Morgan Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Anyone tried these for pinch and hub training? http://www.sportsunlimitedinc.com/york-deep-dish-olympic-plate-45-lb.html#_ga=1.82840214.1606584984.1479974661 How are these compared to vintage york deep dish plates? $160 including shipping for a pair of these is it a good price?

Adam Juncker Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 (edited) I have not used the new Yorks and have wondered about them, pictures are hard to tell. I just purchased the Power systems brand plate. It has a 1.125 deep hub that slopes slightly at the base. The company is offering some deals on shipping right now too. http://m.power-systems.com/m/p-2427-pro-olympic-plates.aspx Edited November 24, 2016 by Adam Juncker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Juncker Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 It has a good texture but I would try it without chalk for a while, chalk may make it a little more slippery. Here is my hand for a little perspective. And it has this sweet rim for rim lifting- If you're into that kind of thing... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on your pictures, I think power system plates has deeper hub than new york deep dish plates. By the way, how thick is power system plate? Is it 2 inches?

Thanks for adding those pics, I've really been wondering about the new York plates. I've asked the vendors about them and of course they have no idea what I'm asking about.
