Weight Plates

Weight plates for progressive overload

Getting stronger happens step by step. With the right weight plates, you can build strength with purpose, in your home gym or at the gym. Combine them with a barbell and train your whole body. Use heavy plates for large muscle groups in exercises such as squats and deadlifts. Use lighter plates and change plates for smaller muscle groups and to make progress in explosive lifts such as cleans and snatches.

Different weight plates at ZEUZ

At ZEUZ, you will find weight plates with a bore diameter of 50.4 mm. This is the standard (Olympic) size for weight plates, and they fit directly on our barbells. The weight plates (bumper plates) are available in different types of rubber, as sets or individually. The advantage of bumper plates is that you can safely drop the barbell with plates from height because they absorb impact. This is ideal for, among other things, Olympic weightlifting and CrossFit. They are also kinder to your floor.

• Recycled Rubber: extremely durable and often the most affordable choice
• Virgin Rubber: pure rubber, making it thinner so more plates fit on your barbell.
• Virgin Rubber with minimal bounce: higher density, allowing the plates to settle faster after a drop
