York Barbell Milled KG Vintage Weight Plates

The “modern” York milled plates are iconic in powerlifting for their clean design, tight tolerances, and thin profile, allowing more weight to be loaded on a standard bar. This variation was produced for international competitions featuring kilograms and local meets, these plates are known for their distinct milling used to calibrate weight. Larger plates often feature appealing patterns on the back, while smaller change plates have milling less frequently due to the challenges of machining without causing cracks. The smaller plates maintain earlier designs with updated kilogram markings, and the 15KG marking faces away from the hub.
