Default Anyone know: Free Weights

anyone know where i can get a set of dumbbells, have to be either hexagonal or blocks, round no use to me.

I'd rather not use sand and sport as the likelyhood of getting ripped off is high, does anyone know of a specialist fitness/weightlifting shop

Ta

pics of what i'm after

Why do you want to get them for free?

Anyway, you can get hexagonal dumbbells here:

nothing, except with certain excercises they are a bit ropey. ie pushups holding weights, the round ones tend to want to move about

If it's cheap you're after you could always try the sports shops in Dragonmart - no idea if they have flat-edged dumbells 'tho.

Err, if you were doing press-ups surely your hands would be on the ground???? What are you gonna do, put the weights on your back????
