Marcy Vintage Weight Plates

Simply beautiful plates. Incredibly inaccurate but nonetheless they look amazing. Picked up two pairs of 45’s on marketplace for only 50$🤯 I managed to find a close enough pair out of the group. Good for hub lifting and bench or squat. Don’t recommend deadlift as they’re fragile. Plan to sell the other pair I don’t need or trade them at some point. But for now I’m pleased letting them live in my gym.

Marcy deep dish are beautiful, unique, vintage, etc. What they are also known for is being innacurate, imperfect castings, and cracking. My 45s are 42.5lbs and 47.5lbs. I had to add a ton of magnets to make my light 45 accurate. They are fantastic for hub lifting though. Probably great for everything else when actually accurate. Accurate plates are harder to find. Especially 45s.

Classic design and classic feel. These have such a deep lip they are super easy to carry. Some of my 45s are showing signs of cracking around the hub which is very common on the 45s. One of them is so cracked it will be retired and thrown on display. The 25s really are the crown jewel of this set with having the same design and being deepdish like the 45s, just something about them feels so good. Time to collect the rest of the set and training hub lifting on them!

Marcy deep dish 45s have a distinctive look and a great West Coast Muscle Beach vibe. I love the character of these plates, and the hub design makes them fun for hub lifting too. The downsides are that they can be inaccurate, and they have a reputation for cracking around the hub, so condition matters.

First plates I hub lifted. Height/size of the hub make it a perfect beginner plate. Best looking deep dish 25s (and 10s) in my opinion. However, they have their flaws... I have to take it easy on them or risk cracking a hub. And I had to add 3lb of Rob's Vintage Gainz magnetic weights to one of my 45s to equal the heavier one.

They look cool. However the weight of my plates are way off. One is 42 the other is 45. They are known to crack around the hub. Cool for hub lifting.

The Marcy Vintage Weight Plates are iconic "Golden Era" pieces designed by Dr. Walter Marcyan. They are highly sought after by collectors for their classic West Coast aesthetic, characterized by a deep dish mold, thick rims, and distinctive "whiskers" (spokes) that appear on all sizes, including the smallest change plates

These weights are not the most accurate in the world (I have a 43 and 46lbs set), actually not complaining about that since I wanted them for hub lifting, and now I have a baby 45 to work up to the full one. I think the whiskers look cool and three plates are one of the best looking in my small vintage weight collection.

not the most accurate of plates, but they are desirable as vintage deep dish collectors pieces. If you get a chance to purchase some, ask the seller for accurate weight of each plate to see if the set you're getting is balanced, or how far off from the labeled weight each plate might be so that you know if they are going to be useful to you.

Some of my favorite looking plates. Vintage Weights PGH points of that these plates are rare in the fact that the “spokes” (he calls them whiskers) are on every plate all the way down to the 2.5s…which I don’t have…yet. Deep rim, tall hub and crisp lettering.
