Frequently Asked Questions
Are cast iron weight plates better than PVC?
Cast iron plates offer higher density and occupy less space on the bar. They don't crack or leak like sand-filled PVC alternatives.
Do these plates fit an Olympic barbell?
These plates feature a 28mm hole for standard bars only. Olympic barbells require a larger 50mm center bore for compatibility.
