American Barbell Machined Olympic Iron Plate (25 lb, Pair)

Overview

Not every lift needs a bumper, and for benching, pressing, and rack work a good iron plate loads tighter and costs less. American Barbell's machined Olympic iron plate is built for exactly that role. Each 25-pound disc is cast and then machined flat on both faces, which keeps loaded plates from rocking and gives the stack a tight, rattle-free fit, a step up from the rough as-cast plates common at this price. The 2-inch Olympic hole is bored to a snug tolerance so the plate slides on cleanly without slop against the bar. A durable e-coat finish resists the rust and chipping that plague bare-iron plates exposed to sweat and humidity, and it gives the plate a clean satin black look. Raised numbering is cast into the rim for clear identification. Because these are iron, they are meant for controlled lifting rather than dropping. American Barbell holds the weight tolerance tighter than typical hardware-store plates. For a lifter building out a bench and press setup, this machined iron plate is an accurate, durable, and economical foundation.
