I personally prefer the stiffest possible. Member 158, 3110 posts SQ 170, BP 107.5, DL 222.5500.0 kgs @ 67.4kgs UnEq | 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. | ||

Member 4417, 163 posts SQ 200, BP 142.5, DL 262.5605.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq | Ivanko plates are not as cool as Eleiko. For example how much did Benni actually lift and those are Ivanko? http://ironmanmagazine.com/blogs/hardcorepowerlifting/wp-conte... Eleiko on the other hand seem to be everywhere (Olympics, Weightlifting, Powerlifting) http://www.titanstrengthandpower.com/images/eleiko_set_433_sma... http://images.sports.cn/Image/2010/09/19/1417275897.jpg | ||
