Great starter set for my first home gym. My order shipped the next day and I got it 2 days later. Good quality plates. Blackout plates are easy enough to read and distinguish sizes. I didn't notice that all the plates are the same diameter as the 45's, so that surprised me. I would like a little more aggresive knurling on the barbell but it's my preference. Locking collars work well, they seem like they should hold up nicely as long as you aren't throwing them across the room. I thought I might have an issue and l somebody emailed me back that same day on the weekend. I've lifted a few times this week and so far it's going to fit my needs. I just have this set and a basic short squat stand so when I save up some money to get some more additions I'll check this site first. Thanks!
