Frequently Asked Questions

Are these 1kg Olympic weight plates sold individually or as a pair?
These 1kg Olympic weight plates are sold as a pair, so you’ll receive two 1kg plates with your purchase.

Will these 1kg weight plates fit my Olympic barbell?
Yes. These 1kg Olympic weight plates feature a 50.4mm centre hole, making them compatible with all standard 50mm Olympic barbells and Olympic weight plate storage systems.

What are 1kg Olympic weight plates used for?
These 1kg Olympic weight plates are designed for micro-loading, allowing you to make small weight increases for steady strength gains. They’re ideal for bench press, squat, deadlift, overhead press, Olympic lifting, and progressive overload.

What is micro-loading in strength training?
Micro-loading is the practice of increasing the weight by small increments rather than making large jumps. Using 1kg Olympic weight plates helps you continue progressing when larger weight increases become too challenging.

Are these Olympic weight plates suitable for home gyms?
Absolutely. These rubber-coated Olympic weight plates are perfect for home gyms, garage gyms, PT studios, schools, and commercial fitness facilities thanks to their durable construction and floor-friendly design.

Why are these Olympic weight plates colour-coded?
Colour-coded Olympic weight plates make it easy to identify weights quickly, helping you change plates faster and keep your training sessions efficient.

What are the benefits of a rubber-coated Olympic weight plate?
The competition-grade rubber coating helps reduce noise, protects your flooring and equipment, improves durability, and provides a secure, non-slip finish.

Can these Olympic weight plates be dropped?
