Weight plates 30 and 50 mm

When purchasing weight plates, there are different variants that differ in material, diameter, grip options and use:

Cast iron weight plates

These classic weight plates are made of solid cast iron and are particularly durable. They are usually more compact than other types, making them ideal for exercises where space is limited. Their high density allows for space-saving weight distribution. They are the first choice for many experienced strength athletes and are often used in professional gyms. However, cast iron weight plates are not floor-friendly, which is why they are best used on a stable surface or floor protection mat . If an old-school feel is a priority for you and the noise level is acceptable, cast iron weight plates are just right for you! We recommend the weight plates with 3 handles - ATX® Weight Plates 3-Grip Cast 50 mm .

Rubberized weight plates

These models feature a steel core with a rubber coating. This combination protects the floor and reduces noise. This makes them particularly suitable for home gyms or fitness studios where noise reduction is a priority. Rubberized weight plates are available in a variety of colors and are often color-coded for quick weight identification. They also offer a more comfortable grip and minimize the risk of scratches on floors or other surfaces. We recommend the ATX® Color Stripes Gripper Plates 50 mm - 5 to 25 kg . A feel like no other, a must-have for anyone who values ​​quality!

Bumper Plates

These special weight plates are made of solid rubber and are designed for Olympic weightlifting, CrossFit, or functional training. They feature shock-absorbing properties and are engineered to withstand drops from great heights without damaging the floor or the plates themselves. Their standardized size ensures a consistent barbell height regardless of weight, allowing for safe technique training. High-quality bumper plates are made of dense rubber with reinforced stainless steel rings in the center to ensure durability and stable barbell support. Discover our bumper plates !

Polyurethane weight plates

These high-quality weight plates consist of a solid core covered with a durable polyurethane coating . Polyurethane is particularly resistant to abrasion, cracking, and discoloration, ensuring these weight plates have an extremely long service life. They are also virtually odorless and shock-resistant, making them ideal for intensive studio use. Due to their robust properties, polyurethane weight plates are frequently used in professional gyms, competitive sports centers, and premium home gyms. They are available in a variety of colors and often feature clear weight markings for quick identification. We recommend the ATX® Polyurethane 4-Grip Weight Plates 50 mm - 1.25 to 25 kg !

How do I choose the right weight plates?

When purchasing weight plates, the following criteria should be considered:

I. Hole diameter: Standard weight plates have a 30 mm hole diameter, while Olympic weight plates have a 50 mm diameter . The latter are suitable for professional weightlifters and offer a more stable barbell mount.

II. Weight classes: Weight plates are available in various weight classes – from 0.25 kg to 25 kg. A fine weight gradient is essential for steadily increasing the training load. The more weight you use, the greater the muscle growth.

III. Material selection: While cast iron is particularly robust and durable, rubberized discs offer better protection for the floor and equipment. Polyurethane discs are virtually odorless, offer a great feel, and are extremely durable.

IV. Area of ​​application: Depending on the training goal and environment (home gym or professional studio), a certain type of weight plates may be more suitable.

V. Ergonomics: Models with handles offer additional comfort and more training options.
