Lifters building out a home setup who want to dial in exact loads need small increments, and this 35 kg set delivers them with four each of 5 kg, 2.5 kg and 1.25 kg tri-grip plates. The rubber coating and integrated steel rings let you load, unload and stack them without the clang of bare iron.

It suits anyone adding micro-progression to an existing Olympic bar, since the 50 mm hole fits any Olympic sleeve and the tri-grip shape makes carrying each plate one-handed easy.

Is this olympic plate set right for you?

This olympic plate set is right for you if:

  • You load an Olympic bar with 50 mm sleeves and want tri-grip plates that are easy to carry and swap
  • You train at home, in a commercial gym, or anywhere you need durable rubber-coated plates
  • You want smaller increments (1.25 kg, 2.5 kg and 5 kg) to fine-tune progressive overload
  • You already have a bar and heavier plates and need this 35 kg set to fill out the lighter end

Look at another option if:

  • You lift heavy and need bigger single plates like 10 kg, 15 kg or 20 kg, look at a larger plate set
  • You own a standard 25 mm bar rather than a 50 mm Olympic sleeve
  • You train Olympic lifts and want dedicated bumper plates built for repeated dropping from overhead
  • You only need one or two plates to top up an existing set rather than a full 35 kg spread

Adela's Take

What makes this set genuinely useful is the micro-loading: four 1.25kg plates let you nudge a lift up in tiny steps, which is how most of my clients break through a stall.

At 35kg total with the heaviest plate at 5kg, it isn't a standalone loading set for big compounds. I'd add it to an existing Olympic set so you can fine-tune jumps precisely.

Heavy Duty Rubber Encased Plates

Each plate wears a thick rubber coating over a steel core, so setting a loaded bar down is kinder to your floor than bare iron.

The rubber also dulls the metal-on-metal clang you get from bare cast iron, which matters in a garage gym or shared space.

  • Heavy duty rubber over a steel core
  • Integrated steel rings at the bar hole for a tight, durable fit
  • Rated for home, gym and commercial use
  • 12 Months parts replacement warranty

What this means for you: If you train on a hard floor or lift where noise is a concern, the rubber shell earns its place.

Olympic Tri-Grip Design for Easy Loading

Three cut-out grips let you carry, load and strip plates one-handed without fighting a flat disc.

When I'm coaching people through quick weight changes between sets, tri-grip plates make the whole thing faster and safer to handle.

  • Olympic Tri-Grip profile with three handling cut-outs
  • Integrated steel rings reinforce the centre hole
  • Easier to carry and load than flat plates

What this means for you: The grips turn loading the bar from a two-handed wrestle into a quick one-handed job.

50 mm Hole Fits Any Olympic Bar

The 50 mm centre hole slides onto any standard Olympic bar sleeve, so these plates work with the bar you already own or plan to buy.

  • Plate hole size: 50 mm
  • Fits any Olympic sized bar sleeve
  • Steel rings line the hole for a snug, rattle-free fit

What this means for you: No adaptors, no guesswork: if your bar sleeve is 50 mm, these plates fit.

35 kg Set, What You Get in the Box

This is a 35 kg set made up of 12 plates across three sizes, which covers the small jumps most lifters need for progression.

The smaller 1.25 kg and 2.5 kg plates let you add weight in micro-steps, handy when a full 5 kg jump stalls your lift.

  • Total weight: 35 kg
  • 4 x 5 kg plates
  • 4 x 2.5 kg plates
  • 4 x 1.25 kg plates

What this means for you: Best for: building out a starter set or adding fine increments to plates you already have.

Frequently Asked Questions

What plates are included in the 35kg set?

You get 4 x 5 kg, 4 x 2.5 kg and 4 x 1.25 kg, adding up to 35 kg total. That spread is handy for fine-tuning your loads, especially the four 1.25 kg plates for small jumps on pressing lifts. It's a solid starter spread or a top-up set to fill the gaps in your existing collection.

Will these plates fit my barbell?

Yes, as long as it's an Olympic bar. The 50 mm plate hole suits any Olympic sized bar sleeve, which is the standard for full-length 20 kg bars and most Olympic dumbbell handles. If your bar has a thinner 25 mm or 28 mm sleeve, it's a standard bar and these won't fit.

What does the tri-grip design actually do?

The three cut-out grips make the plates far easier to carry and load, one-handed if you need to. The integrated steel rings around the centre hole stop the collar hole wearing out and keep the plate sitting true on the sleeve. The rubber coating protects your floor and bar from scuffs during loading.

Can I drop these plates like bumper plates?

No. These are rubber-coated steel plates, not bumper plates, so they're built for controlled lifting and loading rather than repeated dropping from overhead. For Olympic lifts where you drop the bar, use dedicated bumper plates. For squats, presses, rows and deadlifts set down under control, these do the job well.

Can I add more plates to this set later?

Absolutely. Because they fit any Olympic sized bar sleeve, you can stack this set alongside heavier plates as you progress. Many people start here, then add 10 kg, 15 kg or 20 kg plates as their lifts climb. The four small 1.25 kg plates stay useful no matter how heavy you get, for micro-loading.

How is the set delivered and does it need assembly?

The plates ship as a boxed set via Australia-wide freight with live tracking, so you'll know when to expect them. There's no assembly at all, just unbox and load them onto your bar. Plates are heavy for their size, so keep the box close to your rack and lift them out carefully.

What happens if a plate arrives damaged?

Take photos before and during unboxing and send them to support@cardioonline.com.au within 48 hours of delivery. We'll organise a replacement and stay across it until you're sorted. You won't deal with the courier or manufacturer directly, that's our job. The set also carries a 12 month parts replacement warranty.

Can I return these if I change my mind?

Return shipping is paid by you, and we can book it for you. Faulty-goods rights under Australian Consumer Law always apply.
