***READ BELOW DESCRIPTION OF DEFECTS TO ENSURE YOU ARE OK WITH EVERY ASPECT OF THESE PLATES. NO RETURNS OF FACTORY SECONDS.***
At HomeGrown Lifting, we have strict quality control measures for all of our products. As a result, we sometimes have products come off our assembly line that do not meet our quality standards. We label these “Factory Seconds”. For those who are less concerned with aesthetics and more concerned with getting a great deal, we have listed these plates for you.
These Factory Seconds are 100% functional and safe to use. These plates are all made by HomeGrown Lifting and were rejected during the manufacturing process due to aesthetic imperfections in the product. Aesthetic imperfections could include, but are not limited to: incomplete bonding of small rubber parts due to degassing (causing small bubbles on the surface of the plate), large blemishes, discolorations, or any other general aesthetic imperfection. The plates will weigh the stated amount but may have thickness variance from the standard stated size. Plates may also have colored fleck differing from plate to plate and may also not have the same wording/branding from plate to plate.
Lastly, stainless steel collars may be slightly split on the ends. This occurs around 0.5% due to the high pressures we use to ensure the collars stay in each plate. These plates are still 100% safe and functional. Collars may also be slightly disformed and slight force may be required to get the plate on the bar. We will warranty the collars from further splitting or removal from the plates for up to 1 YEAR. Our no return policy still applies to these plates.

Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 574 reviews.
I was looking for an affordable bumper plate while building out my home gym and found it with Homegrown Lifting! Great product at a great price, and shipping was easy and very fast. Highly recommend these to anyone looking for a great bumper plate and barbell clamp.
Small cosmetic issues. It does look like one of the 25s I got has a collar that is not totally straight, but honestly once there is a collar on the bar it is not really noticeable. I plan to use these outside and beat these up, so they will still be functional for me.
Ended up getting some blemished strength co plates. Other than some cosmetic issues, these are perfectly good plates. I plan to use these outside, so cosmetic stuff doesn't bother me.
These factory seconds are beautiful. We used our HSA after being told by doctors that we had to make life changes. I’m self conscious so I was looking for affordable at home gym options. These plates are so beautiful and we got factory seconds because they were more affordable. I was worried but no need to worry at all. This is a lovely, quality product with small blemishes. They make a gorgeous addition to our home gym.
5/5 - Factorty seconds that look pristine and look like they'll last. Can't ask for much more. I highly recommend buying plates this way so long as they're available.
Can’t be happier with purchase. Well worth it. Will be making future buys.
I love these plates! Great price
The one thing I didn’t cover in the video is specific to my set up but I have a 12inch loading pin and the sizing of the plates allow me to fit a good amount of weight on it
This is my second order of factory seconds, and this was the only defect. One small gouge on the face of the plate. Plates are perfect otherwise and the weight is accurate. I love the more compact size of the "hyper thin" plates. They are actually thinner than 25lb plates I ordered previously.
Plates are fine, I see nothing wrong with them being factory seconds. The only confusing part for me was these are Hi Temp plates. Does Hi Temp make homegrown plates? Or did they buy a lot of Hi Temps to sell second hand? I don’t know, but not disappointed- Hi Temps are fine plates.
Love love love. Everything is top of the line. From pricing to delivery speed and everything in between. I cannot wait to get to my workout every day because of these!!

Fast delivery. Great product. Will definitely buy more as the need arises
I can't believe these are factory seconds, they look and feel terrific.
Hard to see in photos but little wear on the sides. Little pieces of rubber fall off every time I lift. But I knew what I signed up for.
You can barely tell that these are factory seconds. Great value for the price. I'll definitely buy more.
Awesome plates. Can’t tell they are blemish at all. Bought a lot of them. Don’t hesitate if you’re on the fence.
Really love the homegrown weight set we bought. Great quality and value. The color flecks on the plates add a great personal pop
Great price and shipping!
Excellent quality for the value of these Factory 2nd Plates.
They're great plates for the money. I like them a lot. hopefully pick up 6 more and a deadlift jack later this month.
Look really good for being seconds
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYGULOwtQxd/?igsh=MWNmenRwd2d5cDVyMA== ^i have one standard set of plates and the rest are your “seconds”, I have not a single complaint about the seconds, these are bumpers, i don’t need them pretty. The defects I have discovered are minimal and do not interfere with function. I am a powerlifting who at one point held 18 records in kentucky across 2 federations, and now I am focusing my training towards AMMA. I have told all of my fitness friends about your company and the very reasonable deal you offer regarding these. I will continue to do business!
Couldn't be happier. Even as factory seconds, they are obviously quality made with a few aesthetic defects that are not obvious and in no way impede their normal function. They still stack tight on the bar with no wobble. I would recommend these weights for anyone looking for bumper plates. I wish I would have purchased a full set when I started my home gym as they are great quality, US owned, and reasonably priced. Plan to purchase more once I outgrow my current setup.
I got a pair of blemished 25 lb bumper plates; the small imperfections were barely noticeable. It was a great price for fully functional plates; I couldn’t be more satisfied.
I will definitely be buying more of the factory seconds bumper plates. I can handle a little cosmetic flaws for the great price they are listed at!
Purchase was real easy. Weights came in well packaged. Even being factory seconds, there's no structural damage, merely surface blemishes. Fully trust theses weights to take everything we can throw at them. This is my second purchase, and I fully expect there to be a third.
Great plates! nothing wrong with these had some different wording is all. Overall good product.
Great bumper plate. Gets the job done. These ones have a rubber bulge on the sides. It makes it harder to get as many plates on because it creates a little bit of a gap between plates.
Great plates for what I need them for! Little blemished but I knew that coming into the purchase. The ones I received the blemish is the edges are a little jagged.
These factory second ten pound bumper plates were a great addition to the 25 pounders I already have. These factory second plates are a great value- the biggest “defect” I’ve found on any are little rubber knobs left over from the injection molding. Weight is weight as far as I’m concerned. It’s worth mentioning as well that bumper plates are great if you’re working out in your house. Floors and carpeting are expensive, and regular iron plates are not very forgiving. Bumper plates are perfect!
The weights are great! I am so happy. Definitely the best price for dumbbell weights
Product shipped and arrived quickly!!! I only have the 45lb bumper plates in the video I did also buy 25’s and 10’s all bumper plates. I will be buying a barbell and more plates as well. Happy to have found a company that offers quality products and a fair price for the home gym crowd
Great experience with Homegrown delivery was great so far weights are great and great price.
Great bumpers. A few of the hub inserts don't work on my weight tree but its cheaper quality. All of the plates I ordered work perfectly fine with my bar despite the other issues. Overall for the price and quality with shipping I couldn't be happier. Also the new slim 45s aren't pictured but are my favorite and why I decided to pull the trigger.
Plates are excellent to be factory seconds. Great service!
These plates are great. I think I spotted the only “flaw” and that was just a couple leftover nubs on the sides of the plates from injection molding. I couldn’t care less about those cosmetic defects. The weights are awesome, and now my ten year old can do deadlifts with the bar at normal deadlift height, but with just 25 pounds on each side instead of 45. I’ll be buying some 45’s in the future. I’d recommend these weights to anyone.
