Description

  • Set Configuration: Sold in pairs and various sets. We will link to the main product page on Amazon.
  • Plate Type: Rubber Coated Cast Iron, 2″ Olympic.
  • Key Features: Durable rubber coating to protect floors and reduce noise, steel inserts allow for much smoother sliding across the barbell sleeve, tri-grip handles for easy and safe handling.
  • HGM take: For the majority of home gym owners, rubber-coated weight plates like these from Yes4All are the perfect middle ground, most closely recreating the commercial gym experience, at consumer prices. They offer the durability of cast iron but are much quieter and gentler on your floors, making them ideal for a garage or basement setting. The grip handles and the steel inserts are critical features, making them safer and easier to load/slide onto/along a bar, or use for individual exercises. They are also the perfect pairing for loadable dumbbell handles, where bumper plates can be too thick.

Weight plates are by far the easiest category to screw up and blow your budget.  Check out our Weight Plate guide to avoid the common pitfalls.
