Congrats APie on your PL meet....how was the vibe? I've never done PL meets, but I've got some Strongman event experience; those guys are intimidating as fuck, but they're beyond helpful and all pretty cool. Just curious to see how the PL community is.
Instead of buying a bunch of metal pipes and old weights (I've got a couple of these in my shed; metal pipe $$$$ creeps up on you fast), why not a DIY sandbag? Use an old backpack or duffel, or else spend $15 at an Army/Navy store for a military duffel. Buy 2-3 boxes of freezer bags, some duct tape, and a couple 50# bags of sand (home depot). Fill a freezer bag about halfway full with sand, close it, tape it, and place it inside another freezer bag and seal it. Each freezer bag should be about 5# or so, and you will look like Heisenberg while you're doing it. Repeat until your bag is as heavy as required. About $25 out the door.
