Dear gym equipment companies,
Ignore coop’s call for fancier packaging. No one wants to spend more money on boxes that are going straight the trash can. Just keep delivering great equipment that shows up with safe and affordable shipping.
Exactly it's just a fucking box. As long as it protects the equipment it doesn't matter what it looks like
I tend to think the consumer doesn't know what they want until they receive it. This is how innovation happens.
@@GarageGymReviews that’s a little condescending, Coop. I know I don’t want to pay 10-15% more for a different box that goes into the trash. Tell me how flashier packaging innovates my gym.
@@thorwannabe6810 Imagine buying a fancy new phone only to get it at delivered with no package, just a bunch of bubble wrap or some shit.
Think that for low end stuff it would be acceptable but when you start looking into more premium options it (like these plates) packaging does play a role.
Also i doubt that a fancier package would add a significant price to the product.
@@MrRoflmao1000 weight plates that aren't even calibrated should not be this expensive in the first place
So we’re the guy she told you not to worry about? Dude that’s the guy you definitely need to worry about😂
How do these compare to the Strength Co. plates.
That price is insane.
No one’s gonna deny that those are clean but for the price I think it’s better to go with calibrated plates 🤙🏽
Thank you I don't need to to watch the video now
Wait a sec. I just search it up. Rogue plates cost more in the US than they do in Australia. I think this is the first time I've seen gym equipment cost more in the US than in Australia, holy shit.
@@charles8557 Maybe since it's made in china either way so shipping to Aus from China is cheaper?
@@johnwallwizards2 Shipping from China to Australia actually takes much longer than from China to the US which is the weird bit
@@johnwallwizards2 no these are Made in the USA. So it makes less sense. Unless they make the same ones in China for other markets.
I want the packaging to be easier to dispose of. Other than that, I really don't want a ton of waste that comes from a special unboxing experience.
And added cost
Ug the competition kettlebells from Rogue have so much styrofoam to throw away! I wish it was something degradable.
The antithesis of fake plates, my ego couldn’t handle them 🙈
if ya using pounds ya ego is intact since the number is higher than real measurements lol
@@girlsdrinkfeck not if you measure in grams 😎
@@Alex-lc1bv I measure strictly in grains.
@@adamkunkel yeah well I measure in milligrams.
I recall Henniger saying they wanted to do made in USA calibrated. Seems these would be the mold and they could just bore a hole in the back for plugs.
Yep, great call out. These are so dang accurate too. I tested the rest and they were all right in line.
I would buy them if they where actually calibrated. Would also be cool to have them in KG sets.
it it wont take much to make a calibrated version of these
Does any company make Made in (Country) Calibrated? I know Eleiko isn't made in Sweden and obviously none of Rogue, Vulcan, Hansu, etc are Made in China
@@johnwallwizards2 maybe leoko.
And challenge is Pakistani, and is made there i belive
I died when he dropped the 100 plate and said "that can just stay there for the rest of life"
Some dude in his basement is still getting stronger with his cap plates than many guys with all the expensive stuff. Your muscles and gravity don't care.
Weight is weight. Majority of my training has been done with rusty old prison yard shit basically. Works all the damn same.
@@oof578 same here my brother
Gravity is a myth. It’s all about density!
@@Isaiah-ft5nx no it isn't. Why do satellites orbit if it's all about density?
@@randybobandy9828 how do you know they orbit? Can you prove that?
Great review, when mentioning the advantages to thin plates, one thing I don't see talked about very often is their usefulness in heavy, loaded bodyweight exercises. If you are very strong on weighted dips or weighted pull-ups and use a traditional belt, thin 45 lb plates are much more convenient to hold in between your legs when you are at 4+. Huge difference.
this is exactly why I'm looking at these plates
Great input ,especially with a vest that holds these plates
8:44 - C’mon Coop! You’re making a freaking video on these plates! You should’ve verified on the Rogue website to see what they specify as the tolerance. (They state +2% / -0%, btw)
"no edge to grab" coop hasnt met the face of a 25kg eleiko comp steel plate on the floor
If you've got a full set of bumpers and tend to run out of sleeve length on heavy deadlifts and squats, having a few pairs of these 45s would be a great option for mixing in.
Not a problem for me. I'm too weak anyways
Absolutely, that is why I'm ordered a set. It's annoying to have to strap plates on to keep them on while deadlifting. - Mike, GGR Community Manager
You can get about 585 on the bar with bumper plates. 99.9% of people in the gym are not lifting that
I was wondering if one of the 25 or 35 lbs slims would fit inside the deep dish.
If you could stack two deep dish 45s, each with a 35 lbs slim inside.
