@@Docmcfly233 😂 same. I can think of maybe 2 people I've ever personally worked out with that could even fill the bar with regular thick boi 45s and I'm far from being one of them
Thank you so much! We always take customers reviews and your reviews and work everyday to be better and better! Big things coming and truly appreciate it! Always working hard to help our customers be better!
Why did the steel plate price go up so much? I bought 6*45 lbs plates 2 years ago from you guys, they were so much cheaper then. Steel prices went even higher than during the pandemic?
@shahadataziz624 Hey, how are you! The steel market went up so much that we stopped making them for a bit. Pricing has come down a bit, but it's still much higher than the beginning of the pandemic. We don't see it coming down much more, but at least it's not going up 3X like it was. Seems to have leveled out finally.
I have said this on Facebook before, I bought a set of 45lbs (iron). Quality is impeccable and super versatile. As soon as I get budget approval from my lady I am going to get more!
I have these and love them, but there are definitely something to be aware of. #1 - They are sharp, and using them on load-able dumbells or just grabbing them off the rack, you need to be careful of getting pinched or nicked. #2 - I've used the 10's & 5's on my bar for Oly lifts outside of say a 45lb bounce plates, and these weights have definitely damaged the knurling my bar sleeves, from dropping the weight. They're so thin and strong the bar can't absorb the force #3 - In a fight with ANYTHING, these things win. They tore the coating off my weight holders, gashed my floor mat after dropping one. They're seriously metal.
The #1 use for these is dumbells. You can buy short sleeve dumbells and still get a pretty high weight on them with these plates. Im pretty sure that company sells the dumbell handles too. Cool set up.
@@mhxxd4 a 90lb rubber hex dumbbell is 16.5" long... you can get 200 lbs on their 16" dumbell with 10lb plates or 100 lbs with their 5lb plates if you wanted it even more compact, and that includes collars.
wouldnt buy a full set of these, but i agree that they would be perfect to supplement with other plates when someone strong starts to run into capacity issues on the bar
It’s not just about adding more plates on the bar but let’s you have a lot more weight in your home gym saving space. All of my weights in my gym are these minus a standard set of bumpers plates I use with these for movements like deadlift.
Your last point is exactly how I like to use them. A set of 45,25,10lbs bumpers so they impact the ground first during deadlifts but then these thin plates for storage/room on the bar.
I have their change plates and they are beautiful- tight on the bar and i use them with my black bumper plates - stick tight and are sweet looking- I have also the 1 inch change plated for my loadable dumbbells- awesome product
I have a tight lifting space, so these work great with my shorty bar. The cast ones feel great on the hands. I live near the ocean, so hopefully the electroplating on the steel holds up to corrosion over the years, if not, the smooth surface should be easy to do maintenance on if it developed rust spots.
These seem like the absolute best option to use with the Kabuki Shoulderok. Coop! Can you confirm that this increases the potential weight you can put on that device?
Here's the use case for these: adjustable dumbbells, Rogue OXO collars, and Micro Gainz's dumbbell handles. The Micro Gainz aren't unwieldy, but you still get over six inches of sleeves, and you can stack tons of the 10 lb plates on them. So you can do heavy dumbbell RDLs and rows with them. That plus the Ironmaster Bench and some attachments and you've got a great dumbbell home gym that you'll never grow out of.
I don't know if this falls into your chosen purvue but a review/comparison of the bench assistance products that are out there (Slinshot, Titan Ram, F8 Widowmaker, etc) would be pretty sick.
I would love these for my titan compact leg sled. The plate holder is so small and I max it out very easily. These plates though are too expensive unfortunately.
I use the 45s (cast iron) for my gym's leg press machines and love them. You can fit 10 plates on an 8 inch weight horn, making them more space efficient and easier to handle than 100 lb plates, especially with the cut out handles. And they periodically go on sale for $2/lb with free shipping.
