Weight plates Rebel Active bituminous 2×7.5 kg with 51 mm center hole for Olympic barbells

Rebel Active bituminous weight plates, two units of 7.5 kg each with a 51 mm centre hole, are designed for use with Olympic barbells. The plates feature a bituminous coating that offers basic protection against corrosion and reduces noise during handling compared to bare metal discs. This set is intended for strength training and barbell workouts at home or in commercial gyms where moderate additional load is required.

Advantages

The bituminous surface provides a protective layer that helps prevent rust and minimizes scratching on the plates and other equipment. With the standard 51 mm centre hole, these plates fit Olympic bars and collars securely. The pair format ensures balanced loading and easy storage, while the compact 7.5 kg weight per plate allows for precise incremental increases in training load.

Suitable for

• General strength training with Olympic barbells
• Barbell sets for home gyms and commercial fitness centres
• Progressive overload where medium-weight increments are needed
• Exercises such as squats, deadlifts, bench press and overhead press

Key specifications

• Weight per plate: 7.5 kg
• Quantity in set: 2 plates
• Centre hole diameter: 51 mm (suitable for Olympic barbells)
• Surface finish: bituminous coating for basic corrosion protection and noise reduction
• Intended use: free-weight strength training

How to use

Slide the plates onto an Olympic barbell using the 51 mm centre hole, ensuring even distribution on both sides for balanced loading. Secure the plates with appropriate collars or clips before performing lifts. Use the plates for standard barbell exercises, adjusting the number of plates to achieve the desired total load. Inspect the plates periodically for wear on the bituminous coating and clean off debris or sweat after use to prolong service life.

Usage recommendations

For safe training, combine these plates with compatible Olympic collars and a barbell rated for the intended total load. Store plates on a suitable rack to avoid prolonged contact with damp surfaces and to reduce risk of surface damage. If the bituminous coating shows significant wear, consider recoating or replacing the plates to maintain protection and noise-dampening properties.
