Exactly. These aren’t meant to be some special plates like calibrated competition plates.

Ya but if Rogue is cheaper and has a slightly better product then ya Rogue is better

They looked pretty messy. If they are uneven then deads will be off. If the sleeve hole is not smooth then it will eat up bar sleeves.... Spend a bit of money on bars and would rather them not be chewed up.

I have mostly cheap Chinese plates and can see the value of nicer plates for sure. Mine are inconsistent as hell, they rattle around on the bars and make the bars want to roll around randomly. Even when I don't strictly need collars I often use them in an attempt to lock the plates down so they don't make things more difficult than they need to be. And don't come at me with some sass about lifting should be hard! Moving weight should be a challenge, fighting the bar when you want to do consecutive consistent reps is a pain and doesn't pay off in gains.

Yeah it's not like they're meant to be calibrated Eleiko or Rogue plates for competitions, they're iron weights for the gym, easy peasy.

For real. Cornbread or GTFO.

As do I. Seeing as I had no money left over after for kitchen implements.

@@blackblaze1996 right on brother, but who needs money when you’re jacked.

Them bukkaki plates are something else eh

@@vmc805 you aint lying bruh!! Lots of stain issues.

@Mr3lric4774 understandable error given the porn 'stache.'

Name checks out

100% agreed!!! If it can build muscle and strength what else do you need??!!!!

They made weights after the 70s? Maybe i should look for new plates🤔 Nah😎

They are but I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt to just show which are which

@@curtism6722 nah check his insta, it was on purpose 😂

The plate is DESIGNED with a LIP

@@cody4916 “That LIP”

But, everybody pays...that's the marxist loving, social democrat Portland way.

Imported products seem to be having more problems because they're trying to keep up with demand. For instance, we've seen some people get Rogue Dumbbells (which are imported) that have different lettering and different knurling. As far as MIA stuff, there have been a few more QC issues than normal that we've noticed, but nothing dramatic.

Well. Based off price no. The Titan set is almost $200 more than the Rogue set. And the Strong Arm plates are a better value if you don't want the micro plates.

I have a few pars of old weider kilo played and then fitness gear from dick's🤙🤙🤙

I have a set of vintage 20kg York deep dish plates I picked up second hand, love them, you can feel by using them they’ve been stress tested over the last 30/40 years and still standing strong 💪🏼

@@user-wc1nd9ie6x Nice!!

Rogue 45’s deep dish are $155 for a pair

He doesnt have one bc he doesnt lift.

@@powerbar8991 😂😂😂

Strength co 10s and 5s would be better, same black e coat as rogues and there machined plates.

@@mikep1584 great points

Kind regretting it tho...

@@ChrisCoyotee Thirty dollar difference between generic Chinesium quality iron plates with a stated +3%/- 3% (2.7 lb range 45 lb plate) weight tolerance and rough finish cast bore vs. Rogue iron plates with a machined periphery, back and bore with a +2%/-0% (0.9 lb range 45 lb plate) weight tolerance...the Kabuki plates don't even have a proper chamfered bore...just look at the difference in bore finish between the Kabuki at 5:27 vs the Rogue at 5:32. Kabuki is using an unnamed "small foundry" in 'soy latte sipping', smash and burn, America hating Portland, and since the plates are a new offering, demand may quickly outstrip their ability to produce and deliver on time leaving you waiting longer than you would have for the Rogue. I'd be calling and cancelling with Kabuki and seeing I you can get back on Rogue's list.

...a proper machined bore for starters

Not many people understand casting processes. I would be more concerned about porosity (I.e. voids in the casting) than whether the back of the plate has been machined, or not. After that, I want to see the collars properly machined, the plates properly balanced coming out of the molds, and the plate edges cleaned up in order to avoid cuts. Paint is paint. It’s going to wear off.

I'm surprised that after the casting most companies don't have some general code/program setup so they can drop the plates right in and have a cnc clean them up quick but i guess that just adds to the cost...

@@stevenrobare6668 Once the plates come out of the foundry, they are run over a shaker table that breaks the casting sand up separating the cast iron from the sand so that the sand can be recycled. More than likely, the casting will have the sprue ground off right afterward, and possibly have the edges broken in order to cut down on the sharp edges. CNC equipment is expensive to purchase and operate. Fixtures are required, are expensive and not universal. More than likely, the plates are sent either to another supplier who has CNC capability, or sent to Kabuki assuming that they have the equipment. The sand texture on the back of the plate is cosmetic, and provides a bit of gripping surface due to the slightly rough texture. Hopefully, Kabuki is concentrating on weight variance and milling the areas where milling is needed; in the hub, and on the edges.

@@mikeb9396 "Hopefully"...not. These plates are not comparable to the Rogue plates, unless you consider that they are both round.

@@stevenrobare6668 "sand casted" iron, not steel.

It’s the same one you have at the top of your bar rack

ohh and I like that matte colour, but yeah how durable it will turn out, dunno.

He made a video. He is stronger than he looks

@@Timm129 thanks! I'll go look for it

They do...it's on their site.

They aren't supposed to be coop explained it in the deep dish video go and watch it again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@HauptmannGallenstein I don't have to watch it again, I understand why they originally were manufactured that way because they didn't have to make the 25s deep dish but if you've ever held those with one hand they're a pain in the ass to grip and one of the main reason people like deep dish is their ease of handling. Us a complete set should look similar anyways. It's called inovation and what's why the deep dish 25s are better.

@@OfficialMarkZuckerberg OK that's actually a really good argument and I'll have to agree here. Sometimes historically acurrate isn't always the best.

Yeah shit sucks I was hoping they would at least make them deep dish just for the looks

@@pacback1143 I'm torn because I want a matching deep dish set like the Kabuki everyone is complaining about shipping and it would litterally go coast to coast plus the rogue is just better being a milled finish but they don't have the deep 25s.

Wrong. Chrome Ivanko's are cooler.

Mini-split or propane top heater.

Don't forget insulation as well. I insulated the walls and ceiling and put osb on the walls. I have a cheap craftsman forced air propane heater that works well. I live about 15 minute from Lake Erie so it gets cold from time to time.

@@bmstylee lol.. cold from time to time. How do you ventilate it?

@@williammelms5139 I have a ridge vent. It's only a 1 car detached garage. I run it long enough to warm it up. And that's it. I have a CO detector in case. But it's not sealed tight enough to hold fumes in.

@@bmstylee Good to know. Mine is a 1 car too. They've dry walled the whole thing at some point so hopefully it'll hold some heat. Thanks.

They aren’t coming to the EU store.

4 years later... waiting atm for the Rogue deep dish to be available with Rogue EU.

@@GarageGymReviews :tfw coop replies to you. 😎 I already have a bunch of their comp plates and was just hoping ;( Been waiting for a while for a Rogue SS power bar and a s4 stand to come back in stock. Thanks for all the content Coop.

And I'm waiting for ATX and Strength Shop to make their chrome plates available to the U.S...
