Weight plates are used to add resistance to barbells, plate-loaded machines, and strength equipment. They are essential for progressive strength training and muscle development.

Weight plates are suitable for all fitness levels, from beginners to advanced lifters. They are commonly used in home gyms, studios, and commercial fitness facilities.

Weight plates are used for exercises such as squats, deadlifts, presses, rows, Olympic lifts, and plate-loaded machine exercises. They can also be used independently for functional training.

Bumper plates are designed for Olympic lifting and allow safe dropping, while cast iron plates are more compact and commonly used for general strength training. Rubber-coated plates reduce noise and floor impact.

Most Olympic weight plates feature a 50mm center hole and are compatible with Olympic barbells and plate-loaded machines. Always check specifications for compatibility.

Weight plates require minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning, proper storage, and avoiding excessive moisture will help maintain their condition and longevity.
