Best USA Iron Weight Plates 2024 | Rep Fitness vs Rogue vs Strength Co
#repfitness #roguefitness #strengthco #homegym #garagegym ‪@REPfitness‬ ‪@thestrengthco‬
REP's USA-Made Equalizer Iron Plates are our highest-quality, cast-iron Olympic plates, featuring extreme attention to detail and symmetrical grip holes for easy maneuverability. A smooth outer rim with beveled edges provides a comfortable grip, and the six precision-cut grip holes (on the heavier plates) also make it easy to use the individual plates for exercises. These plates were designed in Colorado and made in the USA. Weight tolerance is guaranteed to be within 2%.
Equalizers - including the rims, text, and sides -- are finished with a premium metallic black E-coat, which provides an even coating that is extra durable and aesthetic. A machine-drilled center hole creates a tight fit on all standard-sized barbells. USA-Made Equalizers are sold in pairs (2.5, 5, 10, 25, 35, and 45lbs), as well as nine different sets (from 175-425lbs).
Plate Sets:
• 175lb - One Pair: 45, 25, 10, 5, 2.5
• 230lb - Two Pair: 45; One Pair: 25
• 245lb - One Pair: 45, 35, 25, 10, 5, 2.5
• 265lb - Two Pair: 45; One Pair: 25, 10, 5, 2.5
• 270lb - Three Pair: 45
• 320lb - Three Pair: 45; One Pair: 25
• 335lb - Two Pair: 45; One Pair: 35, 25, 10, 5, 2.5
• 355lb - Three Pair: 45; One Pair: 25, 10, 5, 2.5
• 425lb - Three Pair: 45; One Pair: 35, 25, 10, 5, 2.5

@NoFate247 6 месяцев назад

They are rather sleek and I really liked them and didn't have problems loading them but I am not doing 4-5 plates on each side so I might not be the best judge. I definitely think it's preference and there is no one size fits all when it comes to plates

Agree 100%. Love the look of these plates. I own a set of the urethane equalizer plates. I have been using them for just under a year and I absolutely love them . I chose the urethane because I workout in the AM and I need to keep the plate noise down if I can. Thanks so much for all the great info.

@murdog04 7 месяцев назад

@@NoFate247 So I feel I am kind of the average dude (54 y o) when it comes to the weight I lift. The 355lb package is more than sufficient for all my movements inside my rack. My squat is right at 350 so I may need to add another set of 45’s at some point. I do have 450lbs of Fringe Sports Savage Bumpers for deadlifting. I have appx 75lbs to go before I will start looking to add to those.

@Tlevy2 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the review! My only question with the Rep plates is how the coating will hold up. I had some of their old equalizers and the paint chipped off by looking at them…Anyway for now I’m sticking to my Rogue bumpers but I agree these new Rep plates look awesome.

@NoFate247 7 месяцев назад

I will do a 6 month or year review to show the coating (maybe just a short video). Having these three weeks (4 now) I don't have any issues with them and I am pretty rough on them but still that isn't a lot of use to give a fair estimate

@Josh_TXGarageStrength 7 месяцев назад

Rep’s new equalizer plates look very nice and very well made. I’ve just not been a fan of the equalizer design, despite how functional they are. It’s nice to see your review of them though. Keeping in mind I’ve never seen or used any of the three, I’d buy the Strength Co plates and hope to fit my gym with them someday. Grant has perfected the iron plate IMO.

@NoFate247 7 месяцев назад

Grant is a great guy and very generous with his time. Never heard one complaint of his plates

@carps_gym 7 месяцев назад

The Strength Co is my favorite, but I do like how the Reps one kept the 4 spoke design all the way through the smaller plates. I have owned all three of these mentioned- rogue, strengthco, and the original equalizers in both steel and urethane all solid plates. It just comes down to your straining training style and personal preference really

That way can do circuits much faster far less to load. Squat max will be here in a few days plan to probably keep 3 45s on it maybe two not sure how hard it is compared to regular squats, he says most use half the weight.@@NoFate247

Curious if you find them easy to pick up with 1 hand with their bigger lips? I have Rogue USA Olympic which are 0.35" smaller but they have thinnest most worthless lip you could imagine my grip can hold them for a few seconds so have to use two hands to move them.

@Garage_gym48 7 месяцев назад

Man the new equalizers look great. You should have cut it up with your chop saw since everybody is jumping on that bandwagon 😁. I have rogue deep dishes and a pair of strengthco hundos for deadlifts, but I would grab the equalizers if picking from scratch with today’s options. They are absolutely beautiful IMHO. Great video as always, sir.

