Weight Plate Sets

How to choose a weight plate set

A set gives you matched pairs in one order. The main choices:

• Bumper or tri-grip. Bumper plates are natural rubber with a 450mm diameter, built for repeated drops with low bounce, so they suit Olympic lifts and functional training. Tri-grip plates have a cast iron core with a rubber coating and three handles, which makes them easy to carry, load and use on their own.
• Total weight. Plate totals here range from 7.5kg to 150kg. Choose a total that covers what you lift now, plus some headroom.
• Small plates. A 1.25kg and 2.5kg pair set lets you add load in small steps.
• Bar, bench and storage. Some packages add a 2.2m Olympic barbell (20kg, 350kg load capacity), an adjustable decline bench (300kg weight capacity) or a plate rack.

Common questions

Should I choose bumper plates or tri-grip plates?

Bumper plates are made for lifts where the bar may be dropped. Tri-grip plates are easier to handle and double as free weights for carries and other exercises.

Will these plates fit my barbell?

The bumper plates have a 50mm centre hole and fit Olympic barbells, and the tri-grip plates have a 50mm Olympic hole (the small set lists 51.5mm with a metal ring), so they suit Olympic bars.

Which sets come with a barbell?

If you want a barbell and weight set, the 50kg, 90kg, 100kg and 150kg barbell packages each work as an Olympic barbell set, with a 2.2m, 20kg Olympic straight barbell included. The 100kg and 150kg packages also include an adjustable decline bench.

How should I store my plates?

The toaster rack in the 150kg bumper package has varying gap sizes for different plate thicknesses, holds up to 2 Olympic barbells and comes fully welded with no assembly required. The 105kg tri-grip set is also available with a plate rack that has six 50mm plate spokes, holds 4 Olympic barbells and is rated to 500kg.
