I am giving the plates 4 stars. I am not dissatisfied with the weights but wanted to call out a couple of issues I have noticed after the first month. All the weights are functional, and I understood I was purchasing an economy bumper plate. I ordered 465lb of bumper plates: 8 slim x 45lb, 4 x 10lb, 2 x 25lb, 2 x 5lb, 2 x 2.5lb. The finish on all the plates is far from perfect. The bevel on the edges (especially the 10lb) is very inconsistent. The plates look distinctly different because of this. The color fleck in each plate is also pretty variable. Some of the plates have a very rough unfinished look at the edge; others have areas that did not get beveled at all. See the attached photos. The slim 45s are very nice but still have some less-than-perfect finish. The bevel width again is a little variable, but it's much less noticeable than on the 10s. There is some visible cupping/warping on the 10lb plates and 2.5lb change plates. The 2.5lb change plates have a very slightly narrower collar than the other plates. This is not an issue on the Rogue barbell, but it's a minor inconvenience on a mace that also has a standard-diameter handle. The 5lb change plate fits no problem, but the 2.5lb do not. I have other smaller-increment change plates from another brand that also fit without issue. That, to me, confirms it's the 2.5lb plate collar issue. I have a photo of this as well with the 2.5lb sitting on top of the handle with a 5lb properly seated. Overall, the weights work as intended. I can drop them on heavy lifts, and they hold up well. So far, the durability has been great. I am very satisfied with the value but wanted to call out the minor visual imperfections for others spending a lot of time shopping for weights as I did.
Squatting and deadlifting, great. Loading the linear hacksquat, even better. But!... You're going to notice that the cuts on them where they shaved off the excess from the mold are very ragged and uneven. You'll also notice that several bumpers from your order will sit crooked on the sleeve. They say it doesn't affect performance, but the physics of it would suggest otherwise, however mild. Sure, they aren't calibrated...but that shouldn't be the standard of whether or not a sleeve fits in straight. Otherwise I love them!
Love the weights! Would order from again. Will be back!
A little dirty when it got here but all the loose crumbs wipe off, really slightly quality plates for the price, will probably be the only 45 bumpers I buy from now on
Love them, and for the price you cant go wrong, bought 6 pairs (12) of the 45 thin plates for my home leg press, no issues at all,except the delivery guy hates me now. def. will buy more as i need them
These thin 45s are killer. Really can’t expect more for the size and price.
Got my first HOMEGROWN plates..hyperthin 45's and "factory seconds" 25's. I love them! 👌🏻👍🏻
Look at the difference in the regular 45s and the hyper-thins. Loved them!
The skinnier plates allow me to load more weight on my machines. With the OGs (the originals) I could take it to like 405 on deadlifts and like 135 on the machines. This is a significant improvement and I’m happy with my purchase. I may order more and just use the thicker plates I have for like cleans or more aggressive lifts that allow me to just drop the weight.
Bought 10 of the hyper thin 45s. I can fit all of them onto my barbell and probably another one on each side and my lifting collar, so they are very nice. Saves a lot of room. Also appreciate the quality, I see people on here mentioning they feel the mold doesn’t come out well, but I couldn’t be happier with the quality of the weights. For the price these are a steal, and everything shipped quickly. If you’re looking for a good deal on some quality rubber weights, you found it.
These things are indeed HYPER thin. In my pictures you'll see that the homegrown 45 lb plates are practically the same thickness as typical 25lb bumpers and a 45 lb and a 10lb bumper plate (also from homegrown) take up LESS space on the bar than a typical 45lb chunker. Beyond the thinness, these plates are well put together and overall present UNBEATABLE value
Great weight. Great price. Functions like utility. Do recommend.
Love the thin 45s, definitely an upgrade for my home gym!
So much nicer having the skinny 45lb plates allowing me to get more weight on everything!!! As usual my order shipped fast and arrived right on time
Love the new slim 45lb plates! A great addition to the Homegrown lineup.
These are my second set of slim 45lb plates from Homegrown Lifting. I started buying from Homegrown for the prices, I stayed for the excellent quality of their products. These slim guys are a game changer. They’re accurately weighted, well designed, and high-quality. I’m steadily growing my collection of plates that is now overwhelmingly Homegrown Lifting.
these are great,. I will absolutely be back
Love these hyper thin plates. Now able to load up hex bar with heavier weights.
These are great plates. Even including the shipping cost, they are the cheapest product available without sacrificing quality. I'll be buying more of these.
You can’t beat these for the money plus they are thinner than even a 25 pound bumper plate.
Great quality for the price.
They were heavy! 🤟🤟 did what they needed to do. 5/5 will be buying more.
Love these plates so far. Used them for all 3 main lifts plus rows without any issues. Leaves much more room on the bar to load weight compared to traditional bumpers. Will be back for more!
The plates are of great quality and are considerably smaller than the standard bump plates. I will definitely buy more in the future.
Can’t wait to hit more PR’s with these plates.
Excellent customer service. Great product for the price.
I really like these thinner 45Lb plates. The size and cuts seem to be consistent and they feel really nice when using them.
Awesome value and quality. I got two of the 45 plates to add to the collection and they came not only faster than expected, but look great. Will def purchase again soon.
! I can finally fit more weight on my bar and easier to store. Will be ordering more soon!
Love these plates! I don’t have a lot of storage space in my garage so these are perfect. I’ve never liked number plates because of the size. But I can easily load a bar with these! Will definitely be buying more to complete my home gym
Love these thin plates, the regular 45's are just too much!
Great value, quick shipping
Nice and solid!
Love the plates!
Great equipment that’s why I keep coming back for more!!!
Great plates, glad I went with the hyper thin. 3 plates take up the same space as 2 standard bumpers. If you want your deadlift to grow first thing is you need the space on the bar.
These plates are phenomenal. The problem with rubber/urethane plates is that the are so thick that getting more than two 45’s on a machine is impossible. These ultra thin solve that issue. And now I can deadlift without waking up the neighborhood from weights clanking around!
Love how thin they are compared to normal bumpers.
The perfect bumper plates for your home gym. The hyper thin 45lb plates are the best on the market!
