    Hi,

    Limited weight stacks in my gym.
    Any place I can get reasonably priced extra weight I can bring with me to put on top ?

    Also I've seen mention of magnetic add-ons for plates for bench/squat etc for when you want to go up by small amounts...anyone any experience of these ?

    thanks in advance

    If the entire weight stack is too light, then I don't think adding a small magnetic weight will be much use.

    Any idea where you can purchase weight stacks for cable machines.

    From cable machine manufacturers and suppliers.

    Then why ask? That's the only pkave you'll get then. They aren't a consumer item, and a lot are specific to particular brands or ranges.
