Title: If you need them you need them.
Review: I bought the 10lb plates for deadlifts. These plates are for an olympic bar but I was able to make them work on a standard bar with screw on collard without any problem. This dropped the weight down to just 40lbs which was just right for my daughter.These plates work great for what they are. My son's deadlifts look A LOT better with these plates instead of the smaller plated he was using. I am not sure how much banging around they could take but if you are using these plates you should not be hitting the floor very hard anyway but be concentrating on technique.Bottom line if you are going to do deadlifts, and I think everyone should, and you can not do 135lbs (olympic bar) or 120lbs (standard bar) you need these plates. I am glad I spent the money on them after seeing the difference with my sons deadlifts.The reason I did not give them 5 stars is because I can't help but to think that for a rubber plate they should cost a little less.
