If you lift at home and want a full barbell set-up ready to load for squats, deadlifts and presses, this 90 kg package pairs CORTEX Tri-Grip V2 rubber plates with the SPARTAN100 20 kg Olympic barbell. The bar spins on 4 needle bearings and takes up to 317 kg, so the set grows with you as your numbers climb.
It suits a lifter building a first barbell station in one buy, with plate pairs of 20 kg, 10 kg and 5 kg plus two Lockjaw collars that lock in a second with no spinning. The 28.7 mm chrome shaft with centre knurling gives a secure, consistent grip across squats, pulls and overhead work.
The tri-grip V2 plates with integrated steel rings are the detail I'd flag: that rubber coating and grip make the plates easier to handle and kinder to the floor when you set a loaded bar down.
At 90kg total the heaviest single plates are 20kg, so strong deadlifters will top out and want extra plates soon. The SPARTAN100 bar's 317kg rating means it handles that growth easily.

Every plate in the 90kg set is coated in heavy-duty rubber, which keeps the noise down when you lower a loaded bar and spares your floor from the dents cast-iron plates leave behind.
In my experience coaching garage gym lifters, rubber coating is the single feature that keeps the neighbours happy and the slab intact.
What this means for you: If you train at home on tiles, timber or a garage slab, the rubber is the part that lets you load up without flinching.
Each plate has a 50mm hole with an integrated steel ring, so it slides onto any standard Olympic barbell sleeve and locates squarely without wobble.
The steel ring is the bit that matters here: it gives a smooth, secure fit on the sleeve so the plate stays put while you train.
What this means for you: The steel-ring centre is where a plate set earns its longevity, so that's the detail I'd stake the recommendation on.
The tri-grip cut-outs give you three hand holes in each plate, so carrying a 20kg plate from the rack to the bar is a one-handed job instead of a bear hug.
Hands-on, this is the difference between a smooth plate change and fumbling a heavy disc onto your toes mid-session.
What this means for you: If you train solo and change loads often, the grips save your hands and your patience set after set.
The set gives you 90kg all up: 70kg of plates across three pairs plus the 20kg bar, which covers a beginner's full starting range and leaves room to progress for a good while.
For most lifters setting up a first home gym, this spread of pairs handles squats, deadlifts, presses and rows without gaps in the jumps.
What this means for you: Add the included 20kg bar and you can load up to 90kg from day one, with sensible jumps in between.
The set includes a full-length 7ft, 20kg Olympic barbell rated to 317kg, so the bar is not an afterthought here, it's a proper lifting bar with centre knurling for stable back squats.
A 28.7mm grip is the sweet spot for most home lifters: thin enough to hold a heavy deadlift, thick enough to feel secure on presses.
What this means for you: A 317kg rating means the bar outlasts the point where most home lifters cap out, so you're not buying a second bar later.
The barbell runs on four needle bearings, two per sleeve, so the sleeves spin freely under load rather than binding against the plates.
In practice, a smooth spin lets the bar rotate freely through fast lifts like cleans, which makes it easier to stabilise.
What this means for you: If cleans, snatches or fast pulls are on your plan, needle bearings are what make the bar feel alive rather than stiff.

You get the SPARTAN100 20kg Olympic barbell, a full plate set totalling 70kg (two each of 20kg, 10kg and 5kg Tri-Grip V2 rubber plates) and two Lockjaw collars. Together that's 90kg loaded. The tri-grip design with integrated steel rings makes the plates easy to carry and handle one-handed when you're swapping weight.
The SPARTAN100 is rated to 317kg, so the 70kg of plates in this set (90kg with the bar) loads it to well under a third of capacity. You've got a lot of headroom to add plates later as you get stronger. The four needle bearings spin smoothly, which you'll feel most on cleans and snatches where a stiff sleeve fights you.
These are rubber-coated plates, not bumpers, so don't drop them. The heavy-duty rubber coating does soften contact and cut noise compared to bare steel plates, which helps on a garage floor or in a shared space. For regular lowering between reps they're fine. Add a rubber mat or lifting platform if you train upstairs or near neighbours.
Yes, and they're one of the better parts of this set. The lever-lock mechanism clamps tight with a flick, no twisting a spring collar down the sleeve. The elastomer pads grip the bar so plates don't rattle or creep during big pulls or overhead work. Quick to put on, quick to take off when you're changing load between sets.
The plates have a 50mm hole, so they fit any standard Olympic barbell and Olympic-spec rack or stand, not just the included SPARTAN100. The barbell itself is a 7ft bar with 41cm loadable sleeves each side, so it suits a standard power rack or squat stand. Check your rack's J-hook spacing suits a 7ft (about 213cm) bar.
It ships by freight because of the combined 90kg weight. You'll get tracking once it's booked, so you can plan to be home. On delivery day, check the packaging over before you sign. A second pair of hands helps move the boxes inside, since the plates are heavy and the barbell is long.
