Does anyone still use standard plates? (vs. Olympic plates)

[blackhole]

i was wondering if anyone here still uses the old standard - 1"- plates. my grandfather was an old school powerlifter, you know, when no one cared about bench press it was all about clean and jerk, jefferson lifts, 1 arm deadlifts. well he had a buttload of standard plates which i have incorporated into my home gym. he used to drive down to york pennsylvannia back in the 50's to buy them. just seeing if anyone out there still uses them.
