HOW TO MAKE DIY CONCRETE WEIGHT PLATES w/ a TRASH CAN!!!

I used less than $10 of concrete to make a set of 45 pound weight lifting plates using cheap trash cans and a little PVC pipe!!! A cheap set of 45 pound cast iron plates will cost you around $150 and name brand weights from Rogue or will run over $300 so I'd say WORTH IT!! I hope you all enjoy the video and be sure to tag me on instagram @modernbuilds if you make some for yourself!

MODERN BUILDS

Hi, My name is Mike Montgomery and I'm a MAKER; a designer, builder, and full-time content creator. Accessibility is my focus with Modern Builds, not simply accessibility of designs, but accessibility in materials, information, and projects themselves. I've focused on creating furniture and DIY projects that are simple enough that any beginner maker can accomplish, yet interesting enough that any expert might be inspired. Building and making is becoming less and less of an exclusive hobby and profession. My goal is to reduce that separation even further.
