Rogue vs Ivanko Calibrated Competition Plates

[@RusselOrhii]

I always get an itch to get a whole set from Rogue but metal LB plates will always look better to me. Also I like keeping the calibrated plates for game/meet day. Makes stepping on the platform that much more special for me.

[@joelscb]

Russel Orhii hi

[@BasementBrandon]

Russel Orhii I hear you. For me it was always difficult training on gym plates and then going into a meet and see less plates covering less area (bc of the thickness) and having it feel way too heavy.

[@JAWsFitness]

plus metal lbs plates are cheap AF second hand... But you two also compete in powerlifting and I don't, so obviously a big difference lol

You need some KustomKit Gym equipment calibrated plates

[@moneytimesfifteen]

You could probably buy a lot of OCD medicine for the same cost as a new set of plates. Shades of paint and some slight rattling shouldn't be that big of a deal

[@BasementBrandon]

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$s it’s not, that’s why I said it’s nitpicking. The reason for the switch was cost/amount of weight.

[@Timmeh2Buck]

How can the reason be cost when the Ivankos are a sunk cost? Did you need more weight?

[@BasementBrandon]

As mentioned, I could sell the Ivankos, get more weight, cover the cost of the Rogues and still make a few hundred dollars back. Also long term if I do want to add more weight, the Rogue option is more cost effective.

Great breakdown on the specs. I’ll be buying the Rogue set later this year when I get my numbers up to a contender level in my weight class.

[@MeepMeep88]

Wow, Rogue's hole tolerance impressed me. I thought Ivanko was going to beat them in that asepect. Boyy was I wrong Lol do a collar review, I've only seen one legit video on youtube where they actually test the max weight collars can handle. And Ivanko beat all the competitors. They put like 2-a few 45lb plates and then stood them up vertically to see if the collars would slide or not. That was a few years ago, who knows, maybe someone made better ones by now. But I think Ivanko patented their design O.o

[@BasementBrandon]

Might be interesting to test out! I believe Ivanko used to be made in the US but now they outsource to China (I heard Rogue does as well), but maybe when they made the switch they weren't able to oversee quality control as much.

[@MeepMeep88]

I can't remember seeing stickers saying China, you mean Taiwan? Unless something changed, I haven't really been keeping up with weight equipment for a few years I admit.

[@brois841]

Candi Soda, what you're saying about Ivanko collars is true of all competition compression collars (Eleiko, Ivanko, Rogue, Vulcan, etc). There are several different designs, depending on your budget and preference. Eleiko would be the cheapest choice and IMO the best. The Ivanko is a few bucks more and has that classic Ivanko nameplate which just looks badass IMO.

[@MeepMeep88]

As cool as those compression collars are though, they take kind of a long time to put on/off. I wonder what is a quick yet tight collar that is out there.

[@brois841]

Just get Lock Jaw or knockoffs for $10, they're fine. If you want fancy/nice, get an OSO variant. The only thing you'd really want compression collars for is deadlifts and for that it's worth the time to put them on.

Eleiko is the most expensive of the 3.

[@Justin-fromtennis]

Sorry about the typo... I meant to say Vulcan plates. I guess I shouldn't write messages at 1am in the morning :(

[@BasementBrandon]

Justin they weren’t available at the time. There are several more options these days that are price competitive, like StrongArmSport

[@Justin-fromtennis]

Thanks. I might buy from StrongarmSport as I'm only a 3 hr drive away and I can save on shipping charges. Do you know of any other brands what are price competitive? Any info you provide would be greatly appreciated!

[@BasementBrandon]

Justin I’d highly suggest strongarmsport. They are made in the same factory as rogue. They have an ugly logo sticker on the front you can peel off, but if you’re able to save money and pick them up local, they’re the best option.

[@keysersoze5920]

I have the Rogue Calibrated plates in Lbs. I do not compete, and can tell you they fit snugly on the Rogue Ohio Power Bar, it takes a bit longer to load them because of the snug fit but does not jump around much on deadlifts. Also replaced my Ivanko collars with the OSO Titan collars and they hold extremely well, much better than the Ivanko's. Nice to see Rogue come out with theses plates and compete with Ivanko who's plates are extremely overpriced.

