- In today's video we take a look at some new (old) calibrated powerlifting plates. There was a time when chrome plates were quite common, but like all things old, they're coming back into popularity. These plates from Hansu offer some very appealing aesthetics, but is it worth the price to play?

These plates are so incredibly beautiful, i would sell my family for the 459 kg set (Joking 😉). But seriously, the prettiest plates on the planet imo, cant wait until they sell them separately
Even with the high price they seem to have sold really well
There are also the ATX chromed plates, but those are of course from Europe. Sad that Eleiko and Ivanko both stopped making these, would love to see those legacy manufacturers come back there. How snug do the Hanu chromed plates fit on the bar? Because a 5.6 or 5.4 diameter can make a big difference
I have seen the ATX as well as others by Xmaster, but just can't seem to get them sourced here in the US. I think the other brands dropped them due to the high cost and low volume of sales. As far as the plates go, the fit quite snug, so expect the centers to get some good wear on them.
Really nice looking plates. I'd love to have these in my gym.
Dude, 1 video in 3 months? let's go!
I have some Pro Barbell chrome kilo plates and some Young Power Barbell chrome kilo plates. Both seem to have milled edges with cast centers. Just some oddballs I picked up.
Sound nice!
I got 330 kg of calibrated Eleiko powerlifting plates in 2022, ordered on November 17th 2022, for what was at the time $1292.18, including shipping, straight from Eleiko. 13754.4 SEK. It is currently $1,245.51. Man, what a deal I got!
I recall when they had a similar deal here, you could combine a discount code with free shipping and it was super cheap! One of my best buys was the first black friday Rogue did the KG plates. I got a 459kg set for $1300 delivered.
Hey Brandon, which set of plates would you recommend out of Hansu chrome (non coloured) and the strongarm chrome? I am also looking at rogue made in usa ecoat (non deep dish) and strenghco, but have concerns about the durability of the ecoat.
Also have you tried the Hansu stainless steel powerlifting bar? I am thinking of potentially picking that up or a AB chewy bar.
So for the plates you've listed quite a few varying ones, most of which I own. Out of the ones you listed I use the Strength Co ones the most. They look good, are accurate, finish holds up well, and are affordable.
They look unreal. Come a long way from your blue RML6 and the calibrated ivankos 🙂
And the Rogue Crossfit Games bumpers before that!
Id be afraid to use them😂😂😂
Just gives em some character!
I was thinking about the Hansu plates but I'm not about to give them my SSN. Just not comfortable with it. I'll buy the Rogue ones and drive the 2 hours to Columbus. It's an excuse to go visit friends and hit German Village for supper.
thats crazy they ask for SSN. I wouldn't either.
@@MetalsForBrunch it's supposed to be because of federal import stuff. That saids I'm still not about that.
Yeah it's a big ask but they've had some issues with customs and adding in the persons details seems to expedite.
Rogue doesn't even sell chrome plates in higher increments.
Got a full set and used your code ❤
Dang dude, it's times like these I wish it were a paying code lol!
I don't compete or lift much but I want a chrome set of plates lol. I prefer the Watson stainless plates.
Those are def nice as well and offer customization
Is there generally a longer shipping time? I ordered a pair of 25kg plates from Hansu over a month ago and haven’t heard any updates or received a reply from their support email.
Depends on the plates and if they're in stock
Said it before and I'll say it again, that set is just beautiful and clean. If I were to get standard calibrated plates, it would be just the 25kg plates, because they match my gym setup. That Chrome is a great offering for pretty much any gym aesthetic.
Big boy weights!
In the UK we've got Mirafit, ATX, Strength Shop and Watson (Marine Grade Stainless Steel apparently).
Marine grade stainless? Damn...🤑
You have Kustom Kit too
@@Invictus13666 You never know when you want to do some underwater squats...
@@GavinBrown where I am things rust or mildew (depending) overnight. Marine stainless would help with my sanity 😂
I think the StrengthShop ones are actually steel & zinc!
Plates are good looking! I like more the colored ones. Does the chrome flake easily when doing deadlifts? Yeah, hard to calculate the weight on my Watsons when you are looking in front of them.
These are a nice compromise for me. Got rid of my previous comp plates b/c I didn't like all the colors 🤪
Those are some good looking plates. The Black and Chrome looks good too.
