Cap Barbell Olympic Weights OP (5, 10, 25, 35, 45 lbs)

Pros: Olympic quality; indestructible.
Cons: Uncomfortable to carry; hurts if I get my fingers caught.

I am reviewing Cap Barbell Olympic Weights OP (5, 10, 25, 35, 45 lbs) What is an Olympic Weight? An Olympic weight is really no different than any other of its type except that they claim to be more accurate. In other words 5 pounds in an ...

Pros: price, solid, fit an olympic bar perfectly, black finish, clearly labeled
Cons: rough finish, can be hard to hold

Good:
plates are sturdy
plates are solid
plates fit a 2" olympic bar perfectly
cap barbell is a solid company

Bad:
plates are a little rough (who cares)
plates don't have a wide lip and can be hard to hold (again, not a big deal)

Worth much more than I paid for these. Highly recommended. I can't see how people buy sand filled weights or other alternatives. Look hard and you can find (on ebay for example) companies that sell these for a really affordable price. Picked up at the NJ warehouse and company seemed friendly, good customer service as well.
