Iron Plates - Gusseisen Gewichtsplatte

Cast iron weight plates for powerlifters and iron fans

Cast iron weight plates have been the standard in strength training for decades – with good reason. The classic clang on the bar, the solid feel of real metal – that's training atmosphere no rubber bumper can match. Our Iron Plates are noticeably more compact than rubber, cement or plastic plates. More compact iron means: more weight fits on your Olympic bar, you get more clearance on deadlifts, rows and squats, and the bar only starts to bend under genuinely heavy loads. The recessed grip handles make plate changes between sets quick and open up direct plate exercises: plate pinches, pullovers, French press, Russian twists or grip-strength training right with the plate.

Seven weights for clean progression

Available from 1.25 kg to 25 kg in seven increments – covering every micro-progression cleanly, without juggling magnet plates. From 20 kg upward, plates grow in thickness rather than diameter, keeping them manageable and the grip handles usable. The coating protects against corrosion for indoor training. Outdoor use means: wipe down after the session, or surface rust will form. Smaller rust spots come off easily with a cloth. What you get: weight plates that'll still serve your grandchild.
