To further improve the strength of the plates, you could spray them with truck bed liner to give them a rubber coating. You could also put some square pieces of chicken wire sandwiched between the concrete to add some rebar support. Great video!

I’ve probably watched 20+ KZfaq videos on how to make concrete weights before I got to yours and I think I like yours the best. Your presentation was thorough, clear and concise. Not to mention your weights look the best I’ve seen so far, especially with the beveled edge. Great job!

Great detail, one little suggestion... Step 3b- use a bathroom scale to weigh your concrete, add a pound or two for water evaporation

Really enjoyed this bro. I think I'm going to use your method as opposed to some of the other tutorials I've seen as it's the most beginner-friendly. Thanks!

Came for the concrete weights tutorial . Subscribed because this is one of the most straightforward and thorough tutorials on KZfaq . Can’t wait to see the rest.

Big fan of how you've included all the little 'special tips' for making the job easier (e.g., using a sawzall to remove air bubbles, mounting plate on a pipe to let the grinder do the work). Brilliant, and well-done!

Great work buddy, simple and effective. Hands down one of the best tutorials on youtube 👍

If you read this, I want to let you know that you are doing a fantastic job! Please keep them coming!

This was so helpful. Thank you for the measurements and all your hard work.

Incredible tutorial brother. Exactly what I been looking for, how to just make it all.

Thank you so much for the comprehensive Ebook! I was ready to pay for it made me even more happy that I didnt have to :D

You explained it a lot better than most other guys. Thanks.

Amazing content and great video quality. Keep it up!

Amazing video, thanks for sharing!

Damm u are very informative and instructions very clear and easy to understand thanks for the video and keep grinding 💪🏾

great video mate, keep it up

Amazing content keep it up 🔥🔥😍😍😍💪🏻💪🏻

Thank you and I hope I can figure this out because I've never poured concrete before LoL but I guess I got to learn some time in my life since I own my own home and it will make repairs cheaper

Woww amazing!! Keep it up👑

Good stuff Kevin 💯

thanks for the ebook, youre cool for that, love from india

Nice job!

Great job 👏 🇨🇦

Best tutorial I've watched ,the comments are great to

Yes man. My future gains acknowledge your wisdom

Thanks men 🙏🏿

que buen trabajo brother..!!

On the mold... Just buy a cooler tub. They cost about $8... Have 17inch base, are perfectly round, are plastic so concrete wont stick. They are water tight so you can use a wetter mix... And bonus you can pond cure the plates in them for say 3 days after they set so your concrete gets to full strength.

thank you

Brilliant

This video must reach 1m views

thanks

Thank you so much. Very informative! Can you make these in the winter?

WE WANT YOU BACK PLEASEE!!!!

some guy stole your idea and is selling the same book your doing for free, great idea ill be making these today

Try to keep your concrete plates underwater for bout a week. This will make it harder and stronger. Don't ever let it get too dry. The first 24 hours keep spraying it with water. And then when you pull it out the mold put it underwater for like 5 days. Then let it dry out finally. If you dont keep it wet and just let it dry out in like 24 hours your concrete is only gonna be like 25% its true potential in hardness.

Really appreciate the content man! I was wondering, Where did you get your fibermesh?

Congrats, athlete, & entrepreneur....good for you. May the Lord bless.

Good evening!!! Could you make a video showing the measurements of sand, cement and gravel to make the rings?????

Great post here. What size flashing are you using as far as height? And the middle piece that is fixed on the board - what is that being used?

I definitely appreciate the video but you might try making sure that the surface that you set these on are level in the future man. It definitely looks like some of those weights are thicker on one side than the other.

Could you also use a Metal pipe for the plate sleeve? I dont know how good the abs/pvc pipes will be when it comes to *sliding onto the barbell*

Thank god a video where i dont have to spend lots of money on a mould

Hi great video ! Can I ask you a few questions ? What is the final density of your concrete ? I mean how do you know what size to make your molds so you can get the weight you want ? Also how do you make sure the weights are all the same weight so they are balanced on the barbell ? Thanks a million.

hey, how do you make sure the weight is accurate? depending on how much water you use, shouldnt it vary a bit?

