I don't use CL, only killers and prostatutes use that site.  Any links from a legit site?

I've purchased my whole home gym from CL.  It's legit.

Do you have to meet in a dark alley to purchase them?

I plan to make a whole set out a few lengths of 1 inch round bar cut to various sizes for each dumbell and a shitload of second hand 5kg plates, this can be done relatively cheap but you need access to a lathe for the knurling and be able to weld but it will save a fortune over buying a set

No, I generally buy under "for sale" instead of "casual encounters"

What the fuck do you do with the DBs that the hex DBs break? I've got a bunch of lighter hex DBs and they aren't prone to breakage.

maybe he's like the great jcg, who used to throw them out the third floor window at the old york barbell building to see if they can take it.

Yeah, he owns that gym supply company Funk mentioned, and that's a lot of his personal collection out on the floor. He also sometimes puts on Strongman shows centered around grip strength and odd lifts especially, so that's why you see a lot of halved dumbbells, anvils, and the like. For many years, he was one of the main guys into that sorta stuff.
