The standout feature of these plates is their tri-spoke deep,dish design. This classic look provides a deep lip that makes the plates significantly easier to manuever and pick up off the floor compared to modern flat-faced plates. They are prominently embossed with "BEN" and "STANDARD 45 LBS," a nod to their association with bodybuilding pioneer Ben Weider.

The International Vintage Weight Plates are highly regarded as an "entry-level drug" for collectors of vintage gym equipment. Known for their distinct deep dish design and classic aesthetic, they offer a blend of historical charm and functional durability.

Mid grade bumper plates, not bad but not amazing either, if I had a home gym these are what I would buy for bumper plates

Maybe some of the best quality plates ever made in the USA? I went with the rogue deep dish plates but these were a very close 2nd on my list and honestly a better option for people not looking to have kilos as well as you can put more of these on the barbell

Had some of these in my best friends basement gym, never had any issues and weren't super inaccurate, not a bad plate to start with but I'd never put these in our commercial gym

Good in rehab or the stability phase of training for gen pop athletes. Overrated in commercial gyms. Creating instability for every movement all the time doesn't allow for progressive overload very often

Haven't used one of these in years.... Has a few uses but depends on the size. And no one wants 3 of these taking up room in there home gym. Not super versatile. I would use it as a chair more then anything else

With so many other great collars and designs out there why are these still being used ? Not good at anything and if they are tight enough to work well I've had clients have issues putting them on and off