@@TheBitcoinBoomerLate here but probably not. The center where the barbell goes in extends to the lip, meaning that you couldn’t fit the smaller plate within. The center would prevent that.
If anyone wants to send me their old plates, I'll gladly accept them :)
I work in a box plant, you would not believe the price difference between a box like these and lets saw a double corrugated box with a preprinted image. The price of the paper used could be 50 to 60% more.
Need a review on the AGGRO Ohio power bar man
YES. Just saw them in new segment and got horny for that knurling already...
I think since I dont max out the bar, I would prefer the deep dish
At least for the 20Kg
AGGRO Bar review PLEEEEASE!!!
Coop is the man!
Romans 10:9-10 "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved."
Think for the price, if I wanted a thin plate, but one a bit easier to grip and handle, I'd go with the Bells of Steel machined plates. If I wanted a more 'calibrated' experience, I'd just get calibrated
Pretty sure I'm buying the deep dish if I ever need more iron plates.
But those thin ones look good, very little wasted space which I always wondered why they didn't already do that??
It wouldn’t visually look impressive if someone benched 2 plates with these thin ones
What is the benefit of the deep dish plates?
@@Sloimer Mainly handling. They’re easier to grip and move around
These plates make me feel emasculated. I like my 45lbs looking thicc and juicy to maximise all that collar space. My 450lbs deadlift would look pathetic with these.
Anybody that advocated for a more expensive "unboxing experience" for fucking gym equipment is a clown
These look so sleek and smooth, I wouldn't even wanna workout with these, probably would've framed these and stared at them forever.
Are the 45's a noticeably bigger pain to handle than your typical 45lb plate due to the extreme thinness?
Never have been too picky with plates, tolerances are the only thing I look for
And the only affordable ones right now are 3%
I'm in love with this gym plates 😍❤
They are sweet, I could not believe how thin they really were. -Mike, GGR Community Manager
Would be great to see these on the rogue dumbbell handles and see how it compares to usual thickness of cast iron plates. Another great video, Coop
Please do an updated gym tour
There will be one coming soon. -Mike, GGR Community Manager
Heads up to buyers, 6 of my 12 plates came with scratches. Rogue essentially said they will still work, and that they can’t help. Pretty disappointing response them. I’d advise anyone who buys to film yourself opening the plate box.
As a casual workout guy who uses rubber plates, how do you lift these off the ground when they're flat on the floor? Is there enough friction on the side to bring it to a stand?
Keep a flathead screwdriver around.
But how will people know I’m using 45’s from across the gym? 0/10, terrible product! Lol 😂🤣 jk.. very interesting, actually.
I want Rogue's Standard 45 plates be to made here. Like I think those are the most beautiful plates but I want em made here
I can't decide what to get!. Im still a sub 500lb lifter but I'm about to max out my big fat bumpers. Do you think it would be dangerous to deadlift with these on 3/4 stall mats over a concrete floor ? Also is there any benefits/drawbacks of using for deadlifts vs the deep dish?
Only difference to deep dish is you can fit more of these on the bar. If you’re using big bumpers these thin ones will be a good compliment to add more weight to the bar as they will fit.
Stall mats will have no problem with these at all over concrete. Nothing to worry about.
@@dbsasuke thanks for the info. I appreciate it
That was fun. Glad to have found the channel. I don't necessarily plan to buy weights anytime soon (as technically, the building my Rabbi owns has a nice gym in the back). However, it's amazing how dense these plates are, and how ACCURATE! Thank you for the video (and the recommendation links)!
Incredible how many options there are today for types of plates...and to think Ed Coan was setting world records on lb plates they weighed after the meet sometimes!
It really is amazing thinking of all the options. I think you are right, they definitely did not use calibrated plates like today. -Mike, GGR Community Manager.
They look nice, but other than for aesthetics it would make more sense to get calibrated plates.
How's the battery life?
Some of the complaints people have regarding scratches and tiny dings on weight plates.if these people go to a commercial gym and see dumbbells with tiny scratches on them do they walk over to the reception and complain and not use them 🤣😂there just weights not a brand new Ferrari lol
Would you recommend these or The Strength Co plates? With shipping costs the Rogue actually come out just slightly cheaper. Looking to get 2-3 pairs of 45s to supplement bumpers.
Hi Coop, Great Review as always. I noticed the new flooring. Can you give us a link or review?
Hi Rob, it's Eleiko flooring ,here is the link.- Mike, GGR Community Manager.
shop.eleiko.com/en-us/equipment/flooring/elt1-000153-qb-eleiko-floor-tile-nordic-night?ref=GY65fxs5WPI12
I love Coop, but sometimes he does say some stupid shit. "I wish they would improve the unboxing experience." Really. C'mon Coop.
lol that might be his worst take. "I wish the stuff I threw out was nicer."
