help Eleiko IWF Weightlifting Training Set FAQ
Are the Eleiko IWF Weightlifting Training Plates made of metal or rubber?
The Eleiko IWF Weightlifting Training Plates feature a precisely machined cast iron core surrounded by a heavy-duty rubber outer casing. This design allows them to safely absorb the immense impact of being dropped from overhead during Olympic weightlifting movements like the snatch.
Does this Eleiko set meet the International Weightlifting Federation's color specifications?
Yes, the plates feature the IWF-mandated color coding, where the 25kg plates are red, 20kg are blue, 15kg are yellow, and 10kg are green. This standardized color system allows athletes and judges to easily identify the exact weight loaded on the barbell from a distance.
What is the exact diameter of the largest Eleiko IWF training plates?
The largest plates in the set, typically the 25kg and 20kg bumpers, have a standard Olympic diameter of 450mm. This ensures that when the barbell is loaded, it sits at the correct official height off the floor for standardized competition lifting.
Does the friction-based mechanism on Eleiko plates damage the barbell?
No, Eleiko designs their plates with a secure friction-based release mechanism meant to grip the bar sleeve tightly without causing permanent metal damage. The precision machining ensures the plates stay firmly in place during heavy lifts while still allowing for smooth loading and unloading.
