Lifters building a home setup for curls and accessory work will get a complete starting kit here: 35 kg of Tri-Grip rubber plates across four each of 5 kg, 2.5 kg and 1.25 kg, plus an Olympic EZ curl bar and two spring collars. The 50 mm plate holes fit standard Olympic sleeves, and the tri-grip cut-outs make the plates easy to carry and load one-handed.

It suits anyone wanting to train biceps, triceps and forearms without a full barbell, since the knurled chrome-plated EZ bar takes the strain off your wrists on curls and skullcrushers. Backed by a 12-month parts replacement warranty.

Is this olympic plate set right for you?

This olympic plate set is right for you if:

  • You're building or expanding an Olympic bar setup and need smaller incremental jumps: 1.25 kg, 2.5 kg and 5 kg plates for fine progression
  • You want an EZ curl bar included for biceps and triceps work without buying one separately
  • You train arms and accessory lifts and want rubber-encased tri-grip plates that are easy to carry and quieter to load
  • You have 50 mm Olympic sleeves and want plates that fit straight on

Look at another option if:

  • You lift heavy and need a bigger loading set, this 35 kg of plates suits lighter and accessory work
  • You only need the curl bar and already own enough plates, a standalone EZ bar makes more sense
  • You want full-size Olympic plates for heavy squats and deadlifts off the floor, a larger-diameter set is a better match
  • You're after bumper plates for Olympic lifting and dropping from height, these rubber-encased tri-grip plates aren't built for that

Adela's Take

The tri-grip handles are what sell me here: those cut-out grips let you carry a loaded 5 kg plate one-handed and load the EZ bar without fumbling, which matters mid-set.

At 35 kg of plates, this set suits curls and lighter accessory work, not heavy barbell lifts. The real win is the rubber encasing, which keeps set-downs quiet on home floors.

Rubber-Encased Tri-Grip Plates, 35 kg Total

Each plate wraps a steel core in heavy duty rubber, so plates you set down or re-rack land with a dull thud instead of a sharp metal clang. That means less floor marking and quieter sets at home.

  • Heavy duty rubber encased plates over a steel core
  • Total plate weight: 35 kg
  • 4 x 5 kg, 4 x 2.5 kg, 4 x 1.25 kg plates included (black)
  • Rubber shell cushions floor contact when you set plates down or re-rack

What this means for you: For an upstairs or garage gym, the rubber coating keeps the noise down and your floor looking tidy.

Tri-Grip Plate Design for Easy Handling

The three cut-out handles let you grip each plate with one hand, so loading and unloading the bar is straightforward even with the heavier 5 kg plates. Carrying plates across the room is far easier than wrestling a flat disc.

  • Tri-Grip plate design with three integrated handles
  • Single-hand grip on every plate size, 1.25 kg up to 5 kg
  • Integrated steel rings around the 50 mm hole for durability

What this means for you: If you train solo and change weights often, the grip handles save your fingers and your back.

50 mm Olympic Hole, Fits Standard Olympic Bars

Every plate has a 50 mm centre hole, so the set loads onto any standard Olympic bar or sleeve. The included EZ curl bar is ready to go, but the plates work across your wider Olympic set-up too.

  • Plate hole diameter: 50 mm (Olympic standard)
  • Loads onto any standard Olympic bar or machine sleeve
  • 2 x spring collars included to lock plates in place

What this means for you: Buy once and the plates keep working as your rack, bench or barbell collection grows.

Chrome Olympic EZ Curl Bar

The angled, knurled grip of the EZ curl bar sits your wrists in a more natural position for bicep curls and skull crushers, taking the strain off the forearms that a straight bar can cause. The bar has a steel core with a chrome-plated finish.

  • Olympic EZ curl bar, chrome-plated finish
  • Knurled grip for a secure hold
  • Bar grip diameter: 25 mm
  • Loadable sleeve length: 16 cm per side
  • Max holding length: 84.5 cm

What this means for you: Best for arm and accessory work where a cambered grip keeps your wrists comfortable through the full range.

Complete Package, Bar, Plates and Collars

This arrives as a full working set-up: the EZ curl bar, 12 graduated plates and two spring collars, so there is nothing else to source before your first session. The mix of plate sizes lets you fine-tune the load in small steps.

  • Total plate weight: 35 kg
  • 12 plates across three sizes for small load increments
  • 2 x spring collars included
  • Rated for gym, commercial and home use
  • 12 Months parts replacement warranty

What this means for you: For a first arm-training or accessory set-up, you can load the bar and start the day it arrives.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this plate set delivered and how is it packed?

The set ships Australia-wide by freight. Plates are heavy for their size, so plan to move the boxes in a couple of trips. On delivery day, have a clear path to where you want them and ideally a second pair of hands.

What happens if a plate arrives chipped or the bar is damaged?

Take photos before moving anything and email support@cardioonline.com.au within 48 hours of delivery. We'll lodge the freight claim, organise a replacement plate, bar or collar, and follow it through until you're sorted. You don't chase the courier or the manufacturer yourself; that's our job to handle.

Is there any assembly needed with this set?

Almost none. The plates are ready to use straight out of the box, and the Olympic EZ curl bar just needs a wipe of the chrome sleeves before first use. Slide your plates on, lock them with the two spring collars, and you're lifting. No tools, no setup time.

What does the 12-month warranty and 100-day guarantee cover?

The set carries a 12-month parts replacement warranty, so any faulty plate, bar or collar gets replaced. If the product page shows the 100 Day Money Back Guarantee badge and you change your mind, you've got 100 days from purchase to return it as-new, in the original packaging with all parts, and there's no restocking fee. We organise the return freight and you pay for it; the product price and original delivery fee are refunded.

What is the total weight and what plates do I actually get?

You get 35 kg of plates plus the EZ curl bar and two spring collars. You get 4 x 5 kg, 4 x 2.5 kg and 4 x 1.25 kg tri-grip plates, all in black. That spread lets you make small jumps, which matters for curls and pressing where adding a big plate kills your form.

Will these fit my Olympic bar and rack?

Yes. The plates have a 50 mm hole, so they suit any standard Olympic bar or sleeve. The included EZ curl bar has a 25 mm knurled grip, 16 cm loadable sleeves and an 84.5 cm max holding length, which suits most home curl and tricep work. Check your rack's sleeve diameter is 50 mm if you're loading onto an existing bar.

Who is this set best suited to?

This one suits home lifters building up isolation work: biceps, triceps, shoulders and lighter accessory lifts. The tri-grip design makes the plates easy to carry and load one-handed, and the rubber encasing means they're quieter on the floor and kinder to your flooring. Heavy compound lifters will want a straight bar and larger plates alongside it.

Why rubber-encased tri-grip plates over bare steel?

Two reasons I rate them. The rubber encasing cuts noise and protects your floor when you set the bar down, which matters in a garage or spare room. The tri-grip cut-outs give you three solid handholds, so loading, carrying and swapping plates mid-session is far less fiddly. Honestly, that handling difference is what earns its keep day to day.
