Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Bought these particular plates for a few they match the cap olympic barbell set i already own and they are economically priced. No complaints with the plates but with the shipping. Price is decent given increase in demand this year. Great price and fr...  Read More

The lip around the edge of the barbell is a good distance to get the tips of my fingers under for that kind of lifting. I recommend clips when using these particular plates, as they will move around on a barbell with 2 inch sleeves.

No major chips or gouges in mine, and paint job is consistent.


Cons

I regret going cheap on this pair of plates. They are lumps of cheap iron that might mar your more expensive equipment. Consider replacing with a better product such as the ivanko/vtx grip plates or the usa plates(have some 100s that are pretty solid)...  Read More

Highlights

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Quality

I have no issues with the quality of them - no major chips or gouges in mine, and paint job is consistent (i ordered 2).

They seem to be in good working order for a 45lbs plate and do the job great

These that i ordered from amazon are much higher quality with smooth edges that wont scratch up my bar.

Get out or purchase an el cheapo coarse rounded file and fix the inner hole within a few minutes.

Price

These are the most cost effective and look the best.

Price is decent given increase in demand this year.

Update: i increased my star rating from 3 to 4 b/c i bought these 4 years ago for $40 each, which is now a steal!

Shipping

Shipping was fast and i got them for a good price.

I ordered 2 45lb plates and no surprise was shipped in 2 boxes.

No complaints with the plates but with the shipping.

Packaging/appearance

Putting a 45lb weight each in a flimsy cardboard box that is roughly 2'x3' and stuffing it with packaging paper is just asking for trouble.

The only problem was the packaging was torn all to pieces causing some cosmetic issues.

Competitiveness

It would be different if they were purchased used from a garage sale or play it again sports.

This is not a deal breaker for me, but it is something amazon should look at as other customers might be more disappointed than...  Read More

    Prosexpedient shippingplates weighed in at 45 pounds on my scaledurable one fell about a foot onto concrete and remains intact which it should given its cast ironconcenter hole is significantly larger than 2 inches which means it’ll torque on a 2 inch barbell sleeve unless clips are usedoverallthe plates are functional

    First plate was shipped in the right size box no problem but second plate was shipped in a huge box with no stuffing so when it arrived the box was flat busted and open
