I own vintage milled Yorks, Rogue Deep Dish, and generic plates. These are my second favorite plates behind the vintage Yorks and are excellent. The weight is precise, they are easy to put on the bar due to the well-designed lip, and are smooth but with enough friction on the backside so you can still remove them. The tolerances on these are TIGHT. I think the price is fair but not a bargain. Definitely a welcome addition to my home gym and a plate I would highly recommend. They have an old school feel and look and will last a lifetime.

The hype is all true. Smooth, and easy to grip. That's why they're the go-to plate of the Massenomics gym.

Smooth yet easy to grip, Iron E-coated. I mean you can't ask for much more from a plate. Legitimately the best Iron plates I've ever felt and lifted with. If you're gonna spend money on plates do these vs. anything else.

I have the 45 pound plates, love them, consistent calibration and can stack several on a bar or machine since they have a narrow profile.

These are the go-to plates in my gym for any barbell movement. They are easy to grip and have a premium feel. There are lots of plates to choose from out there but this is made in America and will last a lifetime. It’s hard to want to have any other plate after having used and owned these

These live up to the hype. American made, but with the value of foreign plates. Accurate and comfortable to handle, if I wasn’t using vintage plates as my daily drivers, these would be all over my gym. They really set a standard everyone else should Chase.

For a black iron plate these somehow look just incredible. The quality is there, American made but the price doesn’t make you cry at checkout. And I don’t care what the scale says these plates are heavier than bumper plates. I can’t recommend these enough. From the look to the texture and the quality. You cannot go wrong buying a set of these plates!

Gorgeous, easy to hold on to and tight tolerances. What more could you want from a plate than it be full of jambalaya. I also heard the founder of the strength co was from Louisiana down the bayou and what’s more American than that??
