Look at the f*cking mess I have to deal with
« 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.  >:(

Not that hot. It's in the basement. Pretty much room temperature.

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.
