If you're setting up a home or studio gym and want one kit that covers barbell, EZ-curl and dumbbell work, this 90kg CORTEX set gives you a 180cm standard barbell, an EZ curl bar and a dumbbell pair in one go. The PVC-coated EnduraCast plates total 75kg, 4 each of 1.25kg, 2.5kg, 5kg and 10kg, with the bars and handles making up the 90kg set weight, so you can load light for curls or stack up for compound lifts.
It suits a lifter who wants free-weight variety without buying three separate sets, and the included weight tree stand keeps all the plates off the floor and sorted by size. Eight spiral spin collars are included, so every bar and handle locks down securely between sets.
What stands out is the cement fill wrapped in PVC EnduraCast: quiet to load, kind on floors, and 75kg of plates from 1.25 to 10kg covers most home lifters.
Cement plates run bulkier than iron, so heavy barbell loading eats bar sleeve fast. The weight tree is the detail I'd flag: plates stay off the floor and sorted.

You get 75kg of plates across four sizes (a 90kg set weight with the bars and handles), so you can build a bar up in small steps and progress session to session.
The spread covers light accessory work and heavier compound lifts from the same set.
What this means for you: The 1.25kg plates matter most here: they let you add weight in small enough steps to keep progressing without stalling.
The plates are cement-filled with a PVC coating, which keeps the surface sealed and quieter on contact than bare metal.
The coating also keeps your hands and floor cleaner between sets.
What this means for you: Cement-filled plates read larger than iron of the same weight, so leave room on the bar and tree for the bigger discs.
Three bar types come in the box, so you can train big compound lifts, curls and single-arm work without buying hardware separately.
That covers most of a full-body routine from one set.
What this means for you: The EZ bar is the one I'd point first-timers to for curls and skull crushers: the angled grip keeps the wrists in a more natural position.
A weight tree is included, so every plate has a home off the floor and your training space stays clear.
Loading and unloading the bar is quicker when the plates sit at waist height on pegs.
What this means for you: In a shared garage or studio, a tree is the difference between plates you grab in seconds and plates you trip over.
Eight spiral spin collars are included, enough to lock plates on both ends of every bar at once.
Spin collars thread on quickly and hold plates firm through a full set.
What this means for you: Having eight means you never have to swap collars between bars mid-session, which keeps the pace of a workout moving.
The dumbbell handles come with ergonomic rubber grips, so single-arm and accessory work stays comfortable as the reps add up.
A rubber grip gives more traction than bare steel once your hands get sweaty.
What this means for you: For high-rep accessory sets like lateral raises or lunges, a grippy handle is what saves your forearms from doing extra work.

It ships in several cartons: the 6ft barbell, EZ curl bar, dumbbell handles, the full plate breakdown (4 each of 1.25kg, 2.5kg, 5kg and 10kg), spin collars and the weight tree. We deliver Australia-wide through a network of over 190 depots and keep you updated from dispatch to arrival. All up it's about 103kg with packaging, so clear a spot near your door for the cartons.
Take photos before unpacking and email support@cardioonline.com.au within 48 hours of delivery. We'll lodge the freight claim and organise replacement plates, a bar or the missing part, and stay on it until your set is complete. You won't deal with the courier or the manufacturer directly, that's our job.
The bars, plates and handles need no assembly. The weight tree goes together first, then you load the plates onto its posts and you're ready to load the bars. Loading a bar is quick: slide plates on, then lock each side with the spiral spin collars. One person can manage it, taking the heavier plates one at a time.
Yes, if your bar takes 25mm (one inch) standard sleeves. Every plate here has a 25mm hole and the included 6ft bar, EZ curl bar and dumbbell handles all share that standard sizing. They won't fit an Olympic 50mm bar, so check your existing bar's sleeve diameter before mixing with other gear.
The tree keeps a compact footprint, so it tucks into a garage corner or spare room without dominating the space. It holds the plates off the floor on its posts, which keeps your area tidy and saves your back bending to pick plates up between sets.
It suits home and studio lifters building a base: beginners through to steady intermediate trainers who want one kit covering barbell, EZ curl and dumbbell work. The 75kg of plates, four of each size down to 1.25kg, lets you make small jumps. Serious strength lifters chasing heavier loads will eventually outgrow a cement-filled standard set.
PVC-coated EnduraCast plates are cement-filled, which keeps them affordable and quiet to handle, with a coating that spares your floor from bare metal scrapes. The trade-off: cement plates are physically bulkier than iron for the same weight, so a 10kg plate takes up more sleeve room. Fine for general training, worth knowing before you load up.
