Introduction: How to Make Homemade Weigth Set

Steps

Make a cheap kettlebell using a milk or juice jug. Fill a clean, plastic gallon jug or 2 liter bottle (the kind with a handle) with water. Now it is ready for use it as a kettlebell or an arm weight.

Use canned goods that fit in your hands as simple hand weights. Use large canned goods as heavier weights or kettle balls.(DOESNT MATTER WHAT BRAND OF CAN JUST A CAN GOODS)

Fill a clean sock with pebbles or dry beans. Sew or glue the open end closed. Then sew the ends together (or attach with Velcro) and use as a wrist weight.

Use packets of rice or beans for mini-weights. No need to do anything else than use them for bicep curls and other small weight-lifting moves.

If you're really looking to get a workout, try filling a 5-gallon bucket with anything that suits you, from sand to rocks or even water. Use it to do curls or attatch two of them to a bar or board and use as a bench press.

Another technique for home made kettlebells is to wrap a rope around the handle of a dumbbell. The thicker the rope, the more this will work your grip. [1]. Grab both ends of the rope so the dumbbell hangs below your hand. Now you can do swings and presses and have the displaced weigth effect of kettlebells. When you need to adjust the weight, simply use a different size dumbbell.
