Yes4All Standard 1” Cast Iron Weight Plate ReviewThe Yes4All Standard 1” Cast Iron Weight Plate is a solid, budget-friendly option for anyone using a standard (1-inch) barbell or dumbbell handles. Here’s a breakdown of its pros and cons:Pros:✅ Durable Construction: Made from solid cast iron, these plates feel sturdy and well-made. They can withstand regular use without chipping or cracking easily.✅ Classic Design: The black paint finish gives it a sleek, traditional look while also providing some resistance to rust.✅ Accurate Weight: The plates are generally well-calibrated, with only slight variations in actual weight (usually within a reasonable margin).✅ Versatile Weight Options: Available in multiple sizes (5LB to 25LB), making them suitable for progressive overload in strength training.✅ Good Grip & Handling: The slightly textured surface makes them easier to handle compared to fully smooth plates.Cons:❌ Paint May Chip Over Time: The black coating can wear off with repeated use, especially if the plates are frequently dropped or stored in a rough environment.❌ Slightly Smaller Diameter: Compared to some other standard plates, these are slightly more compact, which may affect bar balance at higher weights.❌ No Rubber Coating: If you’re looking for plates with noise reduction or floor protection, these might not be the best choice since they are pure cast iron.Final Verdict:For the price, the Yes4All Standard 1” Cast Iron Weight Plates offer great value. They’re durable, well-made, and perfect for anyone training with a 1-inch bar. If you don’t mind minor chipping over time and lack of rubber coating, they’re an excellent investment for home or garage gyms. Rating: 4.5/5

Hey all, so I was debating on whether or not I should get loadable dumbells or adjustable dumbells. Well I chose to get loadable dumbells for a number of reasons. You can't beat loadable dumbells when it comes to price and quality. When you buy adjustable dumbells, you're likely buying a product that contains a bunch of plastic, but when steel dumbell handles and plates, there is no plastic to break. Also, loadable dumbells allow you to add more weights and get more bang for your buck. These Yes4all plates are the cheapest I could find and appear to be excellent quality. If you're wondering what my set up consists of, read below.Firstly, I purchased the 7.5 pound plates instead of the 10 pound plates. Why you ask? Well, the 7.5 pound plates are shorter (same thickness), so this was great as I wanted my loadable dumbell set to be as close as possible in size to standard dumbells at the gym. With the 7.5 and 5 pound plates, the size is simply great and not big at all. For my loadable dumbell handles, I actually purchased those from a company called New York Barbell; I purchased the 16" dumbell handles, which are excellent and high quality. I purchased a solid dumbell stand/plate holder from Titan fitness, which I highly recommend. Overall, I probably paid about $450 for everything (Twenty 7.5 pound plates, eight 5 pound plates, dumbell handles, and the stand). I also purchased four 2.5 pound plates from Cap (which were cheap and four 1.25 pound plates. Remember, you're dealing with a standard 1" diameter on these plates, so just be mindful that you get the right size.I know Yes4All sells a complete dumbell set, which is also a great option that includes the handles and plates. The only reason I didn't go that route was because I wanted smaller plates to make my lifting experience as comfortable as possible, and the 7.5 pound plates really are great for that. I also wanted to get a high quality pair of dumbell handles (not saying that the Yes4all brand aren't great, I have no experience with those, I just did my research and chose the other brand, but I'm sure they make great handles too as their plates are awesome).One more piece of advice. If you do go the loadable dumbell route, just know that it can be a pain to change the weights (which is the only disadvantage I can see vs adjustable dumbells). One remedy to that is buying another pair of dumbell handles that you can use for the lighter weight lifts.
