Though, Ader Sporting goods is one of the renowned manufactures, so having trust with any of these plates is admirable.

The weight plates comes in variety of sets of different weight plates, starting from the lowest of 1.25lbs and going all the way to 100lbs is in my opinion a massive weight range. Making the weight set by Ader preferable for beginners to professional weight lifter both. The lowest increment of 1.25lbs is very hard to found on other Olympic weight set of different company. Ader’s Color Solid Rubber plates are one of the best yet the most expensive Olympic plates to workout with. The reason is due to the fact that Rubber plates are comparatively expensive than Cast Iron plates, because they have a low bounce, low noise impact and best for crossfit. So working with them, increases your safety and keeps you out from severe injuries like falling of plates on feet.

There is a thing to note down before purchasing this weight set, is that when the plates arrive at your door step they are fresh and will be coming straight from the factory, so there is a chance of strong odor of paint or rubber which will last only for couple of days. However, if there is still some kind of smell present even after a day or two then it is suggested to wash them up with vinegar and water then subsequently drying them under the sun. This method will surely solve the issue of smell.

Final Verdict and Review

In my opinion, the Olympic plates by Ader Sporting goods, are quite nice cast iron plates. It was the first time I went to buy Olympic plates and I can say that their quality is much better than the ones that are placed in Sports authority. The thing which really attracted me on buying them, was the size options of plates along with its huge variety of weight range. I purchased the 1.25lb micro plates, and for two years I’m working out with them. The one that came in my shipment was a bit different regarding color, as it had spotty gray coating and Weight Sets Reviews 2018 were molded in silver lettering. I haven’t experienced any cracks, flaking or chipping from these plates in last two years, so overall it was a good and cheap investment I made, and is recommended for you too, to give Olympic plates by Ader Sporting goods a try.
