Home lifters building out a free-weight station need plates that stay put and a bar made for arm work, and this 45 kg set delivers both with a 35 kg spread of rubber-coated Olympic plates. The tri-grip design gives three handholds for loading and carrying, while the included Olympic tri bar adds a 25 mm knurled grip purpose-built for triceps and close-grip pressing.

It suits anyone who already runs or is building a 50 mm Olympic set-up and wants targeted arm training in the mix, with a plate spread of 4 x 5 kg, 4 x 2.5 kg and 4 x 1.25 kg for fine jumps. Two spring collars lock the load in place, and the heavy-duty rubber coating protects your floor and keeps the set quiet when you put it down.

Is this tricep plate set right for you?

This tricep plate set is right for you if:

  • You want to isolate triceps and arms with a dedicated tri bar plus plates in one package
  • You load in small jumps and need pairs of 5 kg, 2.5 kg and 1.25 kg plates to progress gradually
  • You want tri-grip rubber plates with 50 mm holes that handle well for drop-free, controlled sets
  • You train at home or in a commercial gym and want a ready-to-use 45 kg set

Look at another option if:

  • You need heavier loading and want individual plates above 5 kg for compound lifts
  • You already own a full Olympic plate collection and only need the tri bar
  • You train heavy barbell work and want a full-length Olympic bar rather than a short tricep bar
  • You only lift occasionally and a lighter, smaller plate set would cover your sessions
Adela Ledvinkova, Our In-House Fitness Coach

Adela's Take

The tri-grip handles are the detail I'd flag first: those cut-outs let you carry and load the 50mm plates one-handed, which matters when you're stripping down a tri bar mid-session.

The jump from the lightest plates is 1.25kg a side, so micro-loading below that isn't possible without add-on fractionals. The spring collars are the quiet win: fast to snap on, secure through tricep extensions.

Heavy Duty Rubber-Coated Olympic Plates

Every plate in the set is finished in a thick rubber coating over a steel core, so setting them down or stacking them makes a dull thud instead of the sharp clang of bare iron.

The rubber also takes the edge off floor contact, which matters if you train on timber or in a garage gym.

  • Heavy-duty rubber coating over a steel plate
  • Integrated steel rings around the 50 mm centre hole
  • Total plate weight: 35 kg across the set
  • 12 month parts replacement warranty

What this means for you: For home lifters, the rubber keeps the noise and floor marking down without babying every rep.

Tri-Grip Design for Easy Handling

Each plate has three cut-out hand grips moulded into the face, so you can carry, load and swap plates with a secure hold instead of pinching the rim.

That grip matters most when you are moving the 5 kg plates on and off the bar between sets.

  • Tri-Grip three-handle design on every plate
  • Plate configuration: 4 x 5 kg, 4 x 2.5 kg, 4 x 1.25 kg
  • Smallest jump is 1.25 kg per plate for fine adjustments
  • Integrated steel rings reinforce the centre hole

What this means for you: The small plate increments let you add load in 2.5 kg total jumps, which keeps progression steady for lighter lifts.

50 mm Olympic Bore Fits Standard Olympic Bars

The plates use a 50 mm centre hole, so they slide onto any standard Olympic bar or the included tri bar.

That means the set works with a full rack of Olympic equipment, not just the bar in this package.

  • Plate hole diameter: 50 mm
  • Fits standard Olympic sleeves
  • 2 x spring collars included to lock plates in place
  • Loads across Olympic barbells, tri bars and dumbbell handles

What this means for you: If you already own or plan to buy an Olympic barbell, these plates drop straight on with no adapters.

Olympic Tri Bar (Tricep Bar) Included

The package includes a steel Olympic tri bar with a chrome-plated finish and knurled 25 mm handles for triceps and arm work.

The neutral-grip handles sit your wrists in a more natural line than a straight bar for close-grip pressing and extensions.

  • Steel core with chrome plating
  • Knurled grip, 25 mm diameter
  • Loadable sleeve length: 16 cm each side
  • Bar max holding length: 84.5 cm

What this means for you: In my experience coaching arm days, a neutral-grip tri bar is the one piece people reach for once they have it.

45 kg Complete Ready-to-Load Set

This is a full starter package: 35 kg of tri-grip plates, the Olympic tri bar and two spring collars, all in one box.

You get the bar, the plates and the collars together, so there is nothing else to source before your first session.

  • Total set weight: 45 kg
  • 35 kg of plates plus the tri bar and 2 spring collars
  • Rated for gym, commercial and home use
  • 12 month parts replacement warranty

What this means for you: Best for a lifter building an arm and accessory setup from scratch who wants the bar, plates and collars matched out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in this Cortex 45kg plate set?

You get 35 kg of tri-grip rubber plates: four 5 kg, four 2.5 kg and four 1.25 kg, all with a 50 mm hole. The set also includes an Olympic Tri Bar (tricep bar) with a knurled 25 mm grip, plus two spring collars to lock the plates in place. Total package weight is 45 kg.

Will these plates fit my Olympic barbell?

Yes. The plates have a 50 mm centre hole, so they fit any standard Olympic bar or sleeve. The included Tri Bar uses the same 50 mm loadable sleeves, with 16 cm of loading length per side. If your existing bar is Olympic-spec, these drop straight on. For a 25 mm standard bar, they won't fit.

What can I actually train with the included Tri Bar?

The Tri Bar shines for isolation work: close-grip triceps extensions, skull crushers, hammer curls and rows where a neutral grip feels kinder on the wrists. The knurled 25 mm handles give solid control. With 35 kg of plates you have plenty of range to progress most accessory lifts at home.

How durable is the rubber tri-grip design?

The heavy duty rubber coating takes knocks and protects your floor, while the integrated steel rings around the centre hole stop the collar from wearing the plate out. The tri-grip cut-outs make loading, unloading and carrying far easier than flat plates. Cortex backs the set with a 12 month parts replacement warranty.

How is this set delivered and what should I check on arrival?

It ships Australia-wide by freight. Weight plates travel well, but open the box on delivery day and count the plates against the configuration: four 5 kg, four 2.5 kg, four 1.25 kg, the Tri Bar and two spring collars. Keep the packaging until you've checked everything.

What happens if a plate or the bar arrives damaged or missing?

Take photos before unpacking and email support@cardioonline.com.au within 48 hours of delivery. We'll lodge the freight claim, organise a replacement part or unit, and stay across it until your set is complete. You don't chase the courier or the manufacturer yourself; that's our job to sort out for you.

How much space does the set need to store?

Not much. The tri-grip cut-outs make the plates easy to rack or stack in a corner, and the Tri Bar is a short bar that slots into most bar holders or leans neatly against a wall. A small rack or a rubber mat in a corner is enough for the whole 45 kg set.

Can I return it if I change my mind?

If this product page shows the 100 Day Money Back Guarantee badge, yes. You have 100 days from purchase to return it as-new in the original packaging with all plates, the bar and collars included. No restocking fee. We organise the return freight and you cover that cost; the product price and original delivery fee are refunded.
