Rogue Deep Dish Plates
Rogue’S Exclusive Deep Dish Plates Are Directly Adapted From The Vintage-Style Machined Plates We’Ve Used For The Elephant Bar Deadlift Event At The Arnold Strongman Classic. Sold In Pairs And Available In Four Weight Increments—25Lb, 35Lb, 45Lb, 100Lb (Along With 5Lb And 10Lb Change Plates)—This Line Is 100% Made In The Usa, Bringing Reliable Cast Plate Production Back Home For The First Time In Years.
The Extra-Wide “Deep Dish” Design Of These Plates Instantly Harks Back To The Classic Cast Iron Plates Of The Past, Which Were Used For All Olympic Lifts Before The First Bumpers Were Invented In The 1960S. Historically, Deep Dish Plates Were Favored More For Functionality Than Aesthetic, As Their Increased Surface Area Minimized The Damage To Old-School Wooden Platforms And Rubber Mats When Dropped—But Over Time, They Grew To Be Equally Prized For Their Vintage Appearance. With Rogue’S Deep Dish Plates, We Have Recaptured The Iconic Look And Feel Of That Era While Also Utilizing The Latest In Modern Casting, Machining, And Finishing Methods, Producing Plates That Are Much More Resilient Than The Ones That Inspired Them.
We Developed This Series With Cadillac Casting, Inc., A Michigan-Based Foundry Backed By Nearly 100 Years Of History In Metal Casting And An Unmatched Reputation For Quality. As With Our E-Coat Kettlebells (Which They Also Produce), Cadillac Casts The Deep Dish Plates From Ductile Iron, Which Has A Higher Tensile Strength And Yield Strength Than Standard Gray Iron, Along With Superior Corrosion Resistance. Precision Machining On The Entire Back, Center Hub, And Outer Rim Of Each Plate Ensures A Uniform Diameter And Secure Fit On The Bar, And The Electrically Applied E-Coat Finish Goes On Thinner Than A Traditional Powder Coat, Allowing For A Lustrous Finish Without Losing The Underlying Texture Of The Casting. E-Coat Is Also Known For Its Excellent Adhesion, Even Coverage, And Overall Toughness.
Rogue Usa Olympic Change Plates: Along With The Four Deep Dish Plates, We Also Now Offer A New Line Of Exclusive Cast Iron Change Plates, Currently Available At 10Lb (Produced By Cadillac From Ductile Iron) And 5Lb (Produced By Ohio’S Osco Industries From Class 30 Grey Iron). Our Usa Olympic Change Plates Feature The Same E-Coat Finish, Machined Center Hub, And Machined Outer Rim As The Deep Dishes, With Additional Machining On The Front Face Of The Outer Rim.
