Rogue Deep Dish Plate Arnold Edition

The Rogue Arnold Deep Dish Plate Is A Special Premium Variant Of Our Existing 45Lb Deep Dish Plate. The Design Is Directly Modeled After The Machined Steel Plates We’Ve Produced For The Elephant Bar Deadlift Event At The Arnold Strongman Classic, But It’S Cast By One Of Our American Foundry Partners, Allowing Us To Offer An Official Arnold Plate For The First Time To Our Customers.

Distinguished By The Iconic Schwarzenegger Silhouette Embossed Between The Weight Indications, Each Rogue Arnold Deep Dish Plate Also Includes A Machined Outer Rim, Back Face, And Center Hub In The Vintage Style, With A 450Mm Outside Diameter, 50Mm Width, And A Strict Weight Tolerance Of +2% / -0%. They Are Available To Order As Singles Or In Packs, And Are Produced Exclusively In The 45Lb Weight Increment.

The Benefits Of The “Deep Dish”
The Extra-Wide “Deep Dish” Design Of These Plates Instantly Harks Back To The Classic Cast Iron Plates Of The Past, Which Were Used For All Olympic Lifts Before The First Bumpers Were Invented In The 1960S. Historically, Deep Dish Plates Were Favored More For Functionality Than Aesthetic, As Their Increased Surface Area Minimized The Damage To Old-School Wooden Platforms And Rubber Mats When Dropped—But Over Time, They Grew To Be Equally Prized For Their Vintage Appearance. With Rogue’S Deep Dish Plates, We Have Recaptured The Iconic Look And Feel Of That Era While Also Utilizing The Latest In Modern Casting, Machining, And Finishing Methods, Producing Plates That Are Much More Resilient Than The Ones That Inspired Them.

We Developed This First-Ever Arnold Deep Dish Plate With Cadillac Casting, Inc., A Michigan-Based Foundry Backed By Nearly 100 Years Of History In Metal Casting And An Unmatched Reputation For Quality. As With Our E-Coat Kettlebells (Which They Also Produce), Cadillac Casts Each Arnold Plate From Ductile Iron, Which Has A Higher Tensile Strength And Yield Strength Than Standard Gray Iron, Along With Superior Corrosion Resistance. Precision Machining On The Entire Back, Center Hub, And Outer Rim Of Each Plate Ensures A Uniform Diameter And Secure Fit On The Bar, And The Electrically Applied E-Coat Finish Goes On Thinner Than A Traditional Powder Coat, Allowing For A Lustrous Finish Without Losing The Underlying Texture Of The Casting. E-Coat Is Also Known For Its Excellent Adhesion, Even Coverage, And Overall Toughness.
