I'd love to take those Ivanko plates off your hands. Completely free. I wont charge a penny.

I always get an itch to get a whole set from Rogue but metal LB plates will always look better to me. Also I like keeping the calibrated plates for game/meet day. Makes stepping on the platform that much more special for me.

I have zero interest in building my own gym, but I still enjoy your videos lol

Great vid. I appreciate you keeping it to the point and concise

i insta click on any of your review videos. your reviews are my downright favorites. you the man BCD

I love your reviews and you are strong as hell

Great comparison man!! Glad you got your true love ;)

Always a top notch review Brandon

Great breakdown on the specs. I’ll be buying the Rogue set later this year when I get my numbers up to a contender level in my weight class. I’ll stick with rusted iron plates for now before I go all out with competition plates. I currently own ABC. Australian Barbell Company. I’m aiming for a set of Eleikos... one day 🤘🏼

But did your max go up 50kg with the matte paint switch? That’s the real question.

Thanks for the video! Glad you've finally worked out that you're Team Rogue instead of Team Edward.

Rogue plates are so sexy, great review Brandon!

Brandon, unrelated to this video, but do you bolt your rack to the floor? Im getting ready to purchase my first and wanted to hear what others have done. Thanks!

Goddam these gym build episodes are primo!!

Got the same black friday deal as you did. Very good discount and they look great!

Thanks for Your interesting video!! I got one question: Do the Rogue plates fit on an Ivanko bar? I own an OBX 20kg and wonder if those Rogue plates will fit? I assume You have an Ivanko bar!

Hey Brandon, Question; how accurate are calibrated plates? Ive ordered my first set, the 25s came in: one is over .4 and the other is under .2, is that ok or should i contact rogue about it? I only ask because i was told they are suppose to be 100 percent accurate.

So did you sell the Ivankos for more than the cost of the Rogues and thus got some money for some other stuff.. or are the Rogue waits that much different of a feel than the Ivankos that warranted it? I assumed weight is weight.. as long as they slide on and off well enough, and dont wear out easily over time in a home gym, since you already have the Ivanko why switch out for a little more weight? New home gym dude here.. so I am slowly building up my setup. Totally went wrong on the power rack (got a non name brand set called Fitness Reality which is good, but height and attachment issues abound so now after having it for a week considering selling it for 1/2 price to buy a Rogue rack one day). I ordered a small 160lb rogue rubber bumper set to start off with as my mid-40s butt tries to get back in to lifting. I was thinking of adding more rubber plates, but not sure now if I should do rubber for use with squat/clean and bench, or look at the same rogue plates you got for bench and squat and use the rubber plates only for cleans and such. I guess to me weight is weight so really a bit confused as to which way to go with this. Your advice?

Brandon... How are the Rogue calibrated plates holding up? They say the paint chips and fades. Was it a smart purchase?

Did you ever have an interest in buying the Eleiko ipf powerlifting competition set

I was just wondering what do you use to store the Rogue Calibrated plates, since it does not fit on the plate tree?

Did Eleiko have Black Friday sale on weight plates in the past? I am ready to buy either Eleiko powerlifting weight plates or Rogue Calibrated Plates. If Eleiko has no Black Friday sale on weight plates I might just buy Eleiko right now or wait for rouge sale.

How long did it take your plates to come in from ordering them during the MBF deals on rogue?

Another good vid :)

I'm waiting for the rogue plates to go on sale again and have been all week. When you say black Friday do you mean Friday or was it just during MBF sale? there's only been one set of plates that qualify for hundo pricing all week.

Approximately how much would it have costed if you had bought a similar total amount of weight but with Eleiko competition plates ? Thanks :)

You said Rogue uses stickers vs the screw in calibration for Ivanko? How long do you think those stickers will last?

Opinion on rogue vs strongarm sports calibrated plates? Ive heard they are made in the same factory.

I lift weights in my basement and bought all my plates at tag sales. I sanded them down and repainted them with rustoleum and they look great now!

