Hello
I'm after some 25kg olympic plates - as thin as possible though. Got some of the red bumper plates but am running out of room on my hex bar.
Does anyone have any recommendations or know of anywhere that has such a thing in stock?
Cheers

I got several plates from Rebel Strength last year (https://www.rebelstrength.co.uk), all of them are about 20mm thick regardless of weight (I only bought up to 20kg plates but assume 25kg will be the same), not sure if the extra diameter on the 25kg plates would be a problem with deadlifts for you though.

They're just raw steel but all of mine were very accurate when I weighed them on some bathroom scales and they advertise calibrated plates too now.

They make all their own stuff so everything should be available, but it was a few weeks lead time when I ordered.

They’re slimmer than bumper plates, but at 4cm might be too thick for you.

I bought 300kg from these guys in lockdown 1.

Much thinner than normal plates. They don't look as fancy as rogue or whatever but they're way cheaper.

Nice one - they look like just the ticket. Current bumper plates are 10.5cm thick! Good price too

Also look good - no 25s but bearing in mind how slim they are, a 20 and a 5 would do just as well. Cheers
