Atlas Barbell Vintage Weight Plates
An evolution of the original Gagnon set, this design features flared walls and smooth, rounded edges, offering a great feel in hand. The well-balanced text and markings, even on the smallest change plates, are a standout feature. It’s also one of the few sets that includes 1.25 lb plates.

The Atlas Barbell 45lb deep dish plate is one of my favorite-looking deep dish plates. It has that Canadian vintage iron history and enough character to make even normal lifts feel a little more fun. The hub makes it great for hub lifting, but even on the bar it adds some extra personality to the gym.

I absolutely love these plates. These were the plates that got me hooked on collecting vintage iron. I saw a random picture of some Atlas 45 and absolutely had to have them. The hunt for them led me down a rabbit hole that I still have not reached the bottom of... all the mythology, mystique, and essence of legendary lifters who preceded us are wrapped up in the cold hard physicality of the old iron they wielded. Atlas plates from the 1970sare the evolution of the 1950s Gagnon (pronounced "gone yo") set that preceded them. They typically run around $1000 for a pair of 45s, even more if they have excellent original paint. They were originally released in three colors: French blue, a sparkling teal, and black. The casting quality is extremely high, with crisp letters and smooth contours around the hub and rim. The plates are labeled with Atlas Barbell down to the smallest change plates.

Absolute BEAUTS. The Canadian Atlas International Olympique plates make a statement with a sleek design, tall volcano hub, rounded edges and sharp lettering. Money well spent.
