ATX® Olympic 5kg Calibrated Steel Plate

As the name suggests the ATX® Calibrated Steel Plates have been manufactured out of solid steel (cast steel). Steel does an excellent job when it comes to withstanding sudden impacts without breaking, bending or deforming. Which gives it a significant advantage over the industry standard Cast Iron weight plates which are rather brittle.

The Cast Steel plates are ideal for any Elite Powerlifting and Strength training facility where the users will either be smashing the plates around or attempt to perform Olympic Lifts. In saying that, we would not recommend splashing your money on these plates for your home gym unless you are planning on preparing for competitions.

Powerlifters have always been trying to add that little bit of extra weight to their totals. It is only fair that the equipment they are using can measure that weight accurately.

The ATX® Calibrated Steel plates have been hand calibrated to a minuscule 0.05% of nominated weight. For example 15kg, 20 kg and 25 kg weight plates have a weight deviation of only 5 grams!
