Calibrated LB Steel Plates
Machine calibrated for next-level precision, these durable cast-iron LB plates are accurate to within 10 grams in weight. Each disc is cut thin to allow for max loading capacity (up to 1500+LB) and color-coded for easy identification from a distance. The back of each plate includes calibration plugs (lead on smaller plates, brass on plates 5LB and up) for an ever greater level of precision. A 50.4MM center hole is designed for a snug fit on a standard barbell, and as a result, may not fit on some cheaper barbells not held to spec.

These are fantastic quality and I have never had an issue with them. I have used them for every lift you can imagine and love them.

Get quality plates, and they perform perfect for their stated purpose.
Now... would I buy them again for my home gym? Probably not. They're just not the most convenient plates for day to day use (take this from someone who uses them every day...). If I had to do it again I'd get the classic deep dish from Rogue or more likely the Strength Co plates.
If you're running powerlifting meets then yeah, for sure get these. Or if you're just a monster and need sleeve space!
(I do love the look tho!) :)

I bought 4x25 pound plates on the secondary market for just over a buck a pound. I am not a competitive powerlifter. Calibrated plates are harder to handle than deep dish plates, but they look amazing. Accuracy is spot on, but that is not a big deal for me. In the space for calibrated plates, they are a reasonable value, but you have to ask yourself if you really need calibrated plates.

These feel like a big step up from standard plates the first time you use them. The thinner design lets me load a lot more weight on the bar, and the calibrated accuracy is nice for consistent training. They’ve got that solid steel feel and sound that just makes heavy lifts feel different. Definitely more of a premium option, but if you like serious strength training, they’re hard not to appreciate.

Freedom unit comp plates are silly. Get kilos or get different plates and save some money

Awesome plates but unless you're getting them for them being low profile, I think there's cheaper options out there. If you're getting them as powerlifter you might as well just get the kilo plates so its more similar to competition standards

I had a gym full as we outfit 3 platforms on comp day (yes - in Freedom units). They are good if value as any calibrated, especially when Rogue changed style and had marked down to $1 lb! Pros - affordable, thin, accurate. Cons - PITA to handle and chrome is terrible slick even if they look cool, paint is terrible and got touched up by hand in factories with finger painting.

These are good plates overall but nothing special. Most calibrated plates are similar enough where it's going to boil down to what's priced the best, and which face design most appeals to you.

Same feel and quality as the KG plates. I don’t find much use in this type of plates calibrated plates are a pain to handle and if they are lbs then they aren’t simulating comp specific equipment (which I believe to be a big reason for having these. I’d go with something with more lip grip for lb plates.

Got a pair of the calibrated 55s in a marketplace package. They are pretty sweet.
But as a pound plate enthusiast I don’t often turn to these plates when lifting. They are a bit harder to handle than normal pound plates.
I mostly use them on my Dinnie replicas to help load the heavy pin more efficiently because these plates are very thin.
