Thanks to the tri-grip design, you can easily grip the weight plate and safely use it on its own for workouts without the need for a bar. As a tri-grip plate can be used with a barbell or for single and double-handed workouts, this presents users with the flexibility to do a wider range of exercises. You can perform lots of weightlifting workouts including classics like bench presses and squats.  Tri-grip weight plates are also often slimmer than other types of plates, helping you save space in your workout environment.

How to Use the Tri-Grip Weight Plates

Simplicity is at the heart of these tri-grip weight plates, so you or your gym members shouldn't have a problem getting started. The plates can either be used with a barbell, one hand or two hands. If using with an Olympic bar, simply slide the weight plate on the end of the barbell and fasten it into position, ensuring you use clamp collars to prevent it from moving. You can perform a range of traditional barbell exercises such as barbell squats, rack pulls, deadlifts, and bench presses. If you want to use a barbell, we highly recommend the 7ft Olympic bar.

If you would prefer to exercise without an Olympic bar, then you will be happy to know that these tri-grip plates excel in this area. The plates have three hand-grips for exercising safely without the use of a bar. All you need to do is pick up the plate, maintain a firm grasp and perform your preferred workout - it's that simple! Effective weightlifting exercises that you can do without a bar include the front raise, lateral raise, squat press, and Russian twist.

Tri-grip weight plates, as we have already mentioned, incorporate a tri-grip design. This unique design provides users with the flexibility to safely and efficiently exercise with or without a barbell.

Tri-grip plates open you up to a broader range of exercises and focus on developing upper body muscles, balance and coordination. Rubber crumb plates, however, are designed with impact protection in mind. These plates aren't as easy to use on their own, but help protects equipment, reduce sound and create a softer bounce. No matter your choice, you can perform an extensive range of strength workouts, so rest assured you will achieve your weightlifting goals.
