- Do these plates fit a standard Olympic bar?
- Yes. The plates have a 2-inch center hole, which is the standard Olympic size, and the set is built around a 7-foot Olympic bar.
- Can I drop these plates like bumper plates?
- No. They are cast iron with an enamel coating, so drops chip the finish and can damage floors. Use them on a platform or rack and lower them with control.
- What plates are in the set?
- Two 25 lb, two 10 lb and two 5 lb plates, for 110 lb total.
- Are the plates accurate to their marked weight?
- Cast iron plates like these are generally close but not calibrated. Owners report some variation, so treat the marked weight as approximate.
- Will the plates rust?
- The enamel coating resists rust, but bare cast iron shows through where it chips. Wipe plates dry and touch up worn spots to slow corrosion.
- Do I need collars with this set?
- Collars are not included. Add a pair of Olympic collars to keep plates secure on the bar.
