Olympic Weight Plates

A staple for all gyms. Olympic plates/discs are required whether you are a professional athlete, gym goer, or garage gym owner. The type of plates you should purchase is based on your requirements. If you perform Olympic lifts, circuits, and Crossfit, then you will need a solid rubber bumper plate. If you are a powerlifter, then cast iron or steel plates are the right choice. However, if you are a keen gym user, you may find your gym has rubber-coated plates, either a grip design of a flanged plate. These are generally used on bench presses, squat racks, and plate-loaded equipment, where impact reduction is not required and nor is maximum weight per inch of the bar. No matter your way of training, we can help you with the right plate type.
