With two 5kg units, the Generic 5kg Cast Iron Weight Plate Set totals 10kg. These barbell plates utilize a 28-31 mm hole diameter for standard dumbbell weights. Solid iron construction facilitates progressive overload without the bulk of cement-filled options.
Key Features
- Solid Cast Iron Build: 10kg total mass across two 5kg units. High-density iron won't crack or leak like sand-filled PVC alternatives.
- Anti-Rust Black Coating: Powder-coated surface finish over the metal. This layer blocks humidity from corroding the raw iron core.
- Ribbed Edge: Raised outer rim for manual handling. A textured grip reduces the risk of accidental drops during resistance training.
