Weight Plates

Why would you need Weight Plates?

I’m not a huge fan of lifting weights, but I love to add resistance, progressively, for my pull-up bar workouts. On top of that, I love training with dumbbells, in cross-fit like circuits that I personally design. And the best thing about training with resistance is that I can measure my progress, and push the envelope slightly further with each and every session. All of this, of course, is thanks to using plates.

Depending on what you would like to practice, you’ll need different weights. The bench press would require a heavy load, and this usually means buying in bulk. The reassuring thing, however, is that you can build your set of plates from the ground up, and buy more as you become stronger.

And when it comes to buying plates, do remember to always purchase the small numbers, and even consider fractional plates. These will help you push harder and improve inch by inch – the best way to accelerate progress.

You’ll find plates with different coloring, which is very helpful when loading up the bar; and there are also grip plate design weights for performing a number of creative moves.
