 We all live as we chose. Member 5051, 866 posts SQ 157.5, BP 95, DL 220472.5 kgs @ 61.1kgs UnEq | I am looking to buy calibrated steel thin plates. Which to go for?: Rogue, Ivanko or Eleiko They all have 450mm diameter and the weight will be exactly accurate for all as they are sold as calibrated. Will picking a brand be down to simply preference or are their differences I have missed? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Axi0toY-gMg | ||

My asshole is not watertight. Member 2926, 6050 posts SQ 217.5, BP 107.5, DL 225550.0 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq | Do Rogue make calibrated plates? Are we talking about Rogue that make appear heavily in the Crossfit community? If so then I'd say there bars are a millions miles away from the quality of an Eleiko so I'd rule them straight out personally. | ||

They are very trick and a lot less than ivanko / elieko.... | ||

Lost his pen, then found his pen. #phew Member 4899, 2956 posts | Assuming they're properly calibrated I'd just go for whatever was cheapest, plates are pretty much plates...if you think you are likely to sell them on somewhere down the line then the make will become a factor of course. If I had the money I'd go for Eleikos every time. | ||

Yes, they were advertised everywhere. Main sponsor. I would love to train on an elephant bar.

If so then I'd say there bars are a millions miles away from the quality of an Eleiko so I'd rule them straight out personally. New Rogue bars are excellent and not far of an Eleiko, and 1/3 the cost (Rogue Ohio- IPF approved). I use them at my gym, and they were used at recent Arnold comp. Are Eleiko a bit better. Sure but the Rogue Ohio is probably the best value powerlifting bar atm. I'd certainly take it over an Ivanko bar regardless of price | ||

no really Irish Member 1196, 5908 posts SQ 312, BP 230, DL 320862.0 kgs @ 114kgs UnEq | Yeah whatever us calibrated and cheapest for the win. Used the Elikeo and Rouge in the same session and to be honest can't tell the difference very, very good bars. | ||
