I havent bought the handles yet. I do have some good Olypic collars that are about 5lbs each though. I am thinking the handles are around 5-10lbs each but not sure. I am looking to buy some to add to the rest of my weights I have at home. I already have an Olympic 7ft (the thick ass bar, not sure of the thickness). I have the olypic bench and 300lbs of weight. I am getting ready to buy 300 more pounds of Olympic plates and a combonation dip/pullup station this week. I was also thinking of buying some handles so I could use dumbells. The hell with lifting at a gym!!!
