Weight Plates

A weight plate is a flat, heavy object, usually made of cast iron, that is used in combination with barbells or dumbbells to produce a bar with a desired total weight for the purpose of physical exercise. Weight plates are usually made of one of four different materials; iron, steel, plastic and sand, and rubber. The material you choose depends on your lifting space. If your lifting space has a wooden floor then you should buy either rubber plates, or iron or steel plates coated in urethane.
