Use shorter blades on the other side of the caliber when measuring inner diameter : )
*Caliper* but yes, you’re correct. They’re using the tool upside down. 4:08
@@paulg6421 lol, what a world. Made mistakes on a comment that called out others' mistakes.
@@DingusSquatfordJr.Thats an incomplete sentence. Correction x3🎉
This! It made my eye twitch watching this.
@@paulg6421micrometer Paul
hey uhhh 4:07 4:32 there's a better way to use those calipers to measure inside diamaters
I was floored when I saw that 😂
Exactly this. This does put the accuracy in question for me. Can you confirm you measured using the using the inside hooks?
Just so you know, the top part of the calipers (the two spikes) are met to measure inside diameter.
(of course you might be doing it to generate comments to increase engagement) (which I'm perfectly happy to do)
Coop, have you checked our shipping prices lately? A 45 ships for $10.50 anywhere in the country...
Their weight tolerance is the real win here. And, they are cheaper for Canadians than the American options due to shipping and customs issues.
Rep just came out with a bunch of new barbells. It would be awesome to do a rundown of their whole barbell lineup and how they each compare to others.
I'd love to see a video reviewing every barbell in Rep's new line. Or at least the Double Black Diamond Power Bar.
you gotta review the walmart/amazon everyday essentials bumper plates
The StrengthCo 45s are $237 shipped if your state has sales tax. If it doesn’t it’s $21 less so $216 shipped for made in USA
$21 for a pair of 45s anywhere in the US, including HI and AK. We charge sales tax in CA, TX, and SC
@@thestrengthco Yep! And
Good ole TN
When measuring for inner diameter using calipers, you need to use the top side of the tool. Though it is still possible to get pretty close the way shown.
I have the mighty grips, and they're great budget plates. The grey powder coating has lasted well, and there is very little rust, but that has more to do with living in a low-humidity environment. It was also super handy that I live in the same city the company is located, so I didn't have to pay for any shipping. LOL
I used to work for these guys and they are dedicated to delivering the best service and the best quality-price ratio possible.
Hey Coop! I just checked StrengthCo's site, and shipping for a pair of 45lb plates is $21 to MD, bringing my total to $216 per pair. Also, Bell's site has a pair of 45's listed as $239.
Yep. Same. he’s wrong. $216 for made in USA
I went to the rogue website this morning and they charge shipping for their plates. With taxes and shipping looking at $100 difference between BoS and rogue
Get the Rogue.
Great video, thanks Coop. It would be great to see your “best of class” for every plate category given this recent review.
Every BoS plate? But they must ship thousands and I only see about a dozen showing in this video.
Please review the Homegrown Lifting plates! Easily some of the the cheapest plates on the market and I love my set.
You should do the everyday essentials bumper plates from Walmart
I am utterly SHOCKED that the company that sent you something to review was almost perfect in weight tolerance. Absolutely shocked
I've had good luck with BOS plates -- all very close to their stated weight. They also support their products well and will quickly replace plates that aren't within tolerance or arrived damaged.
I like how this review almost turned into a review for rogue
Ordered my plate loaded cable tower from them and planning on orders some plates, just in time!
Hey coop! Would love to see a video on the official Maximum advantage grip attachment vs all the knock offs
FYI, I looked at a set of 4x45 2x25 4x10 2x5 & 2x2.5 from both Strength Co and BoS cast iron gray plates. Inclosing shipping to my house in NJ, the Strenfth Co were less expensive.
Yep
When you do rogue please measure the echo bumper plates outside 450mm +/- 3mm tolerance. It's a size tolerance snuck under the specs... Their bumpers from my personal experience had the 10s and 15s as the largest so first to hit the ground and absorb all the weight on a bar, with shortest warranty this is not ideal.. them being larger is the opposite of other companies with smaller 10s* and/or 15s so it goes against industry standards where the light denominations are the same size or smaller.
I have a 25lb pair of Rogue Echo V2s, and they're not the same diameter as the Fringe Sport bumper plates I have. I was disappointed because I didn't want 25s to hold all of that weight. I'm filling out my collection with Fringe Sport bumpers because they're cheaper than Rogue.
Holy the budget iron plates are 175USD now?
I was building my home gym in the COVID days and they were selling for ~130CAD
Do FringeSport's plates. They seem to have a very good name/rep online and a smaller than the big 4 (or 3.5)
@ 4:32, Sam is using the wrong side of the caliper to measure the hole diameter. That side is used to measure outside diameter, the other side is used for inside diameter.
