50mm Standard IWF Olympic Hole

• Precise 50mm hole: compatible with standard IWF Olympic barbells

Who This Plate Is Ideal For

✓ Ideal for:

• Powerlifting warm-up: 20kg barbell + pair of 5kg = 30kg general warm-up
• Absolute beginners for learning squat/deadlift technique with minimum load
• Beginner women for work sets of 30-50kg total
• Crossfit technique: cleans, snatches, thrusters with light load for high repetitions
• Olympic weightlifting: technique movements with controlled drop
• Completing sets: essential for full 5-25kg coverage with 5kg increments
• Home gyms with delicate floors (parquet, laminate, tiles)
• Gradual progression: pair of 5kg = +10kg barbell (basic step)

✗ Not suitable for:

• Standard barbells with 25mm hole (requires a 25mm hole cast iron plate)
• Those looking for a complete set (this is a single plate, buy a pair or a set)
• Advanced athletes for heavy work sets (requires 15-25kg plates)
• Limited budget (bumper plates cost +40% vs cast iron plates, but protect floors)

Warm-up Technique for Beginners Applications

Powerlifting warm-up:

• Set 1: 20kg empty barbell x 10 repetitions (joint mobility)

Beginner women's squat:

• Weeks 1-4: 15kg barbell + pair of 5kg = 25kg (technique learning)
• Weeks 5-8: 25kg + pair of 5kg = 35kg (movement consolidation)
• Weeks 9-12: 35kg + pair of 5kg = 45kg (strength progression)

Crossfit WOD technique:

• Clean & jerk: 30-40kg for high repetitions (15-20 reps) with controlled drop
• Snatch technique: 25-35kg for learning overhead movement
• Thruster: 30kg for AMRAP (as many reps as possible) without excessive fatigue

Load Progression with 5kg Plates
