#gifts - #Help! Upgrading home strength equipment for brother.


My brother has been into strength training for a little bit now. He goes to the Gym but also spends a lot of time living with our parents and has his own weight set there. Which restricts the size of things as he's shacked up in his old childhood bedroom. From what I can tell he's outgrown his current set up, and he doesn't have heavy enough weights at home. Plus the bar is bending quite a bit atm. I presume that this is supposed to happy but I'm not sure if it will cope with heavier amounts.I was thinking about replacing what he's got. I presume that all I need to do in terms of weights is make the plates denser. So have 10kgs instead of 5kg which is currently the largest he currently owns. I also had a brief look at bars and they seem to be different shapes. Not sure if they are specific to benching or curling, and if it actually makes a difference. Just wondering if there is anything in particular that I should be avoiding or looking for in a new set. Or if a new set is the way forwards and he would benefit more from something else or some accessories. via /r/Gifts https://www.reddit.com/r/Gifts/comments/7l9dvp/help_upgrading_home_strength_equipment_for_brother/?utm_source=ifttt
