We designed these plates around the details that matter when you train.

We designed every plate in the line to take up as little sleeve space as possible, with a precision-machined center hole for a snug fit on the sleeve. Every plate up to 45 lbs is no more than 1.25″ wide, leaving plenty of room on the bar for more weight. Most sizes feature a 1.99″ inner diameter, while the 100-lb plate measures 2.01″. Even at 100 lbs, it’s only 2.25″ wide.

Each plate is cast in the USA, electrocoated to resist rust, and held to a ±2% weight tolerance.

Need a bar to go with your plates? We sell bars. If you’d also like a set of weights that include a bar, we offer entire gym sets.

AMERICAN MADE IRON

We never thought about making our plates anywhere else. We’ve always wanted all our products to be made in the USA. Our search for a high-quality American foundry led us to Waupaca Foundry, which has been making best-in-class iron castings for over 70 years.

Headquartered in Waupaca, Wisconsin, Waupaca Foundry is one of the largest foundries in America with a melt capacity of 10,000 tons per day and is the world’s largest producer of gray and ductile iron castings. With vast experience in the industry, they were able to take our design prototype and manufacture our plates to our exact specifications.

BUILT TO LAST

Our goal was to make plates that are functional, easy to handle, and, above all, accurate. Cast from gray iron using innovative technology, every plate delivers toughness, precision, and reliability from casting through finishing.

Our 45s, 35s, and 25s are thin by design yet feature a deep lip for easy handling. The inner diameter of every plate is engineered for a snug fit on the bar. Made from American iron, these plates are built to last a lifetime.

PRECISION machining

After casting, our plates are machined along both the outer and inner diameters. This process creates a smooth finish and ensures both consistent dimensions and weight. Every plate — from 100 lb. down to 0.75 lb. — undergoes the same machining process, ensuring accuracy within 2% of its specified weight.

To keep our plates from wobbling or shifting once loaded, we made the inner diameter of every plate 45 lb. and under 1.99″. Industry-standard barbell sleeves are 1.95″ in diameter, resulting in a precise fit on the bar.

Electro Coated

Our plates are washed and pretreated before a layer of e-coat is applied, adding durability and corrosion protection beneath the finished surface.

Popular in the automotive and agricultural industries for its durability, e-coating is a process that uses electricity to bond paint to the surface of the iron. This finish helps prevent corrosion, resists chipping, and provides a more uniform coating than other methods used to finish plates.

Compact design

We designed every plate in the line to take up as little sleeve space as possible. Every plate up to 45 lbs is no more than 1.25″ wide, leaving plenty of room on the bar for more weight. Even the 100-pound plate is only 2.25″ wide.
