A complete graded tri-grip set covering change plates through to 20kg. Every plate carries three moulded handles, so loading a bar, carrying plates across a garage and using them as standalone implements are all straightforward and safe.
KEY FEATURES
- Graded set spanning 1.25kg to 20kg pairs
- Three moulded handles on every plate for safe handling
- Cast iron core with a bonded rubber coating
- Olympic 2-inch bore fits all standard Olympic bars
- Includes small change plates for precise progression
- Floor-friendly and quieter than bare cast iron
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
This is the most practical plate set for a typical home gym. It covers the full increment range needed for progression, protects your floor, is quiet enough not to antagonise the household, and every single plate can be picked up one-handed without a wrestling match. For anyone loading a bar alone in a garage, that last point matters more than any specification.
The compromise is sleeve length. Rubber-coated plates are thicker per kilogram than bare iron, so at very heavy loads you will run out of usable sleeve sooner. For the majority of home lifters, whose squats and deadlifts sit comfortably under that ceiling, the trade is easily worth the handling and floor benefits.
TRAINING APPLICATION
The set covers all standard barbell work: squats, presses, rows, Romanian deadlifts and rack pulls. Separately, the handles open up a whole category of plate-only training, including plate front raises, overhead carries, halos, plate lunges and Turkish get-up variations, which is genuinely useful for conditioning finishers and travel-friendly sessions.
HOW TO CHOOSE?
Choose the tri-grip pro set if you want one purchase that handles barbell training, plate-based conditioning and safe solo loading. Choose the cast iron pro set if maximum weight per pound and per sleeve is the priority. Choose bumpers if you drop the bar. Pair any set with a weight tree so plates are stored vertically and stay in matched pairs.
FAQs
What is the weight range of the set?
The set spans 1.25kg through to 20kg pairs. Exact composition is shown in the variant options on the page.
Can I add heavier plates later?
Yes. Any Olympic-bore plate will fit, so 25kg pairs can be added as your lifts progress.
Are these suitable for CrossFit?
For barbell work in a rack, yes. For dropping the bar from overhead, no. Use bumper plates for Olympic lifting.
Do the handles make them safer?
Considerably. Loading a bar at rack height one-handed, or carrying plates across a room, is far safer with three grip points than with a smooth disc.
