Budget Friendly Deep Dish - Hansu Power

I like that you can put these plates on a barbell and then do lifts with them. If it's too heavy you can just take them off. Or if it's too light you can put more on. Do this process frequently and you'll get stronger. Or weaker. Also, I like how well Brandon sounds while talking about these plates. He seems really nice and personable while he also speaks with confidence and authority. I feel like he's a good person. Good review.

With so many things out of stock I had to go with a couple BoS 45s that are now on the way. I had never heard of the Hansu but they look way more my style! Good specs.

[@BasementBrandon]

Yeah downside of buying anything, as soon as you do, something else comes out lol

[@vintageweightspgh]

I haven't gotten my hands on these. However, even in the thumbnail, you can see some casting flaws on the face of the plate - not a good sign. This was filmed a year ago before Bells of Steel released their deep dish. How do you feel about these Hansu DD vs. BoS DD?

[@BasementBrandon]

Casting on these is actually pretty good, especially considering their cost. These are like $150 a pair delivered ($137 BF deal too). Hard to beat for the cost.

[@Ragnvaldr89]

These are pretty nice for the value. Still think I would stick with upgrading to the Hansu calibrated plates or grabbing The Strength Co. milled plates.

[@BasementBrandon]

Yeah I don't think i'd replace what I had with them, but for someone looking for some nice deep dish plates, these might be worth it!

[@BrownBarbellClub]

Solid review man. Way better than grey B.O.S plates. I was going to say why plates are *facing outwards* but you covered that too. lol

[@BasementBrandon]

Surprisingly some people do this as "normal"

[@BrownBarbellClub]

@@BasementBrandon they can’t be trusted 😂

[@ExpeditionaryRanger]

I think the BoS advantage is that they offer machined plates at +/- 1% (less than half a pound off is better than almost a pound off!), and for the ones I have (5's and 2.5's acting as change plates), the center holes are tight. It's difficult just to one hand them onto the sleeves actually. If their larger plates are the same, should be good (like Strengthcos tight fit). Seems to be just colour that trips everyone up. That being said, in Canada at least, it's cheaper to go with Hansu's for the 45's and 25's with the free shipping, saving $250+. I could see myself with a set of 10 of these Hansu 45's, and bells for 25's and 10's, painted to the dark gray of the Hansus. Rogue's shipping cost here and Strengthcos, doesn't make a nice set of steel plates very feasible to obtain. Seems like BoS and Hansu are the best options for the common man in Canada.

[@matthewrose6193]

Thanks for the great review, I am needing plates and these are now at the top of my list as options I want.

[@BasementBrandon]

They're pretty nice!

[@davidbuche]

Good review. Your comment on what you get may not be what I get is spot on. We received 2610 lb of Rogue revolvers for our gym 3 weeks ago. The price increase was disappointing but the casting quality, powder coat finish, and calibration of the plates was near perfect, much better than the revolvers you reviewed.

[@BasementBrandon]

My six shooters were awesome!

[@Theheavys]

Definitely looks like there machined on the backs from that close up, do they all look like that or was it just a fluke on the one plate

[@BasementBrandon]

It may be the plate they used to make the cast was machined.

[@persistentconsistency]

Over here dyin at the G' Thang drop for the 35's! Gotta have em! I'm very upset with you, B. I've been trying to avoid getting steel plates, which I want badly, and had moved on. These are super, super tempting. Check a lot of boxes. Non-machined is the only thing that gives me pause. The free shipping and cost are awesome.

[@BasementBrandon]

Def a nice surprise for cast plates!

Honestly I'm damn glad I found your videos. We can't get Rogue, The Strengh Co, Rep etc easily here in Singapore because of the absurd shipping but we have some people bringing in things like Hansu and LXJ. Was a bit hesitant on them until I found your reviews. Seems like these are going to be a nice step up from the Chinese rebrands that we usually find here.

[@BasementBrandon]

[@diablolrm90]

@@BasementBrandon Would you recommend these for outdoor use, assuming that I'll cover them with a tarp to protect them from rain etc?

[@BasementBrandon]

@@diablolrm90 I still think these will weather in time due to humidity and being outside.

[@NoMirr0r]

I don’t like a lot of Ps in my life. Lmao I have a single pair of rogue deep dish and I love them. My others are their bone yard standard plates. I want to get some uniformity and I think the deep dish is dope. I’m also not that strong. Pulled 501 in competition so I’m not going to run out of room on the barbell, QUESTION but do you think the extra width has any meaningful negative considerations for training? I don’t want to train with plates twice as wide and then at a meet it throw me off.

[@BasementBrandon]

Prob more just a visual thing. Meaning if you look at 495lbs with deep dish plates it's going to take up most of the sleeves. If you look at the same weight in kilos on the platform it will take up half the space, so it might look less but will feel just as heavy if not heavier.

[@danielsmith6896]

Thanks for the video. I agree, these plates really are aesthetically pleasing. If I mixed some bumpers in with these do you think they would see accelerated damage or would they be fine?

That’s a great plate. Only detractor (as you mentioned) is the lack of change plates. I am a little picky and like for my sets to match. If they come out with matching change plates I am all in for another set I don’t need. Rogue deep dish is a complete miss for me as I am routinely deadlifting over 600lbs and that just doesn’t work well with those plates.

[@BasementBrandon]

Agreed, doesn't make sense at that weight!

Kind of. Back in the day they were made deeper for ease of handling, but mostly b/c it distributed the weight more over the floor and you had less chance of breaking them or the floor. Basically bumpers before there were bumpers.