Those ivanko look mighty fine! I’ll take one plate of your hand my good sir ! I’ll pick it up this week. JUST ONE

they look sweet. that deal is amazing. I prob would have done the same thing. I keep seeing j-cups with rollers in various videos. Any idea who makes them. Been looking everywhere. Cant find them.

I got some of these rouge plate and they are great but the holes are really tight on my Ohio powerbar. I hope it does not damage it as time goes on.

Hey Brandon, what would you choose between Rogue's completion bumpers or urethane bumpers?

Could I use the Ohio power bar to bench and deadlift? Using only one bar would keep cost down. Would a specific deadlift bar and a specific bench bar be better than one Ohio power bar that I can use for both pulling and pushing? Keep on lifting💪🏽🐻🇺🇸

Bruh ivanko does not play when you place an order. That sucks though I had no idea that happened. Any thoughts on why ivankos is that much more expensive?

Ayeeeee....twilight review in the works?

It's hard to think of two comparable products in any field which differ in price by such a huge amount.

Quality vids brah

Do we need a lot of this stuff to get stronger? Do we need rogue or ivanko to lift weights? Do we need expensive weights, Barbels and 50 squat rack to have a good workout? Here in africa we lift cement weights with plumber tubes and not even eat protein everyday...if I would have that money I prefer to spend them to live and not to lift...just my opinion

Good Choice, Brother. My choice is "Schnell" better quality than Eleiko, Rogue, Ivanko, Leoko, Titex etc... .

being the first is always.... good... ^^ well, enjoyed your video as always. hope you have a good day there Brandon. give my best regards to your Mrs. Campbell and the Jr. Campbell. ^^

Good review, thanx.

Outstanding💪🏽🐻🇺🇸

very nice plates brandon.

Wow, Rogue's hole tolerance impressed me. I thought Ivanko was going to beat them in that asepect. Boyy was I wrong Lol do a collar review, I've only seen one legit video on youtube where they actually test the max weight collars can handle. And Ivanko beat all the competitors. They put like 2-a few 45lb plates and then stood them up vertically to see if the collars would slide or not. That was a few years ago, who knows, maybe someone made better ones by now. But I think Ivanko patented their design O.o

Its still a weight. Lift whatever dafuk you wanna lift!

Hey Brandon, congrats... great deal! How's kilo math been working out for you? I did a meet a couple of months ago and their warmup area was all kilo's. Was so lost!! However, I just know if I switch to kilo's the next meets, warmup area will be all lbs.

Hey B Rad, do you ever miss your old equipment and what item do you wish you still had?

You mentioned the Rogue plates don't fit in the Titan weight tree, does that mean that in order to use the Rogue plates you need a Rogue barbell or would any cheap barbell work?

You could probably buy a lot of OCD medicine for the same cost as a new set of plates. Shades of paint and some slight rattling shouldn't be that big of a deal

very impressive.. like how did you hold up both plates at the same time in the thumbnail

Might go with those now/your like a Rogue salesman/i told them in email you were the deciding factor in me going with rogue/my rogue cart its jammed with 4000 and some change worth of gear/just waiting until matte black friday/horse stall matts are down/just deciding how im gona do my platform

For a new lifter who wants to build a garage gym what plates would you recommend for the price

I'm really hoping they'll be some black friday deals this year in weights... that's if there willl even be any weights in stock. Vulcan Strength is the only shop I even see 20kg's still in stock at least.

Did you consider Eleiko for the competition plates? They seem a lot cheaper than Rogue or Ivanko. That being said, if Rogue has a similar deal for the 459kg package this year for Black Friday, that's the best deal. lol

I have a bunch of standard plates at home with the one inch hole. Don't know if they're "calibrated" but i weighed all the heavier ones on the scale and they weighed in at exactly the weight written on them. I paid less than 200 bucks for 350 lbs. Of standard plates from play it again sports.