I wonder if we'll see some black chrome
@@BasementBrandon sorry didn't really articulate my thought. I meant the plate aesthetics you have. Black plates and Chrome plates. Looks really cool.
Man these plates are beautiful!
Right?!
Kustom Kit has a really nice looking calibrated chrome set with painted edges. For about 6 weeks though their web site has been messed up here in the US. I told them but it’s still not fixed 😢
they went out of business
Yeah as someone else mentioned, they are in the process of closing.
OMG that’s horrible 🫤They had some really cool looking machines too. It would be cool if they could at least sell some of the patents or plans off to Watson.
These plates are insanely beautiful
All show, no go here in my basement JamaRR 😅
They are beautiful looking.
💯
These look so nice. My problem is I don’t load weight when I use kilos. I load colors. “Let’s put 2 reds and a green on”.
Hah yeah def threw me off during this video!
I noticed youre now using the chrome colored plates. Any particular reason for the change?
They're newer and in front of these ones, so first in, first out lol.
Beautiful
Thanks, I work out.
Man they look nice.
Come on up and lift em!
Chrome kinda falls into a shade in the black and white scheme...I think they look great and I'm big on chrome but I'm an old muscle car guy...
You get a pass for that!
anyone buying the zkc plates be prepared to wait a long long time. They don’t put it on the website but ive had friends buy plates from them and they took forever to ship.
Need to sweet talk them with whispers from the basement.
Hum apparently still only available as the set :(
I believe so but they're working on breaking it up.
Wouldn't want 'em couldn't use 'em but they sure are pretty!
Right on!
Damn! I am a machined plate guy. But those things are beautiful.
More plates, more dates.
The colors help me not load the bar wrong 🤦🏾♂️🤷🏿♂️😂
😅
Boy, those FBMP UMass Eleiko plates sure look good. Might as well offer $15/lb imo
Lol at least I didn't Dox ya!
Sold for asking muahahaha@@BasementBrandon
These Hansus really are a deal in comparison lol
Wait a minute, my ask was only $7.2/lb! A real bargain! (Two pairs of 45s, I'm not a monster.)
I wouldn't consider your license plate sufficiently "blurred". Just a heads up.
I was gonna comment that
I didn’t blur it at all. It’s not something that really bothers me TBH. I also no longer own that vehicle or the license plate.
@@BasementBrandonwhat did you replace it with? Japanese? German?
@@reginaldchesterfield8110 wife went German, I took her Explorer for the time being.
The only thing I can't stand is the sound they make when you load them on the barbell if your sleeves are ribbed
I think I prefer ribbed, smooth sleeves tend to let the weights slide a bit too much for me when not using a collar (like I do on bench)
Stormtroopers...chrome...you crushed on captain phasma, didn’t you?
Nice set.
Of plates.
If I add gold in would I be more Enoch?
@@BasementBrandon a bit garish, but it’d work.
once they have lbs, im all in!!!
I think for these it makes more sense to get KG since it's what you'd see in a comp, but I get it!
Very,, Very, limited demographic their shooting for there huh,, LOL
They are sharp, I tell you!!!
Hey Brandon, don't I see those plates in the background of Gluck's videos?
First time I saw them behind him, I said to myself Basement Brandon had something to do with that. Haha
IMO,, the sharpest Plates I have ever laid my eyes on!!!!!!!
He does indeed have some, we'll make a powerlifter out of him yet!
Kensui has chrome plates.
I've seen that, they look very similar to the Xmaster ones I have.
Have you ever seen the Strongarm chrome kg plates? Very colorful while still being chrome, aesthetic imo, although I know you aren't a big fan of Strongarm
Edit; just saw you mentioned em!
I do like StrongArm stuff, I just liked it more when it was priced super budget friendly.
I'm sure Brandon would turn himself actually black and white to match his gym if it was an option. 😂
I mean I'm pretty pale 😅
These plates are nice, but cost more than my entire gym… so…
Haha yeah def a turn off in that regard.
I don’t love Chrome (Gold Member voice)
Chrome won't get you home
Would still prob oxidize in your garage 😅
@@BasementBrandon yep if stainless steel will these probably will too
I wish the branding look so bad and the name “Hansu” … design is very…china.
I know a lot don't care for the logo, but it doesn't bother me TBH
