help Ivanko COT Olympic Training Plates FAQ
Are Ivanko COT plates or collars?
COT is Ivanko's designation for Olympic pressure-ring training collars, not weight plates. The COT-1.25 and COT-2.5 names refer to collars of different weights, so a listing describing them as cast-iron training plates is mislabeled.
What does the pressure ring do on an Ivanko COT collar?
The collar tightens a ring evenly around the bar sleeve instead of driving a small screw directly into it. This helps secure plates while reducing concentrated marking on an Olympic bar.
Will Ivanko COT collars fit any Olympic bar?
They are intended for Olympic sleeves around 50 mm in diameter. They will not fit one-inch standard bars, and worn or unusually sized sleeves may affect how securely the pressure ring grips.
What is the difference between COT-1.25 and COT-2.5 collars?
The model numbers distinguish the collar weights, with the COT-2.5 used when a 2.5 kg collar is required on each side. Both are training collars rather than IWF-certified competition plates.
