Weight Plates
Deciding on which weight plates to buy depends on what type of training you’re planning on doing and what areas of the body you want to focus on. This will tell you what style of plates to go for. Whether you’re looking for something designed for high impact training like rubber bumper plates, or something for more precision-based training such as our Tri Grip Weights.
Weight plates, bumper plates and Olympic weight plates
Beginners and those lifting lighter loads might want to use a standard sized bar which will fit 1" standard weight plates. And as you progress, more advanced lifters will need 2" Olympic weight plates. These fit onto thicker, Olympic sized barbells which can take more weight and are designed to be used with gym equipment such as power racks.
From 5kg plates all the way up to complete sets
