The 1RM 0.5kg Calibrated Steel Weight Plates are supplied as a pair and designed for powerlifting and strength training where small, accurate increases in barbell weight are required. Each plate weighs 0.5kg, allowing the pair to increase the total training weight by just 1kg.
This small loading increment makes the plates particularly useful for progressive strength training, where moving directly to the next conventional plate increment may add more weight than required.
Features
Each plate is manufactured from C45 carbon steel, providing greater tensile strength, making it well suited to thin calibrated plates where strength and dimensional stability are important.
Each plate is machine calibrated to within ±10g of its stated 0.5kg weight, providing accurate and consistent loading when making small increases to the barbell.
A hard chrome finish provides a durable protective surface over the C45 steel, helping resist wear and corrosion through regular handling and training. This makes the plates well suited to repeated loading and unloading in powerlifting gyms, commercial facilities and other high-use training environments.
Each plate measures 134mm in diameter and 6mm thick. The compact dimensions make the plates easy to add alongside existing weight plates when making small, precise adjustments to the training load.
The 50.5mm centre opening is designed to fit compatible 50mm Olympic sleeves, including Olympic barbells and Plate Loaded Machines. The 0.5kg plates use black weight identification and are manufactured to IPF-compliant specifications.
Training Applications
