Overview
Rogue 6-Shooter Olympic Grip Plates are high-quality cast iron plates featuring a unique gray hammertone finish and a functional six-hole "revolver" design. These plates are engineered for high-traffic use, offering athletes a comfortable grip for easier lifting, carrying, and loading from any angle. The symmetrical grip holes (featured on 25LB, 35LB, and 45LB increments) provide superior ergonomics compared to standard iron plates, while the slim profile ensures maximum loading capacity for any standard Olympic barbell.

Performance Benefits
Optimized Handling: The "Shooter" style holes make moving heavy plates around the gym safer and more efficient, particularly when picking them up flat off the floor.
High Loading Potential: These plates are narrower than standard machined Olympic plates, allowing for nearly 1,000 LB to be loaded onto a standard barbell.
Hammertone Durability: The gray hammertone coating is designed to hide wear and tear better than standard paint, maintaining a professional look even after years of use.
Versatility: The grip holes allow the plates to be used for various off-bar exercises, such as plate raises, weighted lunges, and farmers carries.
Consistent Accuracy: Strict weight tolerances ensure that your training loads remain consistent session after session.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning: Periodically wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using abrasive chemicals that may damage the hammertone finish.
Surface Protection: These are iron plates; use on rubberized gym flooring or lifting platforms to protect the finish and the subfloor.
Rust Prevention: If the finish is chipped or scratched to raw iron, a small amount of 3-in-One oil or touch-up paint can prevent oxidation.
No Impact Drops: DO NOT DROP. These are cast iron grip plates. Dropping them like bumper plates can cause the iron core to crack or fracture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why don't the 10LB and 5LB plates have holes? A: Due to their smaller diameter, the 2.5LB, 5LB, and 10LB plates are solid discs. The "6-Shooter" grip hole pattern is only safely and functionally integrated into the larger 25LB, 35LB, and 45LB plates.
Q: Do these come in kilograms (KG)? A: Currently, the Rogue 6-Shooter Grip Plates are primarily available in Pound (LB) increments.
Q: Will the gray hammertone finish match my other Rogue equipment? A: Hammertone is a textured finish designed to hide imperfections. While it has a distinct look, it complements other gray and black powder-coated equipment well.
Q: Are these plates thinner than Rogue Machined plates? A: Yes, these are generally narrower than Rogue’s standard machined Olympic plates, offering a slightly higher loading capacity on the bar.
