I Was at York Barbell last week. I was speaking to one of their product research guys. They are going to start coming out with new products next year to compete with Rogue ,Rep, and Titan. They are also going to bring back the old school round head dumbbells for a limited time. Very cool looking.

You should make a vintage and non vintage gear cross reference on your web site. Kinda like they do with vintage tools. Alot of my old tools I can look at the style and the makers mark stamp and narrow it down to 20 yrs and a factory where it was made.

In my mind, vintage plates should be mounted on the wall as inspiration and a tribute to the history of the sport - like an old baseball or hockey jersey.

Haha. I’m sure some people do that, and I have wall mounted storage posts. But I think weights are meant to be lifted. So everything in my gym goes on the bar.

5:32 Hang on to that 9.00 pounder, that's 1/5 of a 45! For the days you want to bench 2.2 plates. :) The 2.95 pound plate isn't bad either. 2 of those and a 20kg bar makes 50.0 pounds, right proper, right proper. Now you just have to find mates for those two odd plates. :p

@@vintageweightspgh I got more! Imagine 20 pairs of plates. Let's say they weigh 10 units each per pair. And you have another 20 pairs of plates that weigh 11 units. So far so good. Now use these weights on your bar, what kind of combinations do you get? Well, you can add 10, or also 11. What about 2 pairs? 20, 22 but also one of each for 21. Similar for 30 through 33, 40 through 44, all the way up to 80 to 88. 90 through 99, that covers all 10 in the decade finally! 89 was left out. With 20 pairs, 200 units is possible with all 10s and 220 is possible with all 11s. Now to let the cat out of the bag. 10 units isn't 10 units, it's 0.5lb (2*0.25lb). 11 units isn't really 0.55lb, but close enough at 0.25kg (2*0.125kg). 1 unit is 0.05lb, the resolution of your scale, 20 units to the pound. So after 90 units / 4.5lb, I can add any 0.05lb increment I want. It's easy to add 0.5lb or 0.55lb/0.25kg, but what about 0.1lb? You borrow! 150.1lb is 150+0.1 or 145 + 5.1lb or times 20 102 units (100 units is 5.0lb). That's easy enough. 22 units in kg (0.5kg, 2*0.25kg) plus 80 units in pounds (4.0 pounds, 1+0.75+0.25 in a standard microplate set), load 4.0lb with 0.5kg on top of 145 to get 150.1lb. What if I wanted just 9.45lb on the bar? 5.0+4.45 is 100+89 units, can't make 89 directly! I can make 189 with 99+90. So add 9*0.25kg or 2.25kg and 4.5lb to the bar, simple! I do like the unholy union of pound and kilo plates and them ending in even better pound resolution. But also in kg it comes out that a unit is 1/44 kg. Two things metric users love, fractions and not counting by 10s, ha!

To the best of my knowledge they aren’t worth too much more than other Olympic plates you’d find on the used market. I did a video about them a while back. However, I personally think DP had an important role in the development of the home gym due to their various products.

It's an Accutek heavy duty. About 40 bucks on Amazon. I love it. I have a link on my website: www.VintageWeightsPGH.com Just make sure to use on a firm surface. On normal stall mats, weights will fluctuate. I either use it on the firm dimpled mats in the front of my gym or on concrete (garage or patio).
