Picking Plates - The Best Weights For Most People

What is your ideal plate? Chances are most people think of Ivanko or York. In this episode of picking plates we take a look at what I think are the best plates for most people. Machined plates not offer a great quality plate, they do so often times at a value that's affordable.

What about ceramic plates? I find it hard to eat on these plates cause my food keeps falling through the middle

Ahhh yesss. The times when we were able to choose. A time when stock was available 😂

Man, I recently began to watch a lot of your videos as I'm trying to build my home/apartment gym. Your videos have been very helpful and I love the sense of humor you're using! Thank you and hopefully, your channel will be more successful than as already is!

I like how he didn’t care that he didn’t hit 10 min. He was just worried about making a video for the viewers.

Had no idea all the finer details when it came to plates. Thanks for the info!

My garage gym isn't tall enough to overhead press 45LB plates without banging into the ceiling. 35's fit with my OHP perfectly. There's your use case if you need one.

What!?! WVU represent! Hi from Seattle! (WV native and WVU trained lawyer and physical therapist)

Just bought 4 pairs of 45 pounds, 2 pairs of 35 pounds and 2.5 pairs of 25 pounds for $0.56/pound.
I plan on selling the extra pair of 35 lbs and 1.5 pair of 25 lbs. I know exactly what you mean when you wish they would all offer one pair, additional to a 10 plate pair with n count of 45 lbs but it's kinda like buying hot dogs and buns. You'll never have the same amount of buns then hot dogs so you always gotta one up the other the next trip in the grocery store.


I wanna say that your channel has helped me out immensely. I bought the x-3 rack flat foot because of your recommendation a while back and it looks amazing aesthetically, the rogue ohio power bar and the repfitness fb 5000 bench because of your channel. I hope content like this keeps on coming more for us garage gym owners.


Question: Do you ever plan on maybe opening up your own gym for the more hardcore, competitive powerlifters / weightlifters / strongmen out there some day?

Good info. This is a really educational series. Thanks!

For Rogue:
The 6 shooters look like classic Ivanko.
The four spoke look like classic York.

Rip, in Australia I haven’t been able to find machined plates. It’s either cast iron, calibrated, or bumpers.

[johnmendiola]

It's kind of funny. ROGUE makes plates "similar" to IVANKO. And then they complain about TITAN "copying" them!

[monky]

8:02 been shopping for plates and this is frustrating. once saw a set with 3 sets of 35's and no 45's

[davidmorgan]

I can’t believe I just voluntarily just watched another man just sit there and speak for almost ten minutes... and about fitting his bar into holes no less. (These innuendos are killing me man.)

Just goes to show, you don’t need a gimmick. Just some good content.

Thanks for the advice on weights... and holes. Can’t wait for things to be in stock again

I had a few Ivankos that weren't within the 2% parameters they said were suppose to.


Major respect to the company who can give a guarantee such as "Within 2% or you get a full refund" lol

[sdjohnston]

Quite informative. I have some of those exact Rogue machined plates in the silver/gray color. Love them! Accurate. Fit the bar well with very little slop. And they look great.

You should make a video on today's covid19 market on plates and gym equipment what the best to buy at this covid prices etc etc

I need multiple pairs because I always do supersets so I would sometimes need 35's on a bar to do rows while also needing them on a bar for presses.
