Weight Lifting Plates | Reviews of Weight Plates

Weight lifting plates, specifically metal ones, are an important part of a weightlifter’s arsenal.  There is no replacement for heavy iron, and that is why we have chosen quality weight lifting plates that will last the test of time.  No sloppy finishes that chip away, no breaking, just good solid metal plates.  Each plate is extremely durable and will last a very long time. We also took care to make sure that the weight lifting plates we recommend are guaranteed to be extremely close to the stated weight.  Many cheaper plates will be off by as much as 5 pounds from the stated weight, which makes it annoying and potentially dangerous if your bar is improperly loaded and off balance.   We rate the weight lifting plates from gold to bronze, although sometimes we swap out plates as newer and better plates take their place.

TKO Weight Lifting Plates

The TKO Olympic Rubber Tri-Grip Plate are a great choice for metal plates with a rubber coating.  These are less expensive than many other rubberized weights we’ve seen, and they’re extremely durable.  Rubberized weights are a good choice if you store your plates in an environment prone to cause rust (like a garage), plus they also help protect floors from getting scratched up if you lift indoors. These weight lifting plates come with free shipping, so check them out here

York Weight Lifting Plates

The York Legacy Olympic Standard Weights are excellent high quality metal Olympic weights that are perfect for whenever you need a lot of iron for a low price. These are milled to within 2% of the stated weight, so you won’t have to deal with sloppy weight lifting plates that cause uneven loading.  Check them out here
