I've never seen any that big, same with the Platemates. I usually just get a bunch and start slapping them on, but it would take a lot on both ends to get 2 1/2 lbs. Better the wrist weights. If you have the type my Dad got from the PT, they have slits in them and you can stuff in these little metal pieces to get what you want. I loved that answer about the soup cans. Innovative, but I'd tie them on and fill them with something.

: I am aware of the platemate, but I AM cheap like you. Wrist
: weights are cheaper. I am guessing the magnets at home depot are
: even cheaper. Do they have magnets in the range of 2.5lbs? Can
: you weight them at the store?

: Hey Geore. It should be. However, on the market you can buy
: these little magnetic discs, FractionalPlates, Platemates, etc
: in various smallweight sizes that will stick to your DB. Also,
: if you're real heap like me, you can go to the Homedepot, Lowes
: or other fix-it-yourself type store and get little magnets in
: various sizes.