I get where he's coming from - people really like unboxing stuff - but for insanely heavy items like this, just give me a box that makes it intact. (If I'm getting like, idk, shoes or sleeves? Sure, a cool box might be nice. But it's so far down the list of things to care about.)
@@stephennolan219 Diddo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Could not have said it better.
Coop, I purchased a set of these, 6 45lbs and 2 25lb plates. Each one has (to varying degree), what Rogue is calling, hanger marks inside the hubs. The hanger, according to Rogue, is used to hang the plate for coating. Do your USA Olympic plates have these markings or is the entire hub smooth?
That is a normal part of any coating process and after using a plate for any time the coating will wear off the inside hub from taking it on and off the barbell. It's a non-issue.
I saw on rogue website a 25lb Olympic rogue usa plate pair priced at 148.00 dollars. I am confused that it says 25lb pair on the front, does it mean that for 148.00$ I get 2 plates of 25lb each? I mean will they give me 25lb 1 plate in 148$ or 2 plates?
When you think someone brings you a pizza box but it's an olympic plate :(
I love this dudes content. It's like gym advice and gym gear reviews from a chill dad who can lift cars
*Petition for Agrro Bar review!!!!!! ASAP!*
But if the plates are thin... It doesn't look like I'm lifting as much weight xD. My ego cannot withstand anything other than bumper plates. Makes a 315 deadlift look monstrous.
Coop: I’m so use to holding thick things
Me: PAUSE!!!!!!!
Any knockoffs? I like the novelty of it more than anything.
The shipping and tax made me cringe, I was fine before that . Hey, I got champagne taste on a beer budget.
If i cant find another company selling them cheaply ill scoop them up, just buy, click, and, close my eyes i guess.
I like buying aluminum 45lb plates, cause they're lighter.
Tech companies spend 50 dollars and make 1200 obviously they can afford 10 on a box. Fuck the "unboxing" experience its creating so much trash.
Did you know that a 17.5 inch plate of 1 inch thick steel with a 2 inch center hole in it weighs 67.3 pounds. And a 17.25 inch plate weights 65.3 pounds. And they can be had from most metal shops, plasma cut or laser cut to size for about 50 dollars each. Also, they aren't cast iron and won't break if you really abuse them.
That is one super-nice thin plate, or until you accidentally drop it on your foot. You can imagine dropping the plate on your foot, when loading/offloading the thin plates before/after squatting. Better safe than sorry, with the Deep Dish, or a Bumper Plate.
This online obsession with packaging is such nonsense. I want the product, not a box. Who cares about how good the thing you immediately throw away looks or feels? More things should be packaged like gym equipment!
These would be great for a reverse hyper of loadable lat pull down if you’re going mad heavy.
Nice review I need plates that are thinner but heavier like my rubber coated 55 pounds plates take most room but if floor is covered I rather get those thin plates to load more weight on bar . Keep it up !!!!!❤❤
Less air resistance 😁
Hello, Can you help me please find a supplier in the US for Rouge Equipment? an Email would be great. Thank you!
Those are some sexy ass plates
Can you do CLMBR review? It looks like a great concept.
Always remember never cut towards yourself as you cut towards yourself
Love them, but don't know why they are more expensive than the Deep Dish - same machining, pattern, less milled material. It's cheaper to buy the thinner billet material, and machine less out of it. Though, I guess these are just cast and finished up on the CNC.
oh man those 25s are sexy
pretty certain they're cast, then machined, not completely machined from a solid chunk of billet.
@@dc2090 yeah, i understand that, they still surface finish the underside and sides. less surface area to machine and less to powdercoat/cerakote. Also, smaller shipping boxes, can ship more at a time if within weight constraints. cost savings all around.
I totally agree. Makes no sense why more expensive. Cast is also cheaper than maching from a solid piece
They're more expensive because Rogue knows people will see a shiny new Rogue product and then trip over themselves to spend their money on it. No matter what the product is.
Also who wants to look like they lift less 😂 315 gonna look like 135lbs now haha only good thing is for plate loaded machines
I feel like great for plate loaded machines and deadlift. Deep dish or bumper plates take up too much space on the bar.-Mike, GGR Community Manager
Always thought the deep dish looked really tacky so I like these a lot more.
I have 2x55lbs, 6x45lbs and 2x25lbs. They are currently my fav plates. Go for it people, you won't regret!
the unboxing experience will not help you lift weights .......
