The barbell plate seems simple, just the weight of the barbell. But when it comes to purchasing, it often feels that various sizes, shapes, materials, colors, and prices are impossible to start.
Iron plate: The material is cast iron or pure iron, and the outer layer is electroplated and painted. Not covered with soft materials such as rubber. The texture is tough, retro, and the price is low. However, the hand feel is deviated and noise is easily caused by collision. It is easy to break when dropped, and it is easy to knock the floor.
Rubber coated plate: The inner layer is mostly iron, and the outer layer is covered with rubber of varying thickness. The outer encapsulation can play the role of buffer and noise reduction. Protect the bell, the ground, and even the user’s feet.
PU plate: the inner layer of cast iron or steel plate, the outer layer is casted with PU barbell sheet. The texture of the outer layer is slightly harder than that of the film, and the abrasion resistance is good. The surface is not easy to be scratched, the appearance is high-grade, and the smell is small. It is not easy to be aging, damaged and peeled, and the service life is significantly longer than that of the film.
Weigh plate: a barbell piece used for snatch, clean and jerk and related training and competitions. There are many kinds of flange film, color film, full film and so on.
