CAP Barbell Standard 1-Inch Grip Weight Plate | 1.25-50 lb Sizes

These are decent, cheap, 25-pound plate weights. I needed plate weights to help weigh down my punching bag stand (the thing would slide around after a good hit). These were the cheapest that I could find, and they look good, they're easy to carry, and they fit my punching bag stand (Everlast 4812).Some people grumbled about the boxing. Mine came in individual boxes; two were dinged up, one was okay. They're 25-pound weights in cardboard boxes; the boxes are gonna get smashed up (unless they're the perfect size for the weights; mine were not). The weights themselves were completely undamaged and unscratched. Perfect as far as I'm concerned.

25lb weights for $20 each is a great deal for weight plates (usually run at least $1 per pound) so I bought a pair.Pros:- Grip plates - holes are in perfect locations for many different exercises (one arm lifts, cross body lifts, overhead deltoid and tricep lifts, and core strengthening)- The coating is baked on, NOT PAINTED. Resistant to rust and chipping- Great size - the height of these plates and how high the barbell sits above the ground is perfect for deadlift starting position exercises.- Accurate weight - weighed both - both weighed in at 25lb +/- 0.2lb- Fits standard sized barbell/dumbbell with interior hole size of 1-1/8 inI only have one real con - the size of internal hole - this is where the patience comes in. I purchased 2 of these weight plates, but due to issues with quality control of the sizing/reaming (the holes were just millimeters too small), it took Amazon sending me 5 weight plates for me to receive 2 that properly fit my Onmie standard barbell/dumbbell set. That being said, Amazon fulfills this product so I just called amazon and everything was handled quickly and politely. So a con of quality control, but not of the actual product when manufacturered as intended.Overall, I would recommend this product. Easy to use grip locations and excellent size for use with a barbell.

These plates are exactly as described except for the color, which is more of a dark gray. Otherwise, they're perfect for whatever workout you choose to tackle. These plates are tough and the grips are perfect. I ordered the same brand 40lb dumbbell set and these plates to have a heavier weight set. My only gripe is that 3 is the limit per household, so I bought 2 "black" and 2 gray plates to even out my dumbbells and double the total weight. The size is pretty compact considering the grips, so they're pretty dense. Will order another pair or 4.

I've bought about 200 lbs worth of CAP barbell grip plates and I absolutely love them. Not only are they made of high quality material to withstand the abuse I've put them through, but the grips are both aesthetically pleasing and functional. I couldn't be happier with my purchase and I'll be buying more for sure. I will say, check your local sporting goods store though to see if they have them. Online I've found them at about $1/lb, but my local sports shop happened to have these for under $1/lb. Either way though these are a great value.

I bought 12 of these 10 lb standard plates to fill out my dumbbell set. The baked finish and 3-point design makes for easy handling. These will last my lifetime.With three to a side, I end up with a reasonably accurate 65 lb dumbbell, +/- 1.5 pounds overall. But to add another 10lb plate to each side (4 total at 80+ pounds) depends on the dumbbell handles I use.I have a really old set of quality rubber handle chrome dumbbells which allow me to make a a pair of 85lb dumbbells (4 ten pound plates to a side, plus weight of handle (approx. 5lbs). The rubber is malleable and allows for a bit of compression without the cracking and crumbling of the synthetic-rubber & chrome handles now on the market. I hate those things, and they always deteriorate, leaving me with a near useless chrome corkscrew.Although, I do have a pair of solid chrome knurled dumbbell handles, which are great but have dedicated room for only so many plates. They are what they are yet will last forever.Anyhow, 65-85 pound dumbbells became inadequate for improving my chest press and bent rows, so I decided to buy some Cap Barbell 25lb standard plates. The diameter and thickness of those 25 pounders worked out and didn't make for an overly cumbersome dumbbell(they're more compact than other 25lb plates). In fact, it became easier to rest the dumbbell on my quads and hoist into position during presses. It also provided me the capacity to increase dumbbell weight without having to buy obnoxiously expensive incremental dumbbell pairs. I don't lift to achieve pointless max weights or to emulate brain-dead sports figures and action heroes, so these weights are minuscule to many. But for modestly fit men, this system is very affordable, these plates costing a mere $8 each, shipped.Outstanding value. I have an amazingly complete home gym for sticking with Cap Barbell plates, Cap barbell rubber mats, and an assortment of standard grip bars and handles. I also have a Power Tech adjustable bench, lat and dip tower, hex bar, and a few other pieces. I do have Olympic plates and bars, but they're just too large to use quickly and safely in the small area I've reserved for my home gym.Lastly, accuracy is not dead on with these plates, so rotate between sets. In other words, don't be an anal-retentive whiner about disparities in total weight moved during a session and simply switch hands from one dumbbell to the next. Or pick up the bar with opposite hand placement between lifts. If you're some sort of strongman wannabe or just the typical prisspot male of today's culture - eye brows perfectly plucked and weights accurate to the micro-gram - go blow money on better scaled equipment, and blow your gym buddies, too. They'll appreciate the affirmation. Just kiddin'.

Got these before the pandemic. I got 4 plates at $3.99 per plate. Cant beat that new. Like the hand holes on them. Seem to be of good quality5 stars. Its weights and cheap, cant beat it. if it gets beck down to this price, give them a check.

Delivered way earlier than the due date which, since this was Christmas time during the coronavirus I expected it to come weeks later. However it came early! This is a very sturdy 1 inch weight plate. I believe it comes in a 2 inch option also but I was very happy because I don’t have a 2 inch bar and don’t want to buy one for $300!
