300lbs isn't enough so my idea is to buy 2 sets of 300, I'll have an extra bar but it's still economical. Dicks only has 45s in the fitness gear brand, weider is known brand name though. Another idea is to buy 45lb bumpers which might save me the expense of buying padding to drop the weight on. If I don't go with 2 sets of 300, I'd want 4 more 45s.

Fitness gear 45s are 65/each = 260 more.
The bumper 45s are 90/each = 360 more.

Edit: Also, I'd prefer a 28mm bar if possible but maybe cheap ones are all thick ones.

The black plates look better. I would say just get one and then find additional used plates on offerup or craigslist, but $1/lb seems like a really good price

I'm not a fan of weider plates for whatever reason. Still a good deal. Considering buying one for me, srs.
