Weight It Out earns our Best Weight Plate Brand award for 2026, standing out in a crowded field with its focus on creating the thinnest calibrated steel plates available while offering a full lineup across cast iron, bumper, and steel options.
The brand’s commitment to American manufacturing (as much as possible) and extreme precision makes it a favorite for lifters who demand maximum bar loading and accuracy without excess bulk. Weight It Out impresses with its engineering that solves real-world problems. Construction quality is exceptional - laser cut solid steel plates with tight tolerances (typically within 0.5% variance), smoothed edges for safety, and industrial coatings that resist chipping. Ergonomics score highly with their superior thin profile and handle design that makes loading/unloading easier and safer, especially with heavier plates. Versatility is outstanding: calibrated steel for competition accuracy, thin cast iron for value, thin bumpers for heavy lifting, and even the world’s heaviest plate at 250 lbs for strongman-style training.
Custom colors and engraving options add personalization without compromising function. Warranty coverage is lifetime, reflecting confidence in durability. Weight It Out is the best choice for serious lifters seeking maximum bar capacity, precision, and American-made quality - perfect for home gyms focused on progressive overload, powerlifting, or building a complete plate collection that lasts.
