Who has them? Turns out most of our home plates are off by up to a pound which actually does make a difference in some lifts. So when training for a powerlifting even you either need to weigh your plates and adjust (obviously this is the practical cheap way to go) or get fancy an order calibrated plates. Does anyone have them did anyone go all out and get them in Kilo like a real powerlfiting event? Rogue has them in Kilo and pound but most events are kilo. Ghost also has some cheaper but aquired by rogue and not all available now. I saw some Titan fitness ones a little cheaper than rogue. Ivanko is actually more expensive. But the calibrated are thinner and color painted and supposedly more accurate would be cool to get a set. I wish they marked pounds and kilos on the same plate but I guess that would be too simple.

“Who has them? Turns out most of our home plates are off by up to a pound which actually does make a difference in some lifts.”
This would explain all the arguing about your squatting.
-
Events do use plates that are weighed and inspected.
Seems like a silly question coming from someone who has spent their entire life as an athlete, hanky.

I know that what I am asking is if any get biggers shelled out the extra bucks for calibrated to train at home and if so if they went with pounds or Kilos and what brand

Nope.

You fucking idiot.....why would you need them for the pussy poundages you use? :D
WEAKLING!

Buy the Rogue. They are becoming the standard at most of the small meets and a few of the larger ones. You could also go Eleiko, which is still the most premium line, they are on a good sale -

Calibrated plates are guaranteed within 10 grams of stated weight. Calibrated bumpers are the same.
Machined iron plates and good training bumpers are +/- 2% usually.
Regular cast plates can be off =/- 5lbs maybe at most on plates up to about #45, #55. Smaller plates are more accurate, larger plates less.

yeah every powerlifting meet I was in used calibrated weights and by rule if a world record was set they had to weigh the weight that was lifted to get it certified.My weights at home were I remember guaranteed to weigh at least what was marked on the plate. I weighed one of my 100 lb plates just using a scale at work and it was a few ounces over 100lbs.

1)Accuracy
2)Fitting more plates on an ez curl bar it is an issue
3)To recreate meet settings at home as much as possible
4)Incremental adjustment plates

5)Getting used to Kilos I think I will go with Kilos

I don't and wouldn't.
It's not that serious.
I've never even seen them except at the trendy CrossFit gyms.

Yup!
At the Olympic weightlifting gym i trained at years ago we had a perfectly balanced set of weights we kept in the back for competitions.
Generally the weights we trained with were just standard plates, but none of them were off by more than a couple ounces. We did have a 45 pound plate that was 46.5 pounds, which was quite a bit off. They put a mark on it and used it for the leg press sled.
-
Unless you are going for a recorded lift - or preparing for one - there really is no need for them. 99% of people who pick up weights won't ever need it.
-
OH NO.
-
OH NO.
I remember years ago we weighed most of the 45 pounders at a LA Fitness. The gym and weights were brand new.
They were all within a pound of 45.
Then we realized the three different scales at the gym were also off by around a pound.
It threw everyone for a loop and a few guys complained to the manager about it. :D
I didn't care, because it's not that serious.
Everything is built with limited tolerances.

Do you plan on strict curling more than 225 pounds? That’s 2 45 pound plates per side, even if you used bumper plates how much more room would you need? Thin plates for a curling bar is a waste. Also it’s not like you’re benching or squatting heavy.
I noticed you posted a picture curling in jeans, shouldn’t you be lifting in a singlet in order to recreate meet settings?
Incremental adjustments would not require calibrated plates, regular plates would work fine in this case.
This was a good question for a novice home gymer.
Hope this helps.

Get the Kilo plates, they "feel" lighter than pounds
-
Cmon is it that serious the plates have to be perfectly calibrated? Bhanky flexing how he's going to shell out a bunch of loot for these dumb plates. We're all going to be hearing about strict curl nonstop until he burns out on his latest obsession
-
All of my old York milled plates are either spot on, or off by < .5 lbs. They would mill the backs to shave them to weight.
All of my Ivanko 45's (eight of them) are on the money.
I had an Eleiko set for a long time but I sold it off, it just took up room. But yes, the junk plates at Dicks Sports (and lots of others) are off by 2, 3 even saw some off by 4 lbs.
(Chinese Weider plates, etc).

Its just another failure to add to his long list
He stumbled across the strict curl by accident , found out he could curl 150lbs, realised he didnt know anyone else who could beat that so now its his "thing"
He will soon meet people at the shows who will be way better than him then rather than trying to improve he will take the easy way out and quit, just like hes done with everything else hes tried.

I have the Rogue calibrated plates. They are “calibrated” by two holes drilled in the back, which are filled in with plugs to get within the weight margin and the holes are taped over.
Just managing expectations here for anyone who buys these thinking they are machined with some super-accurate technique. It’s a regular plate plus plugs, you’re paying for the time/effort that goes into that part.

How many ounce discrepancy is there?
This is a funny thread because I was going to buy calibrated plates from Rogue during Matte Vember or whatever they call it.
are they worth the money ?

They are advertised as being accurate to within 10 grams of the claimed weight (~0.025 lbs). For the 45-lb plates I got the “HG 2.0 Bumper Plates” because I wanted to be able to do deadlifts off a hard floor, those have an advertised accuracy of 1% of the claimed weight.
I thought it was worth it if you consider that the usual tolerance on cheaper cast-iron plates can potentially be a big imbalance on a barbell if you get unlucky, and the price difference wasn’t that much. For example 345 lbs of Rogue plates is $690 for the regular cast-iron plates and $1100 for the calibrated steel plates.
-
My brother for example has two cast-iron plates (I think they were from Rogue), one is 47 lbs and the other is 44 lbs. Suppose you have two sets like that, you put 225 on the bar and one side is six pounds heavier than the other!
Or suppose you think you’re doing 225, one day it might be 221 and the next it’s 233 (:o)
I’ll pay a few hundred bucks extra for something that should last a lifetime to eliminate that.

Just like arm wrestling.
Realized he had no chance to win anything and now it's "curling".
Next it will be one legged seated calf raises, for reps.
-
If you trust your scale, calibrate it all, i.e., bar, collars, plates. Label them. The scale can be calibrated by light calibrated weights. You'll hit 170lbs in 2023. Already so close.

Nah, the houseguest got him a $50 gift certificate for Christmas, so he is pretending he is a big shooter now.
-
I’ve been both in the fitness industry of sales and now more in the calibrated industry for the last 15 years.
Everything has a +/- of accuracy and uncertainty. Always have and always will when you understand metrology.
Just do what most do and mark your plates + or - the value.
Unless you stack all the negative on one side and the positive on the other side of a huge max weight (powerlifting), it won’t make a big difference.

Have you seen the ends of most curling bars? They are not long like a bench bar. I put a 45 and I can not put 3 more plates after I can't put 2 10's and a 2.5 and the clips or a 10 a 5 and a 2.5 . I have to go to directly to two 10s or the 25s. I am ordering incremental plates so I can make smaller adjustments but they are not going to fit I need thinner plates.
