I'm just starting out with weight lifting, and I don't have a lot of money (<$1000 total) or space, so I'm looking for a pair of spinlock handles that I'll get some cheap pancake plates for + a bench and pullup bar as basically my whole setup, but I'm having a hard time finding handles with the right specs:
- spinlock as mentioned for cheapness, space efficiency, and faster switching than pro-style while higher weight capacity than adjustables
- overall quality steel with steel handle, preferably medium knurl
- 16in length, long enough to load up to decent weight (~125 each, ~250lbs total) for squats, deadlifts, etc but not so long the ends hit each other during deadlifts, presses, etc
- handle length (total inner length between weights) of 5.5-6in for enough thigh space for deadlifts
- handle width of around 1.5in for somewhat fatter grip for better forearm work
- not more than $200-300 for just the handles
I've spent a few days looking, but I've yet to find what I need. Most have thinner and shorter handles, and build quality is usually crap.
Any suggestions? Is there somewhere I should be looking that I don't know about?
