HulkFit 1 inch or 2 inch Cast Iron Weight Plate Set with Multi-Grip Handles and Enamel Coated for Barbells & Strength Training - Grey

Amidst all this COVID mayhem, it's been very hard to locate iron plates (and dumbbells). I've been checking local fitness suppliers weekly for months and they have nothing in stock. They keep telling me "we expect them sometime next month". That began in March 2020 and it's now it's nearly December 2020. I went online months ago searching for plates and the iron plate prices have been astonishing, even for used stuff on eBay. Plates used to be about $1.50 a pound and I've seen plate prices over $5 a pound for the brand name iron. So when I saw these plates, I took a chance and ordered them. I wasn't sure what level quality they would be and when one of the plates arrived today, I was pleasantly surprised. Pro: -Nice fit and finish -The plate was exactly 25 pounds - I put it on my shipping scale (see photo). With generic plates, you never know about the weight accuracy but mine was perfect -Easier to grab versus solid round plates -$2 a pound is reasonable given the circumstances -Quick free shipping - the second plate is due in a couple of days - split shipment. No matter, as long as the quality is good I can happily wait another 2 days for the second plate after searching for them for 8-9 months Con: -None that I can see. I've been a gym rat for 50+ years and it's always been at a membership gym, never had much of my own equipment but COVID has changed that. While I prefer a real gym with my lifting buddies, we have to make concessions these days so I've finally accumulated enough gear for a "COVID home gym". Gyms in NY where I am located had been closed from March - July. They closed last week, probably for months again so a backup plan is required. Even after COVID clears up, hopefully in another 6+ months or so, I'll still have my backup gear for when the weather is bad or I don't have time for a gym run. Based on what I've seen and measured with these particular plates, I highly recommend them. Hope that helps!

Just what I needed when we moved. I had an odd number of plate. I ordered this one the right price good quality.

Such a great weight you can do so may exercises with just this. It's easy to hold, good size and weight for squats, reverse lunges and upper body workouts. Solid and good quality.

50lbs of weight for 50 dollars is hard to come by in person let alone online with free shipping. I half expected these to be bad quality or arrive late. They're better than the name brand weights I bought at dicks, the same size, fit my Barbell better with no wiggle, feel and look good and showed up in less than 3 days even without having Amazon prime. I will definitely be buying from this company again.

Decent weights.

Great value and it works

These weight plates aren't just for crushing workouts, they're multitasking legends. The enamel coated finish gives them that sleek, "I mean business" vibe, and the multi-grip handles make moving them around feel like you've leveled up in the gym game. Perfect for squats, presses, deadlifts, you name it. But here's the twist: I also used them to hold down a sewing pattern while cutting fabric. No pins, no fuss just pure iron willpower keeping everything in place. Who knew fitness gear could moonlight as a craft assistant? Talk about versatility!!

Good affordable weight

The concept of weight plates are generally the same; a distinct set of weights that pairs with barbells. However, these HulkFit weight plates have two main advantages (1) The three hexagonal spaces along the plates make it so much safer and easier to handle when loading onto the barbell, or if you are using the plates for other exercises such as abs-side-bends, or weighted-sit-ups. (2) The metal material of these weight plates is perfect for spray-painting to match the colour of your gym (or your colour preference) which makes workout way more fun. :-) I first purchased a pair of 25lbs plates in 2022 and spray-painted them and to my delight, they lasted perfectly! So, this year (2023) I purchased two more pairs; a second pair of 25lbs and a pair of 10lbs and spray painted them too to create the perfect fun pink at-home gym. I used to have bumper weight plates from another brand and I eventually had donated them and purchased the additional weight plates from HulkFit instead. Bumber plates sound good in theory but, I personally found the lack of safety in spaces to grip the plates for different workouts to be annoying and a little scary. If you are not powerlifting and slamming weights on the floor but instead, mainly focused on repetition exercises such as squats, deadlifts, bench presses, hip-thrusts, sit-up, ab-side-bends etc. then, I much prefer these plates. It really does depend on what your workout preference is but safety was definitely super important to me because I wanted to have more control in how I'm handling the plates especially if my hands are sweaty. After using them for a year, I would definitely recommend.

Los discos se sienten de buena calidad y no tienen imperfecciones. Lo que me gusto bastante es su peso, es exacto. Muy conforme con mi compra.

Great quality weights! I’d purchase them again for sure.

El único detalle es que El anuncio dice JUEGO DE DISCOS (se entiende que son DOS) Solo me enviaron UNO Pero son excelentes productos

Exactly what I was looking for. Good quality/finish and ergonomic design. Was having trouble finding 1 inch plates but these make a great addition to my home gym
