Description

Every step there, nothing to reorder

Eighteen plates, every weight in a pair – from the 0.25 up to the 25. That lets you load cleanly and symmetrically, and with a 20 kg barbell you reach 179 kg. It covers the biggest part of what happens daily in a powerlifting setup: squat, bench, deadlift, plus the small jumps that progression really hangs on. Half a kilo more than last week is no longer an estimate, it is a loading plan.

Steel, calibrated, colour coded throughout

Calibrated means this on these powerlifting plates: after production each one is weighed individually and brought into line with fine weights on the back – powder coating included, which otherwise likes to sneak in a few extra grams. Every plate ends up inside the IPF rule of 0.25 percent or 10 grams of the face value – on the 20 that is 50 grams. At the core sits solid steel instead of cast iron, so the plates build flatter and take more punishment than cast. The colour code runs through the whole set: silver for the three fine plates, black for the 2.5, white for the 5 – and going up, green, yellow, blue through to the red of the 25.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is in the 159 kg set?
18 plates, every weight twice: the fine plates at 0.25, 0.5 and 1.25 kg, plus 2.5 and 5 kg, then 10, 15, 20 and 25 kg above that. 159 kg together, cleanly split across both sides of the barbell.
How far does that get me on the bar?
With a 20 kg barbell you land at 179 kg, so 79.5 kg a side. If that is not enough in the long run, you can add extra 25s at any time.
What are the 0.25 kg plates for?
For the jumps nobody else manages. Two of them make half a kilo more on the bar – exactly the size that lets you keep climbing cleanly at the top end, instead of adding 2.5 kg and failing.
Can I drop the plates?
Better not. Steel absorbs nothing, and your floor and the plates will both hold it against you. For the snatch and the clean with a controlled drop, bumper plates belong on the barbell.
Which barbell do I need for them?
Any with an Olympic sleeve. At 50.4 mm bore diameter the plates run on every 50 mm sleeve without wobbling.
What sets them apart from normal cast iron plates?
Two things: each plate is weighed and set individually at the end, instead of simply being cast and packed. That is why it stays inside the IPF rule of 0.25 percent or 10 grams – a cast plate keeps whatever weight comes out of the mould. And solid steel builds flatter, so you fit more onto the same sleeve.
Are these plates certified for competition?
No, they are not certified. They are built to IPF specifications and the weight tolerances are met – which is why they are used regularly at competitions that don't require certified equipment. If your federation demands tested equipment, there is no way around certified plates.

Customer reviews

Most setups don't fall down at the heavy end, but at the fine end. You have 20s and 25s on the shelf but no 1.25s – so you jump from 140 to 145 and wonder why it isn't working. This set closes exactly those gaps, from the bottom to the top.
