Title: Look at the f*cking mess I have to deal with
Post by: Skeeter on May 22, 2017, 10:34:40 AM: A friend of mine (thanks asshole >:() gave me a set of GPI 45 lbs coated plates. They have a defect that causes the rubber coating to 'melt' and that shit sticks to everything. It's all over my other plates, the floor, and the bar. >:(
Because I don't have a receipt and the warranty isn't valid they won't replace them. >:(

Apparently it's a factory defect, at least according to the discussion I posted from bodybuilding.com.
I have 2 of the same plate and the other one is good.
