Description
100 kg at your place is 100 kg at the meet
In powerlifting, what counts is that your numbers stay comparable – in training, at the meet, across years. Our calibrated weight plates hold the IPF weight rule: within 0.25 percent or 10 grams of the stamped value – so on a 20 kg plate, within 50 grams. Every plate gets calibration weights on the back after production and is set individually. A federation certificate they don't carry, though. Whether you're prepping for a meet or simply want to know what you're moving – with these plates you know the band the weight sits in.
Solid steel, not cast iron
We use solid steel instead of cast iron. The difference: higher material density means thinner plates at the same weight. More room on the bar, more weight possible. Steel is also far more resistant to cracking – an advantage that pays off every day in a powerlifting gym or a basement home gym. The high-quality powder coating provides a durable finish and is factored into the total weight. All plates are colour coded so you can see at a glance which weight you're grabbing.

For competition prep, powerlifting and strength sports, calibrated steel plates are the right call. If you just want to train and don't need exact weights, standard cast iron plates will do the job.
