FAQ

Q: Are these plates coated in rubber or enamel?
They’re coated in a protective black enamel—not rubber—giving them that old-school gym feel with added rust resistance.

Q: Will they fit my barbell?
Absolutely. These are standard 2” Olympic plates and will fit any Olympic-style barbell or plate-loaded machine.

Q: Are they loud when dropped?
Being solid cast iron, they’re louder than rubber-coated plates and not ideal for dropping from overhead. That said, they’re incredibly tough and built to handle heavy use.

Q: Can I use them outdoors?
They’re best suited for indoor use. If you use them outside, make sure they’re stored properly to avoid rust.

Q: Who are these best for?
Ideal for lifters who want a no-nonsense, high-durability plate with a classic feel
