Signature Fitness Olympic 2-Inch Cast Iron Plate Weight Plate for Strength Training and Weightlifting, Multiple Sizes

I ordered the full set for this (bar with about 250lb worth of weighted plates). After reading some of the reviews, I was worried tbh. Since all the parts get shipped separately, I was worried there would be parts missing, or that they wouldn’t be as sturdy as I’d hoped, etc etc etc. I’m happy to report none of that came true for me. I received some of the weights last week, and the rest all came in yesterday, so everything was delivered as promised.Packaging - the bar was the worst. It comes in a cardboard tube and is REALLY stuffed in there. Get your exactoknives and box cutters (or a saw if you have one, lol), cuz this mfk is NOT sliding out, LOL. But once you deal with that, no problems.Quality - the bar is solid and sturdy. The plates are also good quality. They are the weights they say they are, and the soft coating makes them easy to handle. Did a set of deadlifts on them this morning to test things out and everything about it feels great! The full set is a bit pricey. It’s an investment (if you work out regularly), so I wanted to know it was worth it, but so far I’m very happy with this purchase. We’ll see how the plates hold up over time; I’ll update later as needed. But if you’re looking for a good quality bar and plates for deadlifts or squats, this is a great buy.

These definitely help since we bought a set of plates where the lowest weight was 10lbs. Good quality, good price.

This is the second set of weights I’ve ordered from this brand. Wanted a couple of 25 pounders and this was by far the best price. Shipping time was quick, arrived 4 days earlier than estimated. Each plate weighed in at 24.4lbs, which is spot on enough for me! Plus the difference could just be my scale. I got the 2” olympics and no issues there. The grip cutouts make them easy to move around.The only thing that could be better is the box they are shipped in. It’s very thin and not really suitable for 50 lbs. Mine took a hit during transit obviously. Scuffed the weight on the bottom. But definitely won’t affect me keeping them. I’m also guessing the minimal packaging is a factor of the lower price.. Still a great addition to my collection!

When comparing weights these are really great for the money. They do stink and take a while for the smell to wear off. They are also very oily. So you may want to wipe them down once you receive them. The rubber around them isn't perfect and the stickers are not applied well either. However they work to lift and fit on my Olympic bars just fine.

There is a rubber smell but I only noticed when I opened it and after I touch them, but it's not particularly strong and it's just rubber, I don't find it heinous. The diameter is just under 14 inches if anybody's wondering (I was). These are so much more comfortable and easier to carry than any other plates I've had. I'm going to get the whole set eventually. I'm so happy with these and definitely recommend!

These weight plates are the best. Great quality and a super price. Make sure you get option #4!

The only positive is they are accurate in weight, but I don't want to use them because of two issues I have with them listed below:1. They are covered in grease and the grease is impossible to completely get off, even after 6 months of use and gets all over my gym flooring and other gym equipment.2. They smell bad, even after leaving them outside for weeks and removing most of the grease.

Affordable weight to add to my boyfriend’s collection!
