Weight plates are discs of metal or rubber that are added to barbells and dumbbells to increase the amount of weight that is being lifted. They are effective in helping to build strength and muscle mass.
If you're looking to add muscle mass, you may be wondering if using weight plates is a good idea. After all, they're smaller and easier to handle than barbells and dumbbells. The answer is yes, you can build muscle with plates. In fact, many bodybuilders and other strength athletes use weight plates as their primary training tool. The key is to use a variety of exercises and to train with heavy weights. If you're only using weight plates for isolation exercises, you're not going to see the same results as someone who is using them
There are a lot of things that can affect how an earthquake feels. The first is the size of the earthquake. The second is how close you are to the epicenter, or the center of the earthquake. The third is what kind of ground you are on. If you are on soft ground, like sand, the earthquake will feel bigger than if you are on hard ground, like concrete. If you are in a tall building, the earthquake will feel different than if you are on the ground. The most important thing to remember is that earthquakes can happen anywhere, at

I adore this equipment in our just built, fully equipped home gym. The bumper plates feel fantastic and look terrific, and Rep directly quickly fixed a minor delivery problem. They went above and beyond, and it was a terrific experience working with them. The plates did initially smell like rubber, but we let them air out outside for a few days before bringing them inside. At that point, most of the scent had subsided, but for a few more days, our home gym continued to smell like a gym (20x15 room size). No longer does the rubber smell one week later! We are beyond happy and have no problem recommending the product and the Rep firm. We are similarly happy with the matching Olympic weight tree from Rep that we also bought from Amazon.

They are attractive to me because they are light in weight. (The remaining words in this sentence explain why thin is such a beautiful thing.) A Yes4All 14-inch handle can easily accommodate one of these plus two additional Cap barbell standard grip plates. Actually, a 10 pound Cap barbell standard grip plate and two of these on each side will fit, making a 105 pound dumbbell. If you're brave, you could fit three on either side of a Yes4All 14-inch handle (a 125-pound dumbbell), but I wouldn't advise it because the clamps' screw-on design wouldn't be as secure. As they get lighter, plates become thinner. The size of this plate is 1.185 inches. The normal plate widths for cap barbells for 10, 5, and 2.5 pounds are.975,.811, and.618 inches. After accounting for the clamps, the Yes4All Dumbbell handles have 3.35 inches for plates.

What more needs to be said about a 5# weight than has already been said. This item will support you even if you chose to add just five pounds while lifting at your current weight. Oh, but wouldn't that be unbalanced, you remark with intelligence. Yes, I do admit that it would. So you'd best get two of these bad boys, just like I did. Yes, it costs twice as much, but since you receive twice as much, it seems only fair. Just be ready to lift 10 pounds more; after all, if you can only handle 5 pounds more, you only need 2 to 2.5 pounds of weight. For just the price of a review, you have now received both a review and a math lesson. Is this the wrong time to confess that I didn't weigh these to determine if they were truly 5#? Because I utterly failed to. I guess there are moments when you just have to believe in people. Of course, I neglected to include all the additional uses for this, such as tracing circles precisely this size, using it as a coaster, and using it as a pretty short-range frisbee. This one is a multitasker pro.

I purchased a pair of 25-pound weights because they were only $20 apiece (weight plates typically cost at least $1 per pound).The perforations are well positioned for many different workouts, including one-arm lifts, cross-body lifts, overhead deltoid and tricep raises, and core strengthening. Additionally, the coating is baked on rather than painted. The height of these plates and the height the barbell is raised above the ground make them ideal for deadlift beginning position workouts. They are also resistant to rust and chipping.Both were accurately weighed and came to 25 lb /- 0.2 lb. They also fit standard-sized barbells and dumbbells with inner holes that are 1-1/8 in.I only really have one drawback: the size of the internal hole. Patience is required here. I bought 2 of these weight plates, however it took Amazon mailing me 5 weight plates before I got 2 that fit my Onmie standard barbell/dumbbell set properly owing to problems with quality control of the sizing/reaming (the holes were only millimeters too small). Given that Amazon is in charge of fulfilling this order, I just called them, and everything was handled efficiently. An issue with quality control, but not with the finished product.In general, I would suggest this product. Excellent size and grip places for use with a barbell.

nice and reliable caliber. got four 1.25 pound. black plates, and I'm pleased with them. As long as the quality is the same, I would absolutely purchase these again. Since writing this review, I've purchased twelve (5 pound) grey plates. Excellent and consistent quality can be found. Two of the five pound plates were defective, and Amazon mailed me replacements. Compared to the black finish, the grey finish appears to be more robust. Both the 15.75 inch x 1.25 inch and the 14 inch x 1 inch dumbbell handles can be used with these plates. These CAP BARBELL dinnerware plates come highly recommended. I purchased comparable plates from USA SPORTS by TROY BARBELL on WAYFAIR.COM, but the quality is appalling. About a year apart, I ordered from WAYFAIR twice, and both times the quality was terrible. ADVANCED 7/10/16 The four 10-pound platters I recently got were of great quality. In the future, I intend to purchase more.

