Does this plate withstand intensive training?
The steel structure absorbs the compression and flexion generated by your max loads remarkably well. You'll be able to string together entire squat, bench press and deadlift cycles without compromising your plates' integrity. They withstand repeated contact with the floor during deadlifts, where you rest the bar after each rep. Please note: their rigidity makes them unsuitable for violent drops from a significant height, like in weightlifting.
What can you train with these 1.25 kg weights?
This size adds 2.5 kg to your bar (two plates), which is the most common jump up in weight used in powerlifting. Perfect for all your basic movements: squats, bench presses, deadlifts. You'll get stronger week by week with jumps in load that are neither too timid nor overly optimistic.