Instead of surface grinding so the plate is easier to hold you can from the start create a circular funnel around the inside edge of the plate while the cement is still wet and malleable.

How do you know the weight you make? or how do you make a specefic weight?

Good content! Im trying to do concrete weights but I can't find aluminum flashing in my country. Do you have a link that I can use to get it?

Hi, this is very interesting and well explained! However I can't find aluminum flashing where I live (third world island), and it's going to be hard to find any kind of metal sheet that thin. Is there anything else you could recommend? And what about iron mesh to strengthen the concrete?

Great video bro. I'm making also concrete weights. Question: after you demold it, do you use a method for curing? Or just let the natural process. Also how would you paint on the surface?

Can i add a wire mash or fibreglass to the concrete to make it less likely to brake?

where do you get the fibres from (what kind of store or use?)

My friend , when I try to click on your ebook link it does not appear for me , is your website down?

Do you directly by chance sell them [concrete plates,dumbells] also, I'm aware of the book youve mentioned

Could i just use the quikrete pro finish that already has the fibers in it and skip adding the fibers

Please tell if Can we do heavy Olympic lifts with these concrete weights (100kg or more)? If we use a floor mat or so.

Hello, first time viewer of your channel. I'm planning to make some of these plates I just have one question. Whats the cost for all the materials?

bro how did you get the hole in the center tho i know i know simple but ..

Can I ask you how thick is the aluminum flashing in mm?

Bro, thank you for your valuable content. Just ordered your e-book. It's great! BTW what are your thoughts on coloring concrete? Is it worth it? I've been making concrete plates for 2months now. Never got good results coloring them.. I've used different types of color , putting primer before I color. Never got good results so far. They look ugly.. Is it even worth it to color them? Have you thought about different types of molds? Like sylicone of liquid rubber or something like that? In my opinion they could be more convenient. Do you have something to recommend?

What do you do with the waste from mixing the concrete?

where did you buy those fibers you add??? or do just use fiber glass? thanks

How do u make sure the weight is correct with the concrete mixture

Did we need to add some iron stick into the concrete so the concrete more strengh?

the drying must be done at sade or under the sun ?

how to make them durable and resistant? ... ... what did you put in it?

A DIY barbell would be appreciated if u havent already. Im going to search ur channel now.

Hey Kev, great stuff but how do you make sure that the plates weigh the same

GAINZ TRAIN

Instead of grinding the concrete, could I just spray it with bedliner? Would that be sufficient

hello can you tell us the dimensions for every disk plate you made ??

I didnt see the ebook on the link in your description.

I'm using 40litre plastic buckets. Can I just leave the concrete for 24-48 hours or would you still recommend taken the weight out after 12 hours so it's easier to rake out.

What’s the diameter for the aluminium for each weight??

First, well done, great video. What kind of fiber would you recommend to put in the concrete? I think you suggestion to cover the plates (question by another poster) of truck bed liner spray was brilliant. I've watched several videos on the topic of making your own concrete plates and yours by far is the best.

I’m interested, do you still run your business and did it go well? Since I have all the tools you need I am interested in selling some as well.

How to buy aluminium flashing

Great - steel 2 $$$$$

Great video. Plates are waaaay to expensive for what they are. You take a 45lb plate to the scrap yard, they will only give you a $1

Has anyone actually tried this if so how did they hold up?

can I do 50kg plates? i mean each of them will be 50kg. is it possible?

Looks great but how do you know they come out at exactly 45 lbs?

How much do you sell yours for?

Anyone figure out how to make larger plates

You can just but wooden dowels instead of having to make your own and gut them to length.

What's the fiber to concrete ratio?

What's the intire price of this

5:45 ah. oh. ok.

looks like you used chip board

Careful with dat aluminum they sharp as hell and will cut you

Dont just blaah blaaah blaah. Do it.!!

Based ooga booga lifter

or you could just put plastic bag on the mold then you dont need anything to get it out just tip it over
