Why choose this 5 kg powerlifting plate?
This plate has already won over the most demanding powerlifters. It's proven itself over time in a pro gym, and impressed with its resistance to absolutely anything. You can easily grasp it to adjust your bar between sets. The colour coding lets you spot the right weight in an instant. With its 5-year warranty, this plate won't even flinch at your heaviest loads. It's the best value for money on the market for chasing your personal bests.
Why is the tolerance of 0.25% so important?
All our plates are individually calibrated to the competition standard of 0.25%. The lighter sizes vary from their advertised weight by less than 10 g. This level of precision guarantees a perfectly symmetrical bar and a totally reliable weight every single time. You can plan your cycles with certainty and track each bit of progress accurately.
How long will these steel plates last?
Steel resists the compression and flexion caused by your heaviest loads remarkably well. Your plates will cope with years of intense training without losing their calibration or their shape. They'll withstand repeated contact with the floor during your deadlifts without getting damaged. Please note that they aren't designed to be repeatedly dropped from a height, as you would in weightlifting.

What can you train with these 5 kg weights?

It's perfect for warming up before attacking your training sets. It's also useful for your rows, overhead presses, and all assisted variants. You'll save time in the gym while progressing consistently.
