These plates are great so far (1 month of use). The differently colored flecks and thicknesses for each of the weights makes them easy to tell apart without having to look for the imprint. They don't have a super strong smell and don't flake off. They fit nicely onto my barbell.

Solid plates. Shipping was very fast. Not the cleanest edges out of the box but not complaining for the price. They are bumper places after all, meant to be thrown around. Will be purchasing more as the gym expands

These plates are awesome and feel awesome. The weight is calibrated to be the exact weight as advertised. Delivery is fast and reliable. Will be buying more in the future!

I’m so glad I found home grown lifting! Ordered the 190lb set. The price point was good. Rather spend money with home grown versus the jungle website. Really happy with the set, it’s the correct range of weight for teenagers and adults looking to lift. The weights had some oil on them I’m guessing from the molding process. I cleaned it off easily with soap and water. Not a big deal to me. Thanks for the great weight set!

First time ordering plates and wasnt sure which ones to get, after a few youtube videos and some reading on reddit. I now own the 260lb set from homegrown lifting and so far everything has been great look forward to ordering more in the near future. Thank you!

Got the plates and bar for my fiancés birthday a couple months back and we are so happy with it! After a few months, the plates/bar are still in such great shape, they’re aesthetically pleasing in our home gym, and super durable. I even had questions before placing my order and someone was able to help me out within minutes via text . I loved the personal attention, rather than speaking to an automated system. 10/10!

Great product even for factory seconds. I’m in a home gym so space in a big factor so fitting more and a weight tree and having extra room on the bar has been great.

Just returned to Oly-lifting after about 10 years, so needed affordable bumper plates. Homegrown had very reasonable shipping costs and arrived in a timely manner. The plates all had good texture and balance felt great on the bar! While I recover my technique, I'll be planning to pick up more of these!

Ordered two of these benches and they’re fantastic. I have a few from more well known brands and these are as good or better while being much more affordable. Easy to assemble and high quality.

This set up is perfect for a garage gym, basement or even professional business. For the cost this is one of the best workout equipment setups I’ve ever purchased. The installation wasn’t too bad, but the instructions could be a little better. For the rack mount you will need to buy your own screws and washers. Other than that I have used this rack a few times and it is sleek, durable and versatile for all types of workouts. HGL is a must buy.

Great customer service. Quickly resolved my issue of forgetting to add the 15lb pair to my order. One 25lb pair bumper is messed up a bit but not a big deal in the function. Otherwise had no odor upon opening and functions great for my needs. Would definitely recommend buying from them.

Great budget weights I bought them because I have a floor. I don’t want to tear up with iron. They are well put together and aesthetically pleasing. I’m happy with my purchase. Thanks again.

Well constructed bumper plate that is made in America. The only thing making this "factory seconds" is a little extra rubber that wasn't clean shaven out of the molds. Other than that they are fully functional and nice and thin. Cannot beat the price!

We run a small gym / personal training in Pittsburgh. Our 25lb plates are always breaking from dropping the barbell, but these new 25’s from Homegrown really look like they are going to stand up to the heavy lifts!💪🏻

Ordering was simple, delivery was smooth. So far love the weights. It’s nice to have all the weights the same size. My family lifts at lots of different weight ranges, so this has been a great addition.

The weights are solid and well constructed. They are a bit thick but the dimensions are clearly displayed on the sight. They fit the Olympic bar perfectly. I have no complaints.

I love these bumper plates! I bought some earlier this year for my new start up Personal Training gym and already had to buy more! They’re the perfect thickness for if dropping the barbell is needed. Also my clients love the different colors!

The Hex bar was shipped very quickly and arrived well packaged. The bar was also oiled which was nice, obviously to prevent rusting. The bar is great, the 45# weight of the bar is good because you don't need to re-do the math when adding plates. The bar also fits normal barbell clamps (the hex bar did come with a pair of standard clamps as well). The knurling on the bar is a little more aggressive than the rouge ohio bar knurling. Since there won't be much movement on the bar, I don't think it'l...

These guys are great. I continue to purchase a couple of plates as I need them. These plates are great and could not be happier with the level of service when I go and get my order.

The plates are great overall! No bad smell or damage in shipping. A quick shopvac to the plates removed any loose crumbs from manufacuring. The plates are super quiet when deadlifting on concrete. A couple notes. The plates are chunky and you're limited by space to loading 405 lbs max on a standard barbell. The 10 lb weights are pretty thin and wobble like a baby giraffe's legs under stress. Overall I'm super happy with these plates and they meet all of my needs while being an economical choice.

Best value on bumper plates. Even better with the Black Friday sale. I ordered the 260lb set and a pair of “factory second” 45’s. I couldn’t be happier with the price or quality.

Just received it and set it all up in a day. Did a test bench press progression and I love the bar can hold 700lbs. When deadlifting and or squatting I don’t have to worry about out anything. I love this set!

I’d for sure buy the thin bumpers over the regular ones. You can fit 5 (6 without clips) on each side with most bars I haven’t gotten around to weighing them, but they feel like they are all around 45lbs The price is pretty unbeatable

I needed to save money on plates and a bar and the factory “seconds” were perfect. They do the job. I don’t need pretty weights. The slight flaws don’t bother me at all. Love the addition to my gym. Will be ordering more when I can.

Great feel to the platform, good size (just right when doing jerks considering I’m 6 ft tall), very stable after installing the foldable squat rack on it. I’m able to fold and open the rack without issues. The wood looks great also. Love doing Olympic lifts on it. Overall, great bang for your buck.

The box came a little torn up but the bench was in pristine shape. Easy to set up. Incredibly sturdy and firm but with great comfort. The bench is easy to adjust to hit numerous incline angles, as is the seat. Exactly what I was looking for for my home gym and would recommend to anyone looking for an adjustable bench

These spotter arms are well made, and they do the job. I have had to set my bar on them several times and have full confidence in my safety. I affix them to my wall mounted folding rack. Please note that having good bolted joints on a rack of this type to the wall will be the biggest structural concern in this system. As long as your rack is well affixed to a good wall, these will work well. Well done Homegrown.

This thing is built like a tank! You won’t find another 4 post 3x3 rack built this tough. The laser cut numbers are also a life saver. Highly recommend getting this rack if you’re debating between this and one from another manufacturer. It will not disappoint!

We love it. My wife was maxing out the cheap set her family bought her for hip thrusts so I got all this for her for her birthday. We just need a full size bar for heavier lifts.

I ordered one set of 45s The plates arrived in 3 days to NY . The packaging was done well and it was intact. The plates look just as pictured on the site. I weighed each plate 3 times and all times they weighed 45.1 which is perfect. Other brands sometimes are off by over a pound or worse. The 3.66" of thickness is no joke . They were a bit thicker than I expected but that's why homegrown offers the thin 45s now. For me I can mix these plates with iron to get desired weights on bar. But if It wa...

Great clips. They clamp the bar nice and snug and hold the weights in place. They even work well on my axle bar, which is only 1.9 inches diameter.
