Technique Plates (LB)

The rubber has a nice firm feel under the bar, not too bouncy, and they’ve held up well through months of deadlifts and cleans. Loading and unloading is quick since they’re not overly thick, which makes switching weights between sets a lot less tedious.

These plates have completely upgraded my home gym setup—the rubber coating is thick enough that I don't worry about dropping them on the concrete floor. They load onto the bar smoothly and the weight distribution feels balanced during my deadlifts.

The plates themselves are solid enough for basic lifts, but the rubber coating has a faint chemical smell that hasn’t faded after a few weeks. They load onto the bar fine, though the center hole feels a bit tighter than my old set.