Hey Coop...what about some of Watson's offerings? Their barbells, EZ-Curl bars, weight plates, maybe some of their machines etc.
A few people have seen their dumbbells, but not much else.
I’d think that since they shipped them to you to review, they were probably measured and weighed before they shipped them.
Eleiko and ATX (Europe)
Yess thanks for this vid
They used to sell 15 lb milled plates. You could get 4-15s, 4-5's. and 2-2.5's, along with your 45's, and make any weight combo with the least possible amount of change plates but they stopped offering that for some reason.
Please 🙏 reviews also on eleiko ❤
I know its a lot but please continue this for the rest of the brands, at least REP, Rouge, Titan, Fringe, and CAP
Have you considered checking out goods from Strength-shop? Probably larger in Europe, than in the US, but since they do have a US shop, it would be interesting to get your take on it.
I would be interested in this also! As well as other EU brands like ATX etc
You should review Bolt Fitness plates/products(Octabell adjustable) and though it’s not plate related you should review RitFit Power Racks! Great work keep it up, helping my build my garage gym with more knowledge!
I haven’t watched a vid for a while and good lord I can’t stop looking at the live rug on your top lip
You asked for suggestions? Darko! Dude is killing it in the accessory arena but it’s radio silence on your channel
I'm beginning to think the promised Core Adjustable DB review is never coming 😢
I actually would love your opinion on the calibrated plates. Those were the ones I was looking at online 😂.
Get the Rogues over those. The BOS calibrated plates are very low quality.
The black with colored text look a lot like Fringe Sport Contrast Bumpers. Those are the best general bumper option here (if you're like me) for one always overlooked reason - thinner ridges near the perimeter. This allows for easy one hand carrying even on 45s. The wider lips are too big and there's nothing to get your fingers under (unless you have massive hands) so they are more difficult to support. One of the advantages of iron is handling, and while these cannot compare - you at least have the option of one hand handling that is good enough for your typical loading/deloading.
A Durometer is a tool used to measure "shore" a value for hardness. A rubber will be 70 shore, 80shore, 90 shore, etc. Big pet peeve and commonly wrong on manufacturer's websites.
I hope that B roll with the caliper was just that and not the actual method. Why weren’t you using the internal jaws?
had the same exact thought
YES!! THIS!! I work in a machine shop and this blew my freaking mind. Use the caliper correctly man!! ID tips!!
I have the Titan easy grip bumper plates. I like them. Are you planning on doing anything from Crindle Fitness?
Coop forgot there fractional plates, they look sweet
18:25 was hilarious like something from Idiocracy
How about a review of Xmark fitness curl bars and barbells? They have so many options and alot of them seem very similar that it's difficult to make a decision.
Hey Coop! I was wondering if you could review the Major Lutie PLM03 Power Cage.
I'm down for some made in the USA. I'm a veteran, etc. That said, I'll look into strength co. TBH I can't do rogue again. The customer service/support, logistics and other aspects about them are horrible.
Rogue only has free shipping when you buy a full set, not individual pairs. So saying a pair of 45s cost $180 is misleading. To me in WA it was about $90 shipping for a pair of 45s, so price is more like $270 before tax. Shipping is baked into the price of the sets I’m sure.
Hy I'm International truck driver, and I want to no what is the best gym equipment that we can have, and do vídeo on it! Pls
Coop I’d love you to do this on Vulcan strength. I have their polyurethane plates. They are vet owned an me being a vet I don’t think they get enough shine they have great plates
All rogue barbells reviewed plz 😊
Never mind....I found it. Good job GGR
Coop, can you do all of Rogues plates?
Any feedback on those fractional plates? Mine arrive today. Pretty sure they will be in spec.
They must of heard you, because they have now listed the Durameter, which are in the 80's
Dead bounce bumper plate durometer rating from website: Durometer Rating
88 (10, 15lb) / 85 (25 - 55lb)
I always add a coat of rust to make my plates look used. That way they don't look like eye candy plates and you lift with them
Rogue deep dish on top any day baby
You really need to do reviews on Dick's Sporting Goods Ethos brand. Although customer service sucks, they have created some good quality equipment.
Hey Coop! Could you please review the Syedee leg press hack squat machine at Walmart? I really want to see it!!!
Please review American barbell
I've yet to find anyone - maybe a huge fan of Metallica's logo in the "Load" days - that likes the design on the Might Grip plates. Shocked that went unremarked upon.
8:29 those 25lb plates don't look so.. DEEP dished..
