Scroll down a bit to find individual weight plate pairs - prices include shipping. These plates fit on the Oly style bars (fatter ends where the plates go on). All the plates are the same diameter, the heavier ones are thicker. I've ordered quite a bit from Rogue and they are AWESOME. Super fast shipping, super fast returns, just great all around. I love them.

Oddly enough, deadlifts and rows don't bother my arm. The worst offender is the hammer curl exercise. I avoid those. Regular biceps curls seem to be OK.

body weight squat split squat (or stationary lunge) single leg squat (kind of like a dip without setting back foot down) one legged step-up with a knee drive I think that someone with iffy knees could also adapt this for use with some support, like a TRX type system while working up to it.

Karen, I got the link to work. Thanks!
I have Mike Robertson's Bulletproof Knees book and I have been doing some of the stuff he recommends: foam rolling, hip mobility, ankle mobility, static stretching. Plus, glute activation exercises. I need to add single leg lifts. Hi Sophie! (I had thought that maybe you were sick of my whining.) Sorry about the hamstring. Owwwiiieee! I agree I have to be more flexible in my thinking than I used to be. I have to go by how my body is feeling as opposed to what is the plan for the day.

Yes, they DO!!!!! I will warn you that the site is dangerous - the combo of the AWESOME stuff they carry and PayPal? I'm there WAY WAY WAY too often.

Naturally, I found an article where the writer feels that weighted hip thrusts (glute bridges) are bad:
http://www.rdlfitness.com/avoid-the-hip-thrust/ It is interesting to read different viewpoints!
