When you go in most gyms, the free weights area will have a range of large black or brightly coloured round weight discs. These are Olympic weight plates, also called Olympic bumper plates. Olympic plates have a 2” (or 50mm) diameter hole, meaning they snugly fit an Olympic bar. This is different to 'standard' bumper plates, which have a smaller diameter hole of 25mm.
Weight plates can come in a number of finishes including rubber, PU (polyurethane), or a cast iron. The advantage of both rubber and PU weight plates is that they protect gym floors, produce less noise, and are protected against rust. Urethane plates, which are the most durable of all plates, have an anti-scratch property and also offer good grip.
Alongside material, you'll also want to consider other practical factors such as storage. We have a wide range of weight racks designed to hold up to six Olympic weight plates as well as four Olympic bars. You'll also want to consider if an Olympic weight plate set will fit in your gym space. Our gym design service can help you get the most out of your home, commercial, or college fitness suite.
You might also want to add weightlifting accessories to your Olympic bumper plate set, such as lock jaw collars, clamp collars, or spring collars. These are essential for securing the plates on your bar.
