Pros & Cons
Pros
The 45's are beasts. The handles are very convenient, especially on the 45s. These plates are convenient to grip and are easy to add/remove from equipment. They are perfect and fit perfect on my our 2 inch olympic bar.
Well packaged, padded and in 2 layers of fitted boxes with heavy duty tape. Finish is nice if not nicer then what * sells. Pleasantly surprised, plates are good quality.
Price is fair and perhaps even a bit lower than current market value for in-store weight purchases. Less complicated, more assured. No inconsistencies in manufacture. Highest +4.
Cons
This barbell has a 1 inch diameter that fits standard bars not a 2 inch diameter. The silver cap paint rubs off with my finger with little effort. This means black flakes on my floor, on my bar, in my eyes, etc.
All four 5s missed crucial steps in the finishing process. Don't waste you time. Do yourself a favor and just spend a few extra bucks to get proper plates from rogue or something.
While the durability is impressive, the lack of a good fit and the loud clanking noise make this product hard to recommend. Great packaging but very substandard finish. Not as advertised.

Pros- great grip holes to use with out a bar.

Price
Easily a five star review for the price.
First, let me say that i bought two each 25 pound plates on a black friday deal for about $22 each.
Personally i’m glad more people don’t like them - if they did, we’d all have to pay higher prices lol
Packaging/appearance
Also wrapped in plastic and a double cardboard box.
Competitiveness
These are basically half the price of the other leading brands that you’d find online.
If you are not competing, then you do not need expensive weights and plus, most weights aren’t calibrated, which is what you wo... Read More
