Olympic Discs

Explore Our Extensive Range of Olympic Weights

Welcome to our collection of Olympic weights where quality meets performance. Whether you're setting up a home gym or equipping a professional fitness centre, our selection of weight discs and disc weights will cater to all your fitness needs.

Why Choose Olympic Weights?

Olympic weights are standardised for consistent performance and durability. Designed for serious weightlifting, these Olympic discs are compatible with Olympic-sized bars, which are thicker and more robust than standard bars. This ensures a secure fit and safer lifting experience.

What Are Olympic Bumper Plates?

Olympic bumper plates are made from high-density rubber, allowing them to be dropped from a height without causing damage to floors or the weights themselves. They are perfect for Olympic lifts and high-intensity training regimes where dropping weights is common.

Understanding Olympic Sized Weight Plates

Olympic sized weight plates have a 2-inch (50mm) diameter hole in the centre, designed to fit Olympic barbells. This standardisation allows for easy interchangeability and upgrading of your weightlifting equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Olympic Weights

What is the difference between standard and Olympic weight plates?

Standard weight plates have a 1-inch diameter hole and are typically used for casual weightlifting and home gyms. In contrast, Olympic weight plates, with a 2-inch diameter hole, are used for more serious strength training and competitive lifting due to their stability and durability.

Are Olympic weights worth it?

Yes, Olympic weights are worth the investment if you're serious about weightlifting. They offer better durability, increased versatility with higher weight loads, and are essential for performing Olympic lifts safely.

Do I need special flooring for Olympic weights?

While not always necessary, it's advisable to use protective flooring or mats when using Olympic bumper plates as they are often dropped. This helps protect both your weights and your floors from damage.

Can I use Olympic plates on a standard barbell?

Technically, you can use Olympic sized weight plates on a standard barbell, but it is not recommended. The size difference in the hole means the plates will not fit securely, potentially leading to unsafe lifting conditions.
