I've got the York commercial flat bench. The thing is darn near perfe t for me. I've loaded it with over 800 pounds total weight and it did not budge, wiggle or creak at all. In fact, I think I heard it laugh ;-)
Alright, I realize you guys have pics of your gear spread all around on various threads but I think they need to be consolidated into this thread. I also don't think anyone else should be inducted into the ()---()York Barbell Club()---() unless they post pics of their gear here as well. I may not own any York products myself but I do enjoy some iron porn.

Nice. Good ideas.
You need a rack, bench and 300-lb. Oly set. Now, what was your question?

Great idea. So, to join this club we need to own York gear, post it on this thread and wait for an invite?
I do not own any York gear yet, but in my research of plates as of late, I am really enamored by their Legacy Olympic Standard Plates. I have went back and forth between them and Ivanko plates, while "building my dream gym in my head" and I just keep leaning to the Yorks. There is something about them that I just like. They seem like "real raw iron"...or something like that! HAHAHHA!
Although realistically, I would be more able to afford one of their International Olympic Plate weight sets in a realistic time frame.
Does anyone here know much about those plates? From my understanding they are "rough cast" plates, and are not milled. What I am curious about is their weight accuracy. Would these be a good way to "jump into nicer plates" or should I just save forever to get the "Legacy milled" plates?
Any advice or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, brethren. The "easy" way is to go online and order from Old Time Strong Man. Should a York man go the easy way? No. He puts in the work and makes the pilgrimage to York, PA and buys his shirt from the outlet store on-site at the Weightlifting Hall of Fame!
ETA: oldtimestrongman.com is a good website. If you can, you should make the drive to York to check out the museum.
