After a year’s worth of random life stuff I finally feel I’m getting somewhere on my WL. Since October 2023 I had a stage 0 breast cancer diagnosis, a high stakes job interview, switched jobs, and finally dealt with a nagging low back/hip pain when going heavy.

In the past few weeks I’ve put on 7 kilos on my split jerk, and I just added 6 kilos to my back squat. I had no significant gains in the squat since late 2022.

I’m sharing because it finally feels like I’m improving. I’ve been weightlifting since 2021, started with crossfit in 2019. The back pain is being addressed by working with a chiropractor who specializes in sports related conditioning and training. 😍

ETA: 45F, 71kg

I purchased a full compliment of bumper plates back in early 2020 like so many. I was able to get Rogue IWF plates for most, but had to get Uesaka D-Warrior 25kg bumpers due to availability issues.

I would like to share the issues I have encountered to help anyone else thinking about getting the plates. They have performed terribly in terms of quality and durability. All my plates are private, personal use and see modest usage. The rogue plates look like they could still be brand new once you wipe the dust and chalk away. The Uesaka plates, however, are crumbling and cracking. My lifting area is littered with visible bits of red detritus from the plates, and there is a crack on one where the metal disc meets rubber.

Considering the cost of these plates, there is no reason for a north american to choose Uesaka over the superior Rogue IWF plates.
