These USA-made weight plates are almost perfect—and that’s saying a lot. In this video, I review the full set of Weight It Out Cast Iron Machined Plates (45s, 25s, 10s, 5s, and 2.5s). I cover how the newer versions have fixed the sharp edge issues, how they handle in training, and why they might be the best space-saving plates for serious home gym owners.
I break down:
• Size and thickness comparisons
• Barbell fit and handling
• Build quality and finish
• Pros, cons, and who they’re actually for
