Body Solid Rubber Grip Olympic Set Features and Specifications

These plates have heavy rubber coating, and personally, that is "a must-have" today for both home and commercial gyms. It will prevent plates from rusting and decrease the possibility of scuffing, chipping, or damaging the plates or the rest of the equipment or even floors and walls.

Of course, be sure to have proper weight rack and rubber floor mats.

As usual, these plates often have some grease on their surfaces and can be quite smelly.

When the plates arrive, clean them thoroughly with some mild cleaning soap or something similar to remove the grease, and the smell will be gone rather soon, even if you have a home gym in the basement.

Long story short: the plates are well-balanced with good rubber protection. They are easily put on and off the bar - handling is very easy. There are cheaper weight plates on the market, but these plates are a great investment in the long run.
