Do Plate Heights Differ?

[WalkingBeast]

Hey everyone! Ive been noticing after switching gyms, that deadlifts off the floor are feeling awkward lately. Could be because I took a month off, but Im wondering if the height of the 45lb plates might have been an inch or more higher then the gym Im at now. Would definately effect bar height if this was the case. I switched from Standard Ivanko 45lb plates to the newer Ivanko plates with the holes in them. Anyone know if there is a height difference? Any feedback is greatly appreciated!!

not sure about the ivanko plates but ive noticed in my gym there a few 45 plates that seem a little older and slightly larger.. whic obviously can affect your pull...however when doind deads i usally use the rubber coated hex plates bar doesnt roll and sits wherever you plant it...

Wow, personally I find those hex plates are horrible for deads. They tend to not land back flat for me, and they bounce and jar me if they come downslightly on a corner.

Beast, I don't know orb. I have seen a few brands mixed up and they seem to be the same hight, but I could be wrong. You could probably do a google search and find the sepcs on each type.

ThanX for all the replies everyone!! You guys KICK FUCKIN ASS!! I did a little google research as BBF suggested and the answer was very easy to come across. Ivanko's site shows both types of plates I was referring too and states that the diameters are the same. So I guess its just me thats FUCKED up lately!! haha Im deadlifting today and hope to pull more then 455 this time. Some days deadlifting feels extremely awkward, and sometimes it feels good. Strange. I used to LOVE to pull off the rack with 3/4 deads then go directly to regular deads and Id be real strong on them. Now I have to basically go directly to floor deads, until I can find a decent adjustment on these new racks. ThanX for all the support as always! KEEP KILLING THAT SHIT!!

I was going to 2 different gyms

In the second one the 25s look like the 45s of the first gym

Good for the ego
