IVANKO CBPP Painted Powerlifting Plate [Φ50mm] [0.5kg/25kg]

Features: 0.3% Weight Accuracy. In a sport where differences of just a few hundred grams matter, plate weight accuracy is crucial. IVANKO CBPP painted powerlifting plates achieve a weight error of less than 0.3%. For example, a 20kg plate achieves an accuracy of less than 60g. The secret lies in the weight fine-tuning mechanism in two places. No matter how carefully crafted the iron weight alone, it's impossible to maintain such weight accuracy. Therefore, pockets are created in the plates, and weights are inserted into them, allowing for manual adjustments. (See the weight fine-tuning mechanism in the second image.) Thin Plates for Multiple Use. In powerlifting, where athletes compete to lift the heaviest weights in three events, top athletes often use a considerable number of plates on their barbells. Thick plates may not fit into the barbell sleeves. IVANKO painted powerlifting plates are incredibly thin, measuring just 20.5mm thick even at 20kg. Shatter-Resistant Material: The impact of a falling barbell puts a significant strain on the plates, the longer they are used. Therefore, IVANKO Calibration Paint Plates for competitions are made from a high-strength material called ductile cast iron, rather than standard cast iron. Compared to standard cast iron, this material is more shatter-resistant at the molecular level, making it ideal for those who continue to participate in tough sports like powerlifting.