Damn looks like I have to wait another year for a discount, I just missed it

U have 50kg rogue calibrated plates in the US to. I live in the UK so I order from rogue eu and they said they don't know if 50kg plates will be available to so I have ivanko ocbs 50kgs on the way to lol

I have the Rogue Calibrated plates in Lbs. I do not compete, and can tell you they fit snugly on the Rogue Ohio Power Bar, it takes a bit longer to load them because of the snug fit but does not jump around much on deadlifts. Also replaced my Ivanko collars with the OSO Titan collars and they hold extremely well, much better than the Ivanko's. Nice to see Rogue come out with theses plates and compete with Ivanko who's plates are extremely overpriced.

What brand hat are you wearing? im diggin it

Where did you send the ivankos?

How does it feel going to a commercial gym when traveling for work after getting to use all of the best Powerlifting equipment on the market at home?!

The stickers dont fall off?

Cannot beat the Schnell competition power disc. They’re embossed on both sides. Beautiful discs. The new Eleiko competition power discs are nice, but not as finished as the Schnells since they’re only partially embossed on the rear lip.

ARe the Rogue plates metal?

i just took my super cheap weight to the scrap yard, weighed them, then added the grams by welding. if the slight shade of red bothers you, this isnt the soloution for you. me? id sooner pay £250 for a full set that has a metal tab welded on that pay £3000 for the same set.

Where can I get that hoodie ?

I don’t know why but I found this a lot more interesting than I should have ...

I personally like the Ivanko USA plates with the "made in China" sticker on the back.

Those deadlifts from 2:55 kill me. Mans gonna break his back.

But you always say buy right or buy twice

Professional Eleiko fanboy checking in...

Can an Ohio power bar be used to bench, curl, and deadlift? What in your opinion is the best 1000lb capacity trap bar? I plan on a Rogue home gym in the near future. Keep on lifting👏🏽💪🏽🐻🇺🇸

i've never looked at the color of my weights dfq bro

You haven't missed much by not seeing twilight. I sometimes have to suffer through it because my wife likes it. Let me put it like this - your calibrated rogue plates can act better than Kristin Stewart and Robert Pattinson. Thanks for the review. I'd go with rogue over anything. They have the best quality per price ration

Nice gets!!!

I got Jack Lalanne vintage Olympic set in my hg

Can your muscles tell the difference?

Eleiko no questions asked!!!!

Can you review the ghetto weights you see in most eastern European home build gyms. Now that is a review I wanna see

just a matter of time before Brandon switches to bumper plates and oly lifting

How to order ivanko plates ?

Hahah that blooper

I'll stick to the good ol castiron plates. after your workout, they double as a griddle for your post-workout meal. Just be sure to season them properly for the most nonstick capabilities LMAO

Pallini (French Maker full steel ipf certified) ....50kg: 45mm ....25Kg: 22,5mm ....20kg: 20mm .....15kg: 22,5mm

terracotta pie, hey!

When I first started lifting, I would use bricks as weights on my Bar

How do you afford this?

I'm interested in understanding why Ivanko weights are so much more expensive per pound. Are people paying for the name brand? Are they a status symbol? Do they have a better warranty? Are they more durable? Are they aesthetically more appealing? Are they made of a better quality steel? Are the accessories (bars, collars, belts, etc) made better? Is customers support better? What are all of the reasons for why people believe Ivanko's are worth more? And let's be objectively honest about the last question; Ivankos are worth more because the company is not lowering their price while maintaining enough sales to stay in business. Unless they're slowly losing market share, but is that the case? Please explain your answers. Be specific. Compare and contrast if appropriate. Interject any other relevant thoughts.

i dont live in the US mainland but fuck me with this sale bumps it to MSRP because of the shipping

Now this is a powerlifter

Actually u have three different red colour variationson the ivankos

I like ivanko’s color but I think rogue’s overall looking wins

So............do you stay big while watching twilight????

That hip thrusters joke was tooooo creepy 🤣🤣🤣

Can’t do 14 plates? I go 14 .25kgs all the time!

Rogue is for home gym. Why vs Ivanko?? 😳

Bumper plates are the move

IVANKO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jesus, can't believe they ate that shipping. I feel bad for your delivery guy.
