A look at the types of weight plates you can buy for your home gym and which is the best in my opinion and why. We'll cover iron plates (cheap and not), machined plates, urethane plates, and rubber bumpers. After decades of working out I've lifted almost everything.

There are a lot of options for Olympic plates out there and I've owned, broken, and sold more than my fair share. I hope this helps you guys make an educated decision while creating your garage gym.
