Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What are Olympic cast iron weight plates?
Olympic cast iron weight plates are solid, heavy-gauge discs made from high-density cast iron with a standardised 2-inch (50mm) centre hole. Precision-machined to fit Olympic barbells, they are the classic choice for strength training, powerlifting, and general fitness, prized for their slim profile, durability, and the ability to load maximum weight onto the bar.
What is the difference between Olympic plates and standard 1-inch plates?
The crucial difference is the centre hole diameter: Olympic plates have a 2-inch (approx. 50mm) hole made for Olympic barbells, while standard plates have a 1-inch (approx. 25mm) hole. Olympic plates are wider in diameter and more stable on the bar, and they are the industry standard for committed strength training due to their greater weight capacity and compatibility with modern gym equipment.
What sizes are available in this Olympic cast iron plate range?
The Lift Sets range covers precise weights from 1.25kg micro-plates up to 25kg full-size plates. Common increments include 1.25kg, 2.5kg, 5kg, 10kg, 15kg, 20kg, and 25kg, allowing you to make small, accurate jumps in load for progressive overload, from rehabilitation and technique work all the way to heavy compound lifts.