Coop lied, just measured my 45 lb Watson stainless steel Olympic plate and it came in at .7385 inches, which is less than the .748031 inches of the 45 lb weigh it out plate. Though to be fair, the Watson plates cost about $6,055.07 for 535 pounds (including import fees) or $11.32 per pound. For 535 pounds of Weigh It Out plates (substituting 25 and 10 pound plates cuz they don’t have 35s), the price is $1,462.96 (after 5% site discount) or $2.73 per pound. So the Watsons are 4.15 times more expensive than the Weigh It Outs, so let’s round down to 4. I think we can agree 4 times the price to be .009531 inches or 0.9% thinner is worth it.
I have one set of 45 pound steel plates just like these to supplement my bumpers, just like you said they work great for adding some weight without using up a lot of room. When I bought my rack I really needed to save space but I still wanted storage posts right on my rack as opposed to other storage options. With a 10" post I can store 2 45 pound bumpers and two steel plates with enough room to spare that there is no way they are ever falling off. One negative I think you missed is the steel plates are really loud. If you're a bit rammy putting them on a barbell they make what I think is a really annoying high pitched "tingggggg" sound. I like having my one set of steel plates but I would never buy more. For me, bumper plates are the only way to go. I wasn't sure at first, I liked the cast iron that my local gym always had but I have a couple kids and I like to use my equipment after they go to bed sometimes. The bumpers are way quieter, also if the kids one day happen to drop one the odds of injury are less. I got my steel plates from a Canadian company that used to make good stuff domestically I'm not sure if they do anymore because they are perpetually out of everything, they are just as thin as the ones in this video im pretty sure.
Eleiko comp plates are even thinner, than the rogue comp plates. So just off my interpretation, eleiko comp ipf plates would still be on par if not the same as these in “thinness”. I’d still chose eleikos over this, just for the sleeve diameter. Regardless of calibration.
I have the Watson Dumbell plates. They are expensive, sharp and prone to rust as they are uncoated. Only option im aware of though, if you want to load up 45kg + dumbells.
Coop, you talked about how thin they are but what is difference in diameter compared to calibrated plates and regular plates? There should be a difference because of how thin they are
I have 4 sets of 45 lbs Synergy bumper plates that take a lot of area on my bar, so I brought 2 sets of weight it out 45 lbs to. used with my bumper plates and pendulum squat machine. I plan on getting 2 more pairs of 45 lbs plates. I have the clear coat plates. They are great When I got them they were a lot cheaper .
The smallest change plates are nice. The 2"+ is not a problem with old spin-lock clamp collars. Have you reviewed Biggins Iron weight plates? I looked through the past GGR videos and did not spot one...
I saw those all over during the pandemic...Prices have definitely gone up as I believe some of the originals were made from Car/truck rotors...Can you review Body Solid plates? Olympic & The Chicago Bumpers?
Bought the OG offering (bare steel) at the beginning of the pandemic and they have held up great. Weight is also spot on the money unlike the cast iron plates. Would recommend if anyone is looking.
Thickness of the plate was something I kept in mind when I ordered my Vulcan polyurethane plates. I can fit 600 on the bar with that so unless you lift a ridiculous amount I don’t see the point. They don’t have any flare to me
I remember these were all the range in the UK during the pandemic, but I would not but these again if I had the chance. I got the ones with no handles which are a pain to load on and off. You'll find them so over marketplace, around £1 per kilo just because people want to get rid of them.
Best use for them imo is for plate loaded cable machines. Also if you have limited garage space and/or use the rogue stump bar. But they do suck for deadlifting. Just saying. Other than that, coop did good in his review. The cast iron plates are superior to their steel version specifically because of the lack of rounding and sharp edges. Smaller plates do not have handles and honestly suck to take on and off compared to other iron plates I have. I still love them though because their value in using them for the cable machine and stump bar is worth it to me.
