- Do these plates fit a standard Olympic bar?
- Yes. Every plate has a 2-inch center hole, which is the standard Olympic sleeve size. They also fit Olympic dumbbell handles and plate-loaded machines.
- What plates are included in the 110 lb set?
- Four 5 lb plates, four 10 lb plates and two 25 lb plates, ten plates in total. The total weight is 110 lb.
- Are these plates good for deadlifts and dropping?
- Cast iron plates can be dropped on a platform or thick mats, but they are not bumper plates. On bare concrete or thin flooring they can chip and damage the floor.
- Can I use the grip holes for dumbbell work?
- Yes. The three-hole grip lets you hold a plate in one hand for curls, raises and Russian twists. Wear gloves if rough casting bothers your hands.
- How do these compare with rubber bumper plates?
- Cast iron is more compact on the bar and usually more durable for static loading, but it is louder and less forgiving on drops. Bumpers are better if you drop the bar often.
- Will the finish rust?
- The black baked enamel resists rust, but chips expose bare iron. Touch up chips and store plates dry to keep rust away.