EASY TO LIFT AND CARRY: Comfortable triple-grip hand holds are standard on all plates over 5lbs for easy handling, loading and unloading. The recessed center reduces the risk of pinched fingers when you load the bar. More grip options make these great for plate-bearing exercises too. Add weight to your situps, low back extensions, overhead tricep work, you name it.

Our garage gym is a terrific addition thanks to the plates! The simplicity of handling them is one of the first things I'm enjoying. The tri-grip handholds serve as excellent handles for dealing with the plates without a barbell and make it incredibly simple to add and remove weight from the bar. Additionally, the grip on the plates is excellent and doesn't leave any black residue on my hands or the barbell. I previously owned other plates that were awkward to hold, but now I've discovered plates free of the unpleasant rubber scent. These Rep plates are ideal because the previous plates we attempted in our garage gym were a little too overwhelming for us. I think these plates are among of the nicest I've ever seen, and I wholeheartedly endorse them!

I ordered a pair of red 45 lb bumper plates last week, and they just got here. Overall, I'm quite pleased with the plates' craftsmanship and style. I am aware that there are a number of alternative Olympic bumper plate manufacturers available on the market that are somewhat more expensive and may be of a superior standard for professional athletes. Regardless, these plates are cost-effective, do the job for me, and are usable in any setting, whether it be business-related or not. The only drawback worth mentioning is that occasionally, freshly painted X Training plates that I've ordered show up at my door. My home gym is situated in an open, well-ventilated garage, so the paint smell is not as overwhelming as it might be in a confined space. If your training space is indoors or within your house, you might want to think about leaving the plates outside to dry for a few days before bringing them inside. The dishes I bought weren't all newly painted, but some of them were, it seemed. However, I couldn't be happier with the 300 pounds of bumper plates I bought from X Training Equipment via Amazon. I appreciate the color-coded plates and intend to use them well in a variety of exercises with my new Hex bar, 7-foot Olympic bar, and just acquired smith machine. These plates, in my opinion, are the best purchase you can make online for the money and would be a great addition to any gym. I heartily endorse this product!

It's a typical Olympic weight set overall. I personally think it is a terrific deal because I purchased it for a price of 214.00 when it was on sale. Having said that, the image is a touch deceiving and antiquated. The actual bar will be black; the photo portrays a chrome bar. Fair enough, the description does state that you would receive a bar with a black finish, however I believe it would assist if the image were modified to reflect this. For the price, the bar is generally a good one. Keep in mind that if you want a bar that will handle a lot of weight and endure a hammering, you will need to pay between $250 and $300 only for the bar. Due to the bar's older design, Allen bolts must be checked and tightened to keep the sleeves attached. You should also oil the bar's outside to avoid corrosion. You should occasionally lubricate the bearing on the inside of the sleeves to protect it from grinding. The bar won't survive very long if you don't keep it up. The weights that come with the set are not as well-made as the previous cap weight sets from the 1990s and have paint and shape inconsistencies. Considering that they are weights, I don't really care what color or style they are. You shouldn't purchase this set if you're the kind of person who is more concerned with how the weights look than with how well you can lift them. You will need to spend between $70.00 and $130.00 for a single 45 pound plate to obtain steel or bumper plates that look really beautiful. Overall, it's a decent collection given the price. You cannot find a better set for the price.
No, plates do not move suddenly. The Earth's plates move at a rate of a few centimeters per year.
If you're asking how much weight is on the barbell when someone has put 3 plates on each side, the answer is 450 pounds.
Assuming you are asking how much weight is on the barbell when using 4 plates (2 on each side), the answer would be: 4 plates on each side of the barbell equals 80 pounds.
45 lbs plates are about 2 inches thick.
A 25-pound plate is about an inch thick.
Yes, it is perfectly fine to deadlift with iron plates. In fact, many people prefer to deadlift with iron plates because they are more durable and they don't slide around as much as other types of plates.
