 AWESOME PRODUCT Sep 26, 2009
By 99problems
I was amazed in the quality of this weight system it is worth the money and was delivered in less than 4 days right when I needed it. If I didn't miss the delivery man would have been delivered in 2-3days make sure someone is home when its shipped to sign for pkg. the painting on the weight looks to be very durable and couldn't have asked for more HIGHLY RECOMMEND this product.
UPDATE: 2 YEARS LATER. 09/27/11
So it has been roughly 2 years since I last purchased these weights I figured while I am here might as well give a little update. These weights have been EXCELLENT and have not had any issues w/ the paint chirping off or anything of that nature I have put these weights under constant abuse weight lifting etc..
If your looking for weights please look no further
THIS IS IT

Very Satisfied Jun 17, 2009
By Jeff S.
These weights came just as expected. I have been using them daily for several weeks now and am very satisfied. I especially like the built in handles. It makes them much better for various exercises.

Nice Quality Oly Barbell Set Jul 16, 2010
By O. Soto
"Inquisitive Mind"
Plates are plate, but these Troy VTX plates are truly premium grade. The casting is top notch; the design is top of the line and it has zero defects. What makes the design appealing are the handles you find in the 25, 35 and 45 lb plates. The smooth handles make it extremely easy to transfer these plates on/off the bar. These plates will add quality and style to your home gym.
Besides the plates, the set comes with a common 7' Olympic chrome bench bar (GOB-86). What I like most about this bar is the circular ridges on the sleeves, which gives the bar more traction for the plates than the smooth sleeves you find on some bars in the gym. Also, the ridges helps to give your collars more grip. Since this bar will be used for a home gym, I advocate higher safety precautions and suggest you use a lock jaw collar or even an Ivanko.
The maximum weight load is 500 lbs, which is more than sufficient for most home gyms. If you plan to squat or bench more than 500 lbs, then you should look into a bar with a higher stress-tension.
You will not be disappointed with this set. Enjoy!

 Olympic Bar Weighs 38 LBS Nov 20, 2011
By Kieria
So I'm working out with this set for a while, getting some personal bests. I go workout somewhere else and their bar feels heavier. I get home and weigh mine and to my disgust it is 38lbs rather than the expected 45... Pretty pathetic.

Weight a minute Dec 31, 2009
By M. Gosnell
Yup, they're still making good weights and Serious Steel shipped mine out without incident. As stated in other reviews, make sure you're available (or can be) for a day when these contract carriers deliver. Mine came on a pallet which the deliverer rolled right up next my front door for me. There are 5 boxes and the bar which you are to inspect *before* signing for the shipment. Just plan ahead to briefly check the boxes & bar so in the excitement of anticipating moving 300lbs you don't forget to check your boxes.
I was surprised how much I enjoyed the handle design. I new it'd be better than the typical plates, but didn't realize HOW nice until actually moving some around! (very smart design)
Only minor con for me was in combination with the plate load tree I selected. (**Not that the load tree was bad - I'm quite pleased with it and would select it again above the others I saw!) As I mention on its review, these 45lb and 35lb plates hit when placed on adjacent bars (I got the Powerline OWT24 EZ Olympic Plate Load Tree - read that review for a better description of that problem). Once I figure out what I'll generally be lifting I can arrange it so there shouldn't be any problem. Another option could be to put 45s both on the same side of the tree, with 35s on the opposite side. None of the other weights are wide enough to cause similar problems.
