I was possibly looking to train somewhere else for a change in the coming weeks, does anybody know of any gyms in the UK that have the Ivanko USA, slim red 25kg disks available?

Is that the single most important criterion for selecting a gym?

I personally prefer the stiffest possible.

Depends also where on the surface of the Earth you are as gravity varies. A 20kg plate calibrated at the equator would exert around 5% more force at the poles, meaning it would effectively be 21Kg, not much but when you are talking about a 300Kg deadlift it is.

Ivanko plates are not as cool as Eleiko. For example how much did Benni actually lift and those are Ivanko?

Eleiko on the other hand seem to be everywhere (Olympics, Weightlifting, Powerlifting)
