Overview
The CAP RSG-100T3 is a cast iron weight plate with an item weight of 100 pounds, priced at $159.66. Cast iron is the traditional plate material: dense, durable, and built to outlast most training programs. The 4.0-star rating from 295 verified buyers suggests most owners find it serviceable for everyday training.
As a raw cast iron plate, it lacks any rubber coating, which means it will make more noise on drops and can damage unprotected flooring. If your gym setup includes rubber mats or you lift on concrete, that is less of a concern. Weight tolerance details are not published; verify on the product page before purchase.
At $159.66, the CAP RSG-100T3 sits in a competitive part of the market. Buyers who prioritize cost-per-pound of iron over polish or floor-friendly coatings will find it a workable choice, while those wanting gym-quality fit and finish may prefer the rubber options reviewed elsewhere on this site.
