York ISO-GRIP

The ISO-Grip design features cutouts in the plates that make them significantly easier to pick up, carry, and load onto the bar compared to traditional smooth-sided cast iron plates. This design improves safety and convenience, especially when you are changing weights between sets.

Yes, the revolving sleeves are essential for Olympic-style lifts. They allow the plates to rotate independently of the bar, which reduces the torque transferred to your wrists and forearms during movements like cleans or snatches.

Yes, the plates feature a standard 2-inch hole diameter, making them compatible with any standard Olympic barbell. You can easily mix and match these plates with other equipment you may already own.

This set includes a total of 300 pounds of weight, which is the standard configuration for most Olympic weight sets. It provides a comprehensive range of increments from 2.5 lbs up to 45 lbs, allowing for precise weight adjustments as you progress.

The plates are constructed from durable cast iron, which is built to withstand years of heavy use. While cast iron is robust, it is best to use them on a rubber gym mat to protect both the plates and your flooring from impact.
