WHAT ARE OLYMPIC WEIGHT PLATES?

A weight plate is a heavy, cast-iron flat plate with holes incorporated in the center for barbells to be inserted through them. A standard weight plate has a 25mm center hole. Olympic Weight Plates are a type of weight plate specifically designed to fit on Olympic barbells with standardized 2-inch sleeves. They are larger and heavier-duty than standard weight plates built for more intense sessions. Their weight ranges from 1.25 to 25 kg sizes while a standard plate weight ranges from 1 to 20 kg.

OLYMPIC RUBBER WEIGHT PLATES: IDEAL CHOICE FOR COMMERCIAL GYMS

Olympic rubber weight plates are a form of bumper plates coated in resilient rubber. Here’s why you should get these for your commercial gym:

• The rubber coating protects the plates from chips and damage resulting from severe lifting, therefore extending their lifetime.
• Rubber plates serve to minimize the effect on your gym floor, so lowering the chance of scratches and dents.
• Rubber-coated plates, unlike conventional metal plates, drastically lessen noise when dropped or laid down, therefore improving the workout environment.
• Built-in grip handles on many Olympic rubber weight plates simplify loading and unloading weights from the barbell and completing exercises without a bar. 

FAQs

Q. What are the Olympic-size weight plates?

Olympic-size weight plates have a 50 mm (2-inch) diameter center hole and typically come in various weights, such as 1.25 kg, 2.5 kg, 5 kg, 10 kg, 15 kg, and 20 kg.

Q. What is a standard weight plate vs Olympic?

Standard weight plates have a 25 mm (1-inch) diameter center hole, while Olympic plates have a 50 mm (2-inch) hole. Olympic plates are generally larger and designed for heavier lifting.

Q. Why are Olympic Plates so thin?

Olympic plates are thinner because they are made from dense steel, which is heavier than rubber. This means less material is needed to reach the same weight compared to rubber bumper plates.

Q. Can I buy individual weight plates, or do they come in sets?

Both options are available. Many retailers like 1441 Fitness KSA sell weight plates individually, allowing you to customize your load, while complete sets provide a range of weights for varied workouts.