Coop you haven’t reviewed the new 29mm Texas Power Bar. It would be nice to contrast the original 28.5mm Texas Power Bar to new 29mm version. If possible also contrast to the 30mm Texas Bench Bar as well. Thank you Coop.
i have these but the older version, the factory is really close to my house. These are much nicer than my versions though cuz i got them pretty early on
Only thing with which I would need the thinnest plates are the adjustable spinlock dumbbells. I would really love totally solid 2.5 kg and 5 kg for that with the 30 mm hole, because that way you could really load more on those spinlock dumbbells which are truly limited by their length.
Review the new Mack Clamps form Mackey Innovations! They can be used for both axle and standard sleeves and grip harder than anything else on the market
Squat Racks Canada made very similar plates here in Edmonton Alberta. Have my gym kitted out with them and they’re amazing. Sadly they are going out of business
You kinda sold me on the Rogue calibrated plates here... I think the weightitout plates are cool, and I needed some thinner plates, but decided on some 35 calibrated instead for now.
Love your reviews! Would love to see a review on protein bars! Renaissance Periodization just did one and I'd love to see your take. They're definitely something used in the home gym.
@weightitout5500 the real market for these is for adjustable dumbbells. Make it so we can get to real amounts of weight on something like the Rogue DB10s without the diameter getting too wide. It can’t have a sloppy 2” hole though
If you use an OXO-style collar they don't really wobble at all. Of course, that takes up more sleeve real estate. It works OK for something with a bit longer sleeve than the DB10s. That's why I use the Micro Gainz adjustable handles--the handle itself is a little shorter on those so they're pretty close to the DB10s.
I think there is a phycological element to thin plates. For me personally I've used thinner plates at times and visually it looks less heavy even if the weight on the bar is the same which mentally makes me feel I'm lifting lightweight.
The limited lifetime warranty is basically the plates life span, after 20 years of deadlifts and drops it will have some good damage most likely protecting from gyms
Biggest value is with the 10s. You can load them onto fairly short loadable DB sleeves and still get >100lbs per hand. On longer sleeves, you can get 150+, which is great for heavy DB rows. But you’re right, the sharp edges are terrifying; if you’re DB-benching, you better trust the hell out of your clips.
I guess I could see a place for these if someone was lifting massive amounts of weight. Not for me though, I have a rogue B&R bar and can easily loaded it up to 225kg and still get collars on the bar. That’s using and inefficient selection of Rogue bumper plates and change plates. Another 100+ kg could be added to the same bar just by switching the change plates for additional bumpers. I don’t know maybe I’ll change my mind on these once I get my deadlift from 225kg to 350kg+. But that’s at least a few months down the road, lol.
Coop have ever reviewed the nordstick ? Looks like something I might like for Nordic curls in my minimalist home gym . also are there any other options for a higher capacity standard bar other than the ivanko bar ?
the sfx that played whenever the weight plates were shown on screen is pretty obnoxious if you have a subwoofer. it sounds like mouthbreading on a mike. (plosive)

That's dumb, they should come with a collar with some rubber in between, maybe sacrificing some size but allowing it to actually be used.
They shoukd have rounded the edges and had a soft bronze or brass collar.
The #1 use for these is dumbells. You can buy short sleeve dumbells and still get a pretty high weight on them with these plates. Im pretty sure that company sells the dumbell handles too. Cool set up.

Yeah, I have a pair of Ironmind husky handles that I can see using some of these with!
Thickness of plates matter when you’re dealing with something like Gungnir dumblers because so much of the sleeve is needed for their collars.

@sonicnendez getting more space would be hundreds per month, probably.
The math checks out
I think mixing with bumpers and using the handles for other exercises is the main value here, given other options you laid out.
Your last point is exactly how I like to use them. A set of 45,25,10lbs bumpers so they impact the ground first during deadlifts but then these thin plates for storage/room on the bar.
Were the steel plates smaller in diameter than the bumper plates?
I have sets of 10, 5, 2.5. To add to a full bumper plate setup. Perfect for the home gym
They’re company is down the street from my job in carol stream il and I definitely bought a set. Can’t beat made in USA and I believe veteran owned.
