275 lb Olympic Plate Set

Coming from a fitness gear set this is a huge day and night difference. I can already tell the maintenance on these plates will be minimal as opposed to straight iron + silver/grey coating. The set also comes in a much more preferred 4x45/2x25-10-5-2.5 format as opposed to a pair of 35s and an extra pair of 10s that fitness gear and many other companies are doing nowadays. \r\nOverall the biggest complaint I got is the oily rubber smell which is unavoidable nowadays and some very small scuff marks which both mostly go away with small amounts of dish soap and warm water and time. Very satisfied with the quality, definitely feels like it'll last me long enough to pass down to my sons.

Durability and longevity. I've had these weight plates for about a month now. I use these plates 6 times a week in a shaded patio and cover them with a tarp when not in use. I mention this because the rubber coating is already wearing off after a month. I don't drop these weights either; if anything, I'm diligent with them. I lay them on concrete at most and mainly on a stall mat. There were also no issues with shipping. Before purchasing these Ironmaster plates, I considered the Rogue Echo bumper plates. Still, they were a bit more expensive, so I went with Ironmaster. I'm a big fan of Ironmaster, but I wish I had spent more on the Rogue Echo bumper plates for better durability and longevity. \r\n\r\nRubber odor and off-gassing. They come with an odor, and 1 month in, it's about 65% less than when it came brand new. This is no issue for me. As I stated earlier, I lift outdoors on my patio. If anything, I like the smell; it's like a new car smell. You should consider this if you have a sensitive nose and live indoors. \r\n\r\nWeight Increments. Another reason why I bought this set is because of the weight increments included with the set. It's the most efficient increment to buy. With this set, you can increase weight from 45lbs (bar) to 320lbs in 5lbs increments. So, bar 45lbs + 275lbs, you have 320lbs total weight to grow into. \r\n\r\nAesthetics. I think we all can agree the name "Ironmaster" just goes too fucking hard. The shape and color does not piss you off and the…

With this weight set I finally have a complete home gym thanks to Ironmaster. It started with adjustable dumbbells, then super bench, then hypercore attachment….then took the plunge and got the IM2000 (love love love) and finally this weight set. The quality is outstanding as is the service. The coating on my set is excellent and the off gassing was very minimal. I love the grip holes. Super happy with my ironmaster gym.
