Wow this news to me, but it has been a while since I went and got weights, when I did I just walked into my local Pep Boys with a tire and wheel and showed them what I was using them for and they handed me 12 sticks for free. The crawling here is great but all the BS laws and rules is why I call it Calif. LOL!!!!!

Nobody ever told me not to lick them, toads neither

Grab some on eBay, pretty cheap.
