Calibrated Powerlifting Plates - LB

Calibrated Powerlifting Plates - LB

Wickedly precise and colour-coded, the Calibrated Powerlifting Plates are the perfect training plates for powerlifting. These babies don't just look amazing, they also closely align with IPF specs and outperform machined iron plates. While they're not IPF-approved, they do check the key boxes: standardized diameters, correct colour-coding, and guaranteed to be within +/-10 grams of the claimed weight. If you've ever pulled your 1 rep max with iron plates AND with calibrated plates, you know that the two aren't the same. Calibrated plates are thinner and don't extend so far on the sleeves of the bar, so there's less flex in it - making your lifts different and/or noticeably harder. Which is maybe important to know BEFORE you try to hit a personal record on your final pull, ya know? The thing is, they're made in pounds instead of kilograms because, well, #freedomunits. But don't let that rain on your parade, they still make excellent training plates for powerlifting.

I have some pairs of reds, a pair of blue, and yellow so far. The reds have all had some QC issues, but Bells knocked about 10% off of those for me. The others have all been really nice. That said, they're priced really well and they're just tools that will get banged up a fair bit from use.

I only have the blue 45’s and use them all the time for squats and presses. They feels great and look really cool!
