We wanted Made in USA Olympic Barbell Plates that would last a lifetime. Our plates are cast of gray iron in Waupaca, Wisconsin – by one of the largest foundries in the United States with decades of experience in American Iron.
Our design process ensured function for the everyday lifter. The deep lip on the edge of the plates allow for great handling and our largest plate width of only 1.25” leave plenty of room on the bar for more weight. The inner diameter of 1.99” ensure a snug fit on the barbell sleeve – the tightest on the market.
After casting, every plate is machined along the outer rim and inner diameter, and a chamfer is added to the corners to ensure easy handling. This machining process not only makes for a uniform finish, but also ensures accuracy. All of our plates are accurate to within 2% of design weight.
Following machining our plates are e-coated with a black finish that prevents corrosion and adds durability for life-long use.
Our goal was to make American cast iron plates that would last a lifetime. Quality American Products. That’s The Strength Co.
We are continually in production of plates.
Our next batch will begin shipping on 8 December. We have rolling manufacturing in process that lands every 30-45 days.
Plate Diameters:
2.5 LB – 6.5″
5 LB – 8″
10 LB – 9.13″
25 LB – 11.75″
45 LB – 17.75″
United StatesI've been using the 45's and 25's for a few weeks. Just got my 10's 5's and 2.5's yesterday to complete the set. When I first looked at them online, they seemed equivalent to the cheap cast iron non-machined plates that you could theoretically get for a bit over $1/lb before Covid, but as Strength Co developed the product, it was apparent that they are really more equivalent to machined plates that you used to be able to buy from the other companies before COVID for $2-3/lb. This makes them a good value, especially considering that nobody else seems to be shipping plates. Glad they took the time to upgrade to the e-coat finish. I accidentally dropped two of my 45's from about 5 feet onto a concrete floor the first day, and they didn't even chip. Thanks to Grant and his crew for developing a great product! under difficult circumstances!
