help Ivanko COT Chrome Olympic Plates FAQ

Can Ivanko COT Chrome Olympic Plates be dropped during lifts?

No, Ivanko COT Chrome plates are solid cast iron with a chromium plating and will crack or break if dropped. They are strictly for controlled strength movements such as squats, bench press, deadlifts, and rows, not for Olympic weightlifting.

What does the chrome coating on Ivanko COT plates do?

The chromium over-coat on Ivanko COT plates provides corrosion resistance and a hard, smooth surface that prevents the chipping and flaking common with painted cast iron plates. It also gives the plates their distinctive mirror-like silver appearance.

Do Ivanko COT Chrome Olympic Plates have grip holes for easy handling?

Yes, Ivanko COT Chrome plates feature multiple perimeter grip holes that make loading, unloading, and carrying individual plates much easier. The grip-hole design is one of Ivanko's signature plate features across several of their product lines.

How do Ivanko COT Chrome plates compare to rubber-coated plates for home gym use?

Ivanko COT Chrome plates will not protect gym floors or reduce noise the way rubber-coated plates do, since the chrome-on-iron surface is hard and unforgiving. However, they are more compact for their weight, extremely durable, and will not develop the rubber odor or surface degradation that rubber plates can over time.
