:27 minute, the concrete is not really fresh or dry ? When hit at down ?
Yeh because everyone has a friggin workshop.....
tap the hinh dep quá mà con khoe nũa
First you should correct your slogan. It's be like how to manufacture dumbles 😐😑😑
I need home made & hand made, not morndan technology...😡😡
How to make. So first you give us a fancy video of you quickly making the weights, nice.... now to see how... oh the videos over. Dimensions? How much cement? Anything!!!! ahhh right the hypey whiny music. Alright all is forgiven
Are you kidding?
sure those weights are right. 108 kgs bench press with those skinny arse legs? guy didnt even look like he had any arms either? lol
Thanks
