Frequently Asked Questions

What are the technique plates?

Technique plates are lightweight, full-sized Olympic weight plates designed to help beginners practise and develop proper lifting technique. Made from hollow plastic and often air-filled, they mimic the size and feel of standard plates but weigh significantly less, making it easier and safer to learn Olympic lifts.

What is the difference between Bumper Plates and Technique Plates?

Technique plates, also known as training or practice plates, are lighter-weight bumper plates designed to help beginners and athletes perfect their lifting form. They typically come in smaller increments, allowing for precise weight adjustments during training sessions.

Can technique plates be used for regular strength training?

Technique plates are mainly designed for skill development and technique practice, not for heavy strength training or dropping.

Are technique plates compatible with standard Olympic bars?

Yes, technique plates have the standard 450mm diameter and fit all Olympic bars with 50mm sleeves.
