@thehomegymcoop: These might be the most unnecessarily complex weight plates ever made. 🤯 The CPLATE is trying to fix two problems: 🔒 Collars. The lock is built into the plate. Press the handle and it grips the bar. Weirdly satisfying. 🏋️ Loading. Set the plate on the bar vertically, no sliding it down the sleeve and no deadlift jack. The catch: about $4,000 for three pairs of 45s (over $14 a pound), they’re only built for floor-based lifts, and anything mechanical has more failure points than a normal plate. And I still want them. Am I crazy?
as a lifter in a wheelchair... these would solve MANY of my issues...

That lock will be broken by the time those plates slam down the first few hundred times

Tbh I like the concept. Putting weight on the bar is the most uncomfortable and scary shit for me ever since my lower disc injury. That kneeling and twisting at awkward angles to load the bar up has me paranoid every time now that I'm gonna tweak my back again and cause more disc bulge. You say this is unnecessary but I want to show you that there is a demographic of people out there who do need accommodations of something like this to make their workouts more pleasant and more risk free.

If you don’t understand why a product is the way it is, it’s probably not made for you.

Considering people ego lift and slam weights down those locking mechanisms would fail upon constant impact

there are pros and cons to these plates , its easier to load plates onto the bar , on the flip side , less durable as there are more moving parts.

Yeeeeah, I don't use collars, so I'll stick with regular plates that will survive decades in the gym.

Those are gonna break SO FAST and so often. No way would I ever get or use these.

tf you mean 14$ a pound? isn't that like 630 bucks for one 45 pound plate?😭✌️🥀

Dan Jones736 :
so I am not a lifter so I am confused. it sounds like it helps keep the plate on the bar with a clip, but I thought most people don't want a clip so they can easily get the weights off. sorry if I sound dumb