I’m curious how often people need to replace their weight plates, due to wear and tear. If I’m not deadlifting directly on concrete or storing them in the backyard in the winter under 3 ft of snow, how is an iron plate going to fail?
Discover that I can save 20% on top of any deals by picking up from Indianapolis. A 2-3 hr drive
Not plate related but can I'm just starting my home gym. Not only I do not have a ton of room/space, my budget at this time is also not huge. I was thinking about buying the BodySolid bench that combines leg extension with leg curl (horizontal - which is what I want). In my country costs around €600,00 maybe.
But I am not sure about it when it's in the horizontal - leg curl - mode.
Could you please make a review about this bench - sometime, when you see fit, if you see fit?
Thank you!
Warning! Potential scam involving Garage Gym Reviews (GGR). I won a prize but had to pay $109 for shipping. Then they asked for an additional $150 customs fee. After paying, they said the prize was delayed due to an accident. Weeks later, they offered a refund but demanded $150 and new shipping costs. When the prize was sent to the wrong address, they asked me to pay for shipping again. I refused and requested a refund. They insisted I pay $150 to receive it. I only paid GGR, not the shipping company. This situation is at a standstill, and GGR has been rude and unreasonable. Spread awareness to avoid dealing with this.
I don't deadlift at home because I don't want my iron plates to hit the floor. I have rouge deep dish.
Are bells of steel or rouge rubber plates taller than deep dish?
I don't mind having 2 rubber 45 I can put in the beginning. To hit the floor instead of iron.
I have their crumb bumper plates because they were they were the only plates I could find during the pandemic, and I love them. They feel great to handle and they feel really sturdy.
Same 👌
Do they have a strong rubber smell?
@@ryandenton3016 I don't remember. If they had a smell, it was probably buried by the stronger smell of the horse stall mats I got. They were a bit oily though.
Coop, you recently did a video on very thin steel plates. Link, Please. ty.
Can you do a review on sunny fitness equipment. Any of their equipment if fine. However If possible fan bikes.
Any review on their Calibrated Powerlifting Plates?
No mention about the change plates 🤔
4:07 spot the mistake
American Barbell please
FYI, your link in the description is to the Weight It Out plates, not Bells of Steel.
How bout some weight plate give ways!? Lol
Hey Coop! You realize all the hole diameter measurements were made with the wrong side of the caliper and thus are probably incorrect?
I think others have said this but you werent measuring the hole diameter correctly you are using the wrong side of the calipers for inside measuring
Can you review the “zoomster” Amazon crumb plates?
Why do you and Sam keep loading the weights backwards on the bar? Is it so we can see the markings (for the video) or do you just like stressing your wrists?
They are trying to trigger Rippetoe . . .
Rogue does not have free shipping lmao. 50 dollars to get a pair of deep dishes from Ohio to NC. 120 for a pair of deep dishes and a few kettlebells. Love rogue but you def pay for shipping 95% of the time.
You said 1% tolerance on the grey plates at 4:51 the scale shows 44.4lb which is out of spec assuming the scale is dead accurate (probably not). Think you need a better scale.
York barbell plates
@@rajkhan9643 shame
maybe its just me but that "slash" on the side of competition bumper plates ....i know yawn but i am old school ! YA why ?? it throws me off ??
Has anyone used Fray Fitness bumper plates? They are extremely cheap and I was looking to get them to save some cost as I build my garage jim. I won’t be dropping my barbell much or from very high. Any thoughts?!?
Let’s say I’m just gonna get bumper plates. The normal plain Jain black rubber plates. Which brand would have the skinniest bumper plate?
Why leave the calibrated out!
Fringe + titan
I think the confusion is with how your mesureing. Your yousing you dial calipers on the wrong side. 😮
Can someone tell me why the 2.5lb and 10lb change plates are always the same color (white) with companies?
Second hand embarrassment for you how you took this so serious but then you don’t even know how to use the calliper to measure the centre bore 😂
Why did BOS discountinue the Deep dish? , it so disappointing!
Bruh, the calibrated plates
even with anchors bumper plates still end up cracking in the long run if you drop them.
I was the first to review their deep dish plates! 🙂
Hey there - you can get bundle discounts if you get a few pairs at once which would help the cost, including shipped
Any opinion on plate packaging? I've had plates come in destroyed by poor packaging and the shipper tossing it around.
Plates facing out? 🙄
Damn! "Posted 1 min ago"
"OH I'm gonna be the 1st like!"
Was the 5th one jeezzz lol
