Overview
Rogue 6-Shooter Urethane Olympic Grip Plates are premium, heavy-duty iron plates encased in a thick, durable polyurethane (urethane) coating. Designed for high-traffic commercial facilities and serious home gyms, these plates feature a unique six-hole "revolver" design on the 25LB, 35LB, and 45LB variants. This ergonomic design allows for easy carrying, loading, and off-the-bar exercises. Unlike standard rubber-coated plates, the high-quality urethane is more resistant to scuffing, chemicals, and degradation over time, making them a long-term investment for any strength program.

Performance Benefits
Superior Ergonomics: The "6-Shooter" holes offer multiple hand positions, making it safer and easier to load heavy barbells or move plates across a facility.
Durability of Urethane: Urethane is significantly tougher than standard rubber, offering better resistance to ultraviolet light, heat, and impact-related scuffing.
Versatile Utility: The integrated handles allow these plates to be used independently for movements such as weighted lunges, steering wheels, shrugs, and lateral raises.
Tight Tolerances: Machine-cut collar openings and strict weight tolerances ensure a consistent feel and accurate loading for powerlifting and general strength training.
Floor Protection: While not intended for dropping, the 5MM urethane skin provides a buffer that protects both the plates and gym flooring from noise and impact during loading and unloading.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning: Wipe with a damp microfiber cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive pads that could dull the urethane finish.
Rust Prevention: Ensure the center collar opening remains dry. If the center ring shows signs of oxidation, a light application of 3-in-One oil can prevent further wear.
Drop Policy: DO NOT DROP. These are grip plates, not bumper plates. Dropping them can damage the iron core or cause the urethane coating to separate.
Storage: Store on a dedicated plate tree or toaster rack.
Warranty Information
Rogue 6-Shooter Urethane Olympic Grip Plates are backed by a 5-Year Commercial Warranty against breakage.
Note: This warranty is void if there is evidence of abuse or excessive dropping.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I drop these like bumper plates? A: No. While the urethane coating is durable, these have a cast iron core. Dropping them like bumpers can cause the iron to crack or the coating to peel.
Q: Do the 5LB and 10LB plates have the grip holes? A: No. The "6-Shooter" grip hole pattern is only featured on the 25LB, 35LB, and 45LB plates. The 2.5LB, 5LB, and 10LB plates are solid discs with a standard center hole.
Q: Are these plates sold individually or in pairs? A: Rogue offers these in pairs, full sets (such as the 245LB set), or as custom packages.
Q: Will these fit my standard Olympic bar? A: Yes. The 50.60mm opening is precision-cut to fit all standard 50mm Olympic-spec barbell sleeves.