These are a solid option but I wish they rounded the edge on the handle since that’s their other differentiator.
Yup mine are super sharp
Those zinc ones are real pretty. Makes me wonder if I could just go to a steel fab shop and get some cut though.
I bought my 1st pair of 45 lbers back in January. I LOVE MINE !!! my 2-1/2 XL hands fit great in the Handles

Seem nice, I reall like that handle, but I'm not lifting heavy enough yet
I have their original COVID labeled ones and they are pretty cool
The thinner the plates, the more the weight is concentrated, giving your more stability, ergo, more neural drive.
These would be good for weighted sleds where you could fit a few more plates on there.
We need that 2023 Home Gym Tour Coop.
Get a few ballistic gel foot and do a drop test with these, calibrated, bumper, and cheap cast plates!
I think there is a phycological element to thin plates. For me personally I've used thinner plates at times and visually it looks less heavy even if the weight on the bar is the same which mentally makes me feel I'm lifting lightweight.
The limited lifetime warranty is basically the plates life span, after 20 years of deadlifts and drops it will have some good damage most likely protecting from gyms
American made!!! Loved these for the longest time
The roughness of these metal plates can be eased with 2 mins on an angle grinder. When you are lifting iron, why not just use real iron?
Any plans to look at Trulap Adjustable dumbbells?
Yep! On the way! - Coop
If your tight on space and use a 5’ bar these would be very nice.
perfect plates for plate machines. I wouldn't use these thin plates on barbell for aesthetics and prefer zero rock on barbell.
New Titan Open Trap Bar???????????? I need a review!!!! I can't believe we haven't had one yet.
More than loading your barbell with something thinner, taking up less storage space is nice
Biggest value is with the 10s. You can load them onto fairly short loadable DB sleeves and still get >100lbs per hand. On longer sleeves, you can get 150+, which is great for heavy DB rows. But you’re right, the sharp edges are terrifying; if you’re DB-benching, you better trust the hell out of your clips.
these are absolutely great for commercial gyms that don't have enough space for anything
Eleiko 20kg calibrated are 20mm, thinner than Rogue and negligibly thicker than these jokers.
Coop, Could you please clarify whether these are thin?
You should do a belt roundup
I think their loadable dumbbells are the most interesting product they make
I guess I could see a place for these if someone was lifting massive amounts of weight. Not for me though, I have a rogue B&R bar and can easily loaded it up to 225kg and still get collars on the bar. That’s using and inefficient selection of Rogue bumper plates and change plates.

But that’s at least a few months down the road, lol.
Man, I want those 10 lb plates for my lat pulldown so bad. That's a spot where the more space saved, the better.
I ordered the Rogue rubber bumper plates during covid, certainly some of the thickest plates around. The 35s will stand on their own.
Quick question, are these plates thin?
🤣🤣🤣
Coop have ever reviewed the nordstick ? Looks like something I might like for Nordic curls in my minimalist home gym . also are there any other options for a higher capacity standard bar other than the ivanko bar ?
My toxic trait is thinking I need these when I can't even max out a bar with bumpers
the sfx that played whenever the weight plates were shown on screen is pretty obnoxious if you have a subwoofer. it sounds like mouthbreading on a mike. (plosive)
I need these for my hip thrusts, 280kg
Can you guys go grip genie collars
maybe I'm just over tired but I kept losing it every time the thin counter came up
I might run out of space on my bar with my 108kg deadlift 1RM 😂
Duuude do a drop test on a ballistic gel foot and see if it will kill a la forgemasters or mythbusters
Definitely perfect for saving space in a cramped garage gym.
Some one say this equipment make more risk to make accident in your gym. Can’t imagine drop it to my foot.
What plates would you recommend dropping on your toe instead?
My brain already imagine the guillotine drop on my neck before i click on this vids
they would also be good for loadable dumbbells