If it were me, I would have rather gotten calibratted plates
I think these serve a very specific purpose for those who run out of sleeve length, which is a small group... but aside from that and considering the price, i don't know why anyone would choose those over calibrated plates... i can see those having more cons than pros for everyday home gymmers... (hard to grip, loud, easy to scratch, expensive, and even aesthetically unpleasing when your squat or deadlift weight is average so you end up with a bar and few thin plates looking awkward...etc)
we are not nerds unboxing a new iphone thats the exact same as the last 10 and need to be woo'd by the box we are apes trying to be savages...the boxes are fine as is
And what do you think tech is boxed in...cardboard no foam half the time
@garage gym reviews how has it been handling the plates now that’s you’ve had them for a while?
Been training with these for a few weeks now and love them!
when he could have just placed the 25 and 45 next to each other to see the thickness
sure they look nice, Close to calibrated, however its a small sample size. For most people not needed ideal plates for some passive pinch grip training, since alot of people ignore hand/forearm training.
I want these just because I feel like my grip strength will naturally improve significantly from loading these all of the time.
I like the deep dish because it looks like I'm lifting more weight than I'm actually lifting. 😃 I would buy them. Good video. 👍🏻😎
I bought these USA Olympic plates, because the deep dish are apparently very loud. These thin plates are still very tinny and noisy. They’re ductile iron, but sound like pure steel. My Iron Grip iron plates are very dull sounding and much quieter. Also, several of these plates arrived very scratched up on the back.
I would never max out a barbell with any style of weight plate because i’m just that weak… but I DO want those thin style plates now XD
Me too 👍
As nice as those are, I really really want those deep dish plates! Seriously considering selling all my Titan Fitness bumper plates to get them!
Can we get some wider plates, maybe even plates are made to look like two plates stacked and hollow inside. So we all look stronger lol
These plates would be an awesome combo with the kensui ez vest‼️ 👌
Can you say outside diameter of the 25lbs plate ? 6:30
Thanks!
Cheap Weight (4x 10lb Plates)
All I want is for someone to make a 50 lbs bar and 50 lbs plates. Then I wouldn't have to do a freaking calculus equation just to figure out how to load the bar. We would then even have easier math than the metric crowd. I know that everything is 45 lbs because back in the day they wanted it to feel like the metric plates, but who cares? It is just weight on a bar.
"Never cut towards yourself."
*Proceeds to cut towards himself.
Speaking of thin plates, I really hope to see a video of the Weigh It Out plates.
Any possibility of seeing this review Coop?
How hard are they to handle compared to normal 45s? Not sure if gripping will be more of a chore with these or not, especially in tight spaces.
Makes a cleaner cut if you drop it on your toes.
Unless you're deadlifting 800 pounds plus, I think the deep dish are the best choice for most people.
Again great review!
Hmmm depends if you're training for powerlifting. Deep dish plates, especially past 400lbs, is significantly easier. So you want to train how you compete.
Other than that l, yeah, deep dish
Setting them next to each other really shows how exactly the same the finishing process is
Considering they are the exact same price as the calibrated plates I can’t understand why anyone would consider these plates. I like them more than the deep dish but for the price factor I would go with the colorful calibrated plates over the USA Olympic plates every day.
If they are half price why not lol, just grabbed 6 plates in thier boneyard section for half off😳😳
Ronnie coleman used thin plate in his videos
3:59 what you doing with your fingers
The 10lb plates are perfect for loadable dumbells
Yes, those were my exact thoughts when he unboxed them.- Mike, GGR Community Manager
Why do they type in imperial measurements rather than normal measurements that the entire world use?
45lb means diddly squat..
Rogue is an American company
11:32 but not at the same time.. 😂
Reminds me of those vintage Declathon/Decathon olympic plates I forget what they're called, but they were shaped like these in the sense that they were pancake style olympic plates. But the Declathon/Decathon plates were more rounded with no sharp edges I believe.
Look annoying to carry around tbh.
Not even sure what makes these "Olympic" plates to begin with. It's just marketing.
@@pyrocentury It's not marketing, it's how we label 2" holed plates along with the bar that accommodates them in the US.
nice but i will keep my deep dish plates. much easier to carry and pick up off the floor and they look better. until i squat over 700lbs, then i will be (forced) to have these. that would be a nice problem to have. they would be great for loading up a leg press though. I wish roque would have got the change plates done first before doing these plates.
When you pass 700 lbs just get a set of deep dish hundos
Yes nice. Nuce and pricey. Just because it has a fancy name in them , they are still cast iron. That's all. What do they cost 50 or more way to much. Its yhe gov fault for shutting the foundries. I know . try to find on they will produce them for you.