[@BasementBrandon]

Right on! I've noticed my Ivanko comp collars seem to get a lil loose (looser than I would expect), maybe need to really put them to the test.

[@Oldschoolgrizzly]

Could I use the Ohio power bar to bench and deadlift? Using only one bar would keep cost down. Would a specific deadlift bar and a specific bench bar be better than one Ohio power bar that I can use for both pulling and pushing? Keep on lifting💪🏽🐻🇺🇸

Yes, that's the best thing about Power Bars. Can be used for everything.

[@seanebrus2431]

Thanks for Your interesting video!! I got one question: Do the Rogue plates fit on an Ivanko bar? I own an OBX 20kg and wonder if those Rogue plates will fit? I assume You have an Ivanko bar!

[@BasementBrandon]

I do not own one, but I have used them on an Ivanko competition bar before, they do in fact fit.

[@quanyamoan]

Brandon... How are the Rogue calibrated plates holding up? They say the paint chips and fades. Was it a smart purchase?

[@BasementBrandon]

Mine are good, although any calibrated plate will chip over time. It's just paint on steel so it's bound to happen.

[@b3owu1f]

So did you sell the Ivankos for more than the cost of the Rogues and thus got some money for some other stuff.. or are the Rogue waits that much different of a feel than the Ivankos that warranted it? I assumed weight is weight.. as long as they slide on and off well enough, and dont wear out easily over time in a home gym, since you already have the Ivanko why switch out for a little more weight? New home gym dude here.. so I am slowly building up my setup. Totally went wrong on the power rack (got a non name brand set called Fitness Reality which is good, but height and attachment issues abound so now after having it for a week considering selling it for 1/2 price to buy a Rogue rack one day). I ordered a small 160lb rogue rubber bumper set to start off with as my mid-40s butt tries to get back in to lifting. I was thinking of adding more rubber plates, but not sure now if I should do rubber for use with squat/clean and bench, or look at the same rogue plates you got for bench and squat and use the rubber plates only for cleans and such. I guess to me weight is weight so really a bit confused as to which way to go with this. Your advice?

[@BasementBrandon]

So competition plates like these are a lot different than your regular steel plates. They're calibrated to be within 10g of the stated weight. Regular steel plates can have as much as a 5lbs swing heavier or lighter. They're also much thinner then your regular plates as well. Because of this, they're also more expensive. I'd put these as a luxury item as for many building a home gym, they don't make sense unless you're trying to go high end, or want to emulate a powerlifting meet conditions.

[@b3owu1f]

Thanks for the info. Just realized I actually bought 25 and 35 calibrated steel plate. I like the thinness and colors. Figured Ill add a few here and there and build up my weight collection. I dont compete at this point.. but who knows.. maybe in my 50s Ill be ready!!

Opinion on rogue vs strongarm sports calibrated plates? Ive heard they are made in the same factory.

So I've spoken to Rogue's lawyers about this (long story) and they assured me they are not. However I think you'll find they're extremely identical minus the branding. Bottom line, get the one that's more affordable.

Hey Brandon, Question; how accurate are calibrated plates? Ive ordered my first set, the 25s came in: one is over .4 and the other is under .2, is that ok or should i contact rogue about it? I only ask because i was told they are suppose to be 100 percent accurate.

[@BasementBrandon]

They should be within 10g of the stated weight. I'm assuming the 25 is in KG, so that would equal out to 54.97 to 55.02 lbs or so.

[@RedondoBeach2]

I'm interested in understanding why Ivanko weights are so much more expensive per pound. Are people paying for the name brand? Are they a status symbol? Do they have a better warranty? Are they more durable? Are they aesthetically more appealing? Are they made of a better quality steel? Are the accessories (bars, collars, belts, etc) made better? Is customers support better? What are all of the reasons for why people believe Ivanko's are worth more? And let's be objectively honest about the last question; Ivankos are worth more because the company is not lowering their price while maintaining enough sales to stay in business. Unless they're slowly losing market share, but is that the case? Please explain your answers. Be specific. Compare and contrast if appropriate. Interject any other relevant thoughts.

[@BasementBrandon]

Mostly selling off brand name at this point. They do have some higher end offerings (stainless steel bars, calibrated plates, etc), but these days quality has dipped and you can find equal if not better quality at lower pricing.