Respect to Rep Fitness. Ive oft wondered about the lead content in the paint of imported equipment; with plates clanging, chips and dust flying around a confined space like a basement gym. Conversely, the paint on vintage Yorks never chipped or faded after 40 years.

Yes, mainly due to dust allergens. Commercial Air Scrubber with 3-Stage Filtration, 800 CFM, MERV10, Carbon, H13 HEPA.

@samrmills 7 месяцев назад

Nice review. Not USA but I’m satisfied with my REP old school irons for that audible chain rattling effect and “old school” look and feel. If I did it all over again I’d probably get the equalizers though for those grip holes and price. Btw load up some smaller plates so you can get that effect too. Like chains of warriors rising up from earth as you bust out dem reps

@NoFate247 7 месяцев назад

If you like the plates you have you are all set, no need to chase the hype beasts out there. I like a little rattling when I workout in the afternoon, but in the am, it needs to be quiet while the dragons sleep

@6AnAsianGuy9 6 месяцев назад

Have you seen Le Master plates? I ended up going with the 45s due to the aesthetics, 2% tolerances, the e-coat, USA made, and the fact that I probably won't have 7 plates on both ends of the barbell. Awesome review as always!

@NoFate247 6 месяцев назад

I have seen those but not my cup of tea. But they've held up good for you?

@6AnAsianGuy9 6 месяцев назад

So far so good! They have pretty tight tolerances on the width so you really have to line it up well when putting it on the bar, but once on there it doesn't move much. Also, it does automatically spin to show the guy deadlifting once on the bar @@NoFate247

@GuyHill-uc4hz 7 месяцев назад

How snug do the new USA made REP plates fit on a quality barbell? Are they snug like the Strength Co and Ivanko Revolver/OM plates? Thanks

@NoFate247 7 месяцев назад

Really solid question. I didn't have the others to compare. I thought they were snug enough that there wasn't tons of "slob" when not using clips. I thought the Rogue USA plates were a "TAD" tighter and I've not had the Strength co to test out.

@chrisdonnell2575 6 месяцев назад

They do look cool and Weight it Out plates can be made to just have their cool logo on it so you get handles, cool logo and thinnest 45s out there. I have Rogue USA Olympic plates which I think are second thinnest 0.9" for 45s and love the looks and how thin they are but hate the thin lip. If they had grips like Weight it out would be best plates in my opinion. I went with thin as I thought I'd get one Athena and would use Gym Pin and with 2:1 pulley might need to put 180+lbs on it to make 110lb stack heavy enough to do light lat pulldowns. I ended up getting dual athenas so have 220lbs now to combine with GymPin so in hindsight wish I got your recommendation or Weight it Outs.

@NoFate247 6 месяцев назад

Yeah I love my weight it out rock two of them on my gym pin like no big deal! Excited for what they have in store for 2024

@jasondobson7719 7 месяцев назад

I used to be the one of those that would say "weight is weight"; until I got my Rogue Deep Dish plates. I had been using my basic Standard weight plates from the 90s and they got the job done, but I just feel more connected to the bar and movements with my deep dishes. Maybe it's just in my head? I dunno. The old Standard plates are used on my leg machines- that's where "weight is weight". While the new Rep plates are sexy, I still prefer my deep dishes. They still trigger my nostalgia from reading the old bodybuilding magazines as a kid and working out in the dungeon gyms. Plus, factoring Ma. taxes and shipping, the deep dishes are .16 per pound less. For alot off people, the deep dishes aren't their cup of tea for many reasons, which that .16 difference could be easily overlooked. Thanks for reviewing these, and actually using them instead of spending 15 minutes just saying how "ssssiiiick" they look on your rack.

@NoFate247 7 месяцев назад

I think it's amazing how subjective appearance is. I think the deep dishes look bad but I know others who love them! But there is something to be said about nostalgia. Did you sell your older plates or just kept them all

American labor is more expensive than overseas. Iron and steel prices are higher here. More regulation than over seas. Health insurance, workers compensation, unemployment etc. All makes for high overhead. But there is probably a more professional answer. Do you think it should cost the same?

@@NoFate247 I'm not sure if the price differential is justified or hyper-inflated by the "made in USA" marketing machine.

I own a pair of the Rogue USA Olympic 45's and will be buying more of their irons. Despite the real justifications you've given for the higher cost, I'm not sure if it's really justifiable from a logical standpoint other than a sacrificialnthithe offering to patriotism and GDP.
