CAP Barbell Unisex-Adult Olympic Grip Plate Set - 2" Weight Plates for Strength Training, Powerlifting & CrossFit - Perfect for Home Gym & Commercial Fitness Centers

I ordered 6 of these so far (2x25, 2x10, 2x2.5) and my bodyweight scale measured each 25# one as 25.0 lbs on the nose. It's not a hyper-accurate scale, but it's relatively accurate to within +- 0.2 lbs. I plan to order 45s, 35s, and 5s to complete my set.Pros:• I love the grips and the hammered metal finish (certain paints are capable of producing that hammered look when dry).• Absolutely cannot beat the price for the 45s, 25s, 10s, and 2.5s. The 35s and the 5s break the pattern of ridiculously cheap, but they're still not too bad for what you get.• Each weight (25 lb) shipped separately in its own box to minimize potential damage from shipping, something I appreciate.Cons:• As others have said, the inner 2" diameter cutout was roughly finished, but this was only true of the larger 25# weights I ordered, NOT the smaller ones. Both of my two 25# weights came with some sharp burred edges, but a quick touch with my Dremel, and everything was sorted out. Alternatively, one could touch up the sharp/rough patches with a metal file. Either way, this was not a big deal for me, and I placed my order fully expecting to encounter this.• Of the three sets I ordered, the 2.5# weights took much longer to ship (roughly 3 weeks), but arrived promptly after shipping (within 2 days). No big deal for me, but just beware you may have to wait for your full set.Aside note:• I'm amused by people who see the Prop 65 warning for the first time in their lives thinking these barbell weights are going to give them cancer. You can tell these people are either not from California, or they do not buy many products aimed at California markets. To clarify: California requires, by law, a warning label on all products sold in the state when those products contain one or more statutorily defined chemicals "known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm." This can include lead or lead-based paint. Yes, lead is a known carcinogen, and lead paint is toxic. It is also very common. The truth is, many of these one-star reviewers have likely encountered this substance in their own states WITHOUT such a warning.For instance, bullets and air rifle pellets are overwhelmingly manufactured with lead as the main component. Lead is used in older formulations of pewter. Lead is commonly included in industrial paints. In fact, in older communities, lead was a material commonly used in potable water pipes to carry drinking water from city supplies into homes. While I am only guessing, I'd say the warning probably applies to the paint, which is likely lead-based.So, what can you do to minimize adverse health effects from handling these barbells? The single biggest thing you can do to stay safe is not to eat the paint. Yes, I'm serious. Don't be tempted to lick it, however tasty it may appear, and don't let your children lick the barbells either. The other thing is to simply wash your hands like a civilized person after handling the weights. You should be in this habit anyway. Do these things, and if you still get cancer, I promise it was probably from something else.Lol. Sometimes, you people really amuse me. Carcinogenic barbell weights. What will you internets think of next?By the way, ethanol (the kind of grain alcohol in drinks like beer, wine, and other distilled spirits) is a known carcinogen. You'd be surprised what common products in every day life are carcinogenic. Common medications like benzodiazipines, barbiturates, albuterol, and atorvastatin are carcinogenic; also carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, carbon tetrachloride and many other aromatic hydrocarbons... to date, the list has accumulated more than 800 substances. Too much sunlight is carcinogenic. Not enough sunlight is carcinogenic. These barbells are the least of your concerns.Good luck, be smart, and stay safe.
