Description

The diameter is what counts, not the weight

Without full-size plates the bar sits at ankle height – and you pull from a position that never comes up in a heavy set. Whatever you groove there, you have to unlearn later. The Eco Technique Plate has the full plate diameter but weighs only 2.5 or 5 kg. That puts the barbell at the same height as a fully loaded bar while the resistance stays small. For the snatch, the clean and overhead work that means the same position rep after rep, without tiring out your back and shoulders.

Open structure, metal ring, two weights

The technique plate stands out immediately: a black ribbed pattern instead of a closed face – you can see right through the cells. That is the difference to the Full Size, which does the same job with a solid face. The ribs run evenly all the way round, between the metal ring in the middle and the closed rim. The metal ring protects the bore when you pull the plate on and off, and the rim tells you the weight at a glance: red for 2.5 kg, white for 5 kg. Like every technique plate it belongs on the barbell on its own, without heavy plates alongside – and you set it down rather than dropping it from overhead. That is all it takes to keep it around.

Eco Technique Plate – which weight suits you?

Variant Weight per plate / rim Built for
ETP-025 2.5 kg, red rim First weeks in weightlifting, kids' and youth training, coming back after a break
ETP-050 5 kg, white rim Technique blocks with real resistance, warm-up sets before the heavy part

Learning the movement, start at 2.5 kg – two of them on a light barbell are plenty. Once the pattern roughly holds, put more pull on the bar with 5 kg. Want to combine both steps, order two of each. And if you need stated dimensions for daily box use, look at the Full Size Technique Plate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a technique plate?
A plate in full size with very little weight. It holds the barbell at the right height above the floor so you pull from the real starting position – even with hardly any load on it.
What sets the Eco Technique Plate apart from the Full Size Technique Plates?
The build. The Eco Technique Plate has an open ribbed pattern with a metal ring in the middle. On the Full Size 2.5 kg the face is closed, and diameter and thickness are stated there at 45 cm and 80 mm. The purpose is the same for both, and the Eco Technique Plate sits clearly lower in price.
Which variant should I take?
For the first weeks 2.5 kg, for technique blocks with a bit of pull 5 kg. Anyone who wants both covered orders two plates of each and combines them per exercise.
Can I drop the Eco Technique Plate?
Setting down under control yes, dropping from overhead no. Rubber bumper plates are there for drops.
Am I allowed to mix them with other plates?
Load them on the barbell on their own. Add heavy plates and the whole impact lands on the light technique plate.
Do I get a pair?
No, you order a single plate. For left and right you need two of them.

Customer reviews

The Eco Technique Plate was our answer to a question home gym people kept asking us: do I really have to buy the full programme for two technique days a week? No, you don't. If you want to practise cleanly at home and you're not passing the same plate around twenty athletes every day, it is exactly right.
