Jack Lalanne Weight Plates

These don’t get much respect but I really enjoy using them, especially on some weight it out handles. They look cool, are inexpensive for old School pig iron. Probably not collectable but I like them

Didn't know what these were when I found them on marketplace but 50lb pair was good to have resold them during pandemic and upgraded

Mass produced pig iron plates, made in both 2" and 1" bore sizes. Usually very inexpensive, can often be found on FMP for less than $1/lb. They hold no real collector value but they are still worth having in the gym just out of respect and admiration for their namesake. Jack Lalanne was an absolute beast and legend, a true pillar of the strength and fitness community -- he focused on longevity and functional fitness long before it was ever cool. Look up his swims in the SF Bay, towing rowboats behind him well into his 7th and 8th decades! Legend!

Began collecting older plates to display. I still remember seeing Jack Lananne on TV back in the 70s when I was kid. Thrilled to add these.

Nothing fancy. Just old school cast iron plates that get the job done, but can be a hit or miss with regard to their stated weight. My 2.5 lb plates weigh 2.8 lbs each, for example.
