Description
The build only runs out at 329 kg
This set brings eight red 25s with it – and that is what decides how far you can load. On a 20 kg barbell you end up with 309 kg of plates plus the bar, so 329 kg. Nothing is missing in between: every step from 0.25 kg to 25 kg comes twice, so you always load symmetrically onto both sides. This is the set for the powerlifting gym, for the strength and conditioning room – and for the basement setup where the deadlift is nowhere near finished.
What calibrated actually means here
After production every plate has fine weights fitted to the back and is set individually – powder coating included. That keeps the weight inside the IPF rule of 0.25 percent or 10 grams of the face value, so on a 20 kg plate within 50 grams. The plates are built from solid steel instead of cast iron: denser, so thinner at the same weight (the 25 kg measures 22 mm) and far less prone to breaking than cast. The colours tell you the weight – red 25, blue 20, yellow 15, green 10, white 5, black 2.5, silver for the fine plates. You grab the right one without hunting for the stamp.

| Criterion | 309 kg set | 159 kg set | Single plates |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plates in the set | 24 pieces | 18 pieces | your choice |
| Of those 25 kg | 8× | 2× | as needed |
| Total weight | 309 kg | 159 kg | depends on selection |
| On a 20 kg barbell | 329 kg | 179 kg | depends on selection |
| Steps | 0.25 to 25 kg, in pairs or more | 0.25 to 25 kg, all in pairs | individual weights |

If your heavy sets go past 179 kg – or are heading there soon – this is the right set. The six extra 25s make the difference. If you stay below that, the 159 kg Set covers everything and you top up later with single plates.

Customer reviews
In powerlifting you don't want a discussion about the weight. When an athlete pulls 250 kg at our place, that is the same number that goes on the competition sheet. We put this set together for exactly that: set it up once and never wonder again whether the number in the training log is right.
