Those plates are thick AF. A lot of people worry about weight, then threats, then maybe the shape. Rarely do people seem to look at the thickness. Good plates are in the .6” range.
I’ll take an 8lb plate that’s .6” thick over that all day. Literally, all day. You can get stronger and grow accustomed to the additional weight far easier than you’ll grow accustomed to that much extra bulk.
