Mate you are over analysing all this. Just buy the gear then pick it up and put it down.
Rubber coated weights are rubber coated weights. Buy the cheapest ones you can find.
The only exception is if you are planning to compete and worried about doing deads with a 20mm deficet (really who gives a shit even if you are a competitive powerlifter) then the ABC plates are regulation 450mm??? I think.
A 20kg plate weighs 20kg the quality doesn't matter a pinch of shit, we aren't talking quality bumpers or claibrated eleikos here.
Concerns are i've heard a lot about some rubber coated plates being really smelly... Kettlebells.com.au is local for me (Melbourne) so i'm thinking they are the go, just wanted to know if they make sense
Considering the cheapo china bars comment... this seems at odds with the 'barbell' thread?
Don't think I'm been rude or anything mate if you have the money and want to buy top quality kit go for it, but before you rush out and drop 5K I just thought I would be the voice of reason. I guess my point is it's the effort you put in not the quality of the gear that will get the results.

That owes me $1200. add to that the 120kg dumbell set from gym direct ($300 I think??) and I can do everything you can for $1500 delivered to my door.
Yes there are a few less then perfect design issues with the rack but lets not read too much into it, none of it stops me picking shit up and putting it down. It's weight lifting not brain surgery.
Quality is great but there are options to do it on the cheap as well. The good shit doesn't make the workouts any easier. Like I said mate just offering an alternative opinion to everyone saying go out and drop all your dough on top dollar equipment. If you can afford top dollar and want it, do it.
