Designed with a 31 mm central hole, they are compatible with standard bars, ensuring a secure fit for various lifting exercises.

Advantages

This weight set offers an excellent balance of durability and affordability for fitness enthusiasts. The bituminous construction is designed to withstand regular use while remaining gentle on flooring surfaces compared to traditional cast iron plates. Their compact design allows for easy storage and handling, making them an ideal choice for users looking to manage space efficiently. By providing four individual 5 kg plates, the set allows for precise incremental loading, which is essential for progressive overload and consistent strength gains.

Suitable for

• Strength training and bodybuilding
• Progressive resistance workouts
• Home gym setups
• Gym facilities requiring standard 31 mm equipment

When it may not be suitable

These plates are not intended for heavy-duty powerlifting or Olympic weightlifting where plates are frequently dropped from significant heights. Bituminous material is less impact-resistant than rubber-coated or solid steel alternatives and may sustain damage under extreme conditions.

Key specifications

• Total weight: 20 kg (4 x 5 kg)
• Hole diameter: 31 mm
• Material: Bituminous compound
• Compatibility: Standard 31 mm bars

How to use

To use the Rebel weight plates, slide the desired number of plates onto your standard 31 mm barbell or dumbbell handle. Ensure that the plates are pushed firmly against the collar of the bar. Always secure the plates using appropriate spring collars or locking mechanisms to prevent them from sliding during movement. Distribute the weight evenly on both sides of the bar to maintain balance and safety during your exercises.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing bar has a 31 mm diameter
• Ensure the total weight capacity of your bar is not exceeded
• Consider the storage space available for the plates

Usage recommendations

Always inspect the plates for any signs of wear or cracks before starting your workout. Store the plates in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the bituminous material over time.
