    Extra weight 2.5-5lb

    I'm looking for a source for the small "horseshoe" or "U" shaped weights to add to a cable machine, they just sit on top of the stack around the guide rod....Lat, leg ext/curl etc. I'm in a small high school gym with machines that have 10 or 15 lb increments making single arm/leg work very difficult. Can someone point me in the right direction?

    Not sure if you already bought them but another solution would be to just fasten a 2.5 or 5 lbs plate to the stack using the selection pin. In some cases you may need a longer pin but it usually works well, especially with smaller plates like that.

    Thanks, I've tried that very thing but the added weight on the front of the machine causes the plate to lean forward causing it to rub on the shaft, thus causing friction making it impossible to lift in a fluid motion. Thank you.
