Marcy 100kg Olympic Weight Plate Set With 6ft Olympic Barbell

The Marcy 100kg Olympic weight plate set is not only a great addition to any home gym on its own, but also perfect for adding to any existing smith machine that has a rack on the front for a free weight barbell or power rack.

If you are just starting out weightlifting then one of the best pieces of equipment you can invest in is a barbell and weight plates, together with a pair of dumbbells that go up to a weight of 30kg+.

With just these few basic items you can setup a basic home gym in a very small space and they don’t require any construction or permanent fixings to either the wall or floor.

Convenient plate sizes for increasing strength

The Marcy 100kg Olympic weight plate set comes with a pair of 15kg plates, pair of 10kg plates, 4 of the 5kg plates, 4 of the 2.5kg plates and 4 of the 1.25kg plates. Although it doesn’t come with any 20kg plates, this is often only necessary when you start lifting weights in excess of 300lb and need to get through warm up sets quicker.

The higher number of lighter weight plates also means that you can actually progress quicker in your strength gains. If you were to only have 10kg plates and were looking to stay in an effective rep range of 6 to 10 reps, even if you managed 10 reps with 20kg each side on a barbell curl that wouldn’t mean you could manage the 6 reps if you went up another 10kg per side. Because of the lighter plates that come with this set you can go up 1.25kg each side at a time which will help the muscles rebuild stronger after providing a little more stress each week or month.

The tri-grip design is used to make picking up the weight and swapping them over a much quicker and easier job. It also allows for weight plate specific exercises like front raises with a weight plate.

The 15kg 6ft solid steel barbell that comes with the Marcy 100kg weight plate set uses knurling to enhance your grip whilst training to get out those all important last repetitions. 2 Olympic spring locking collars are provided that make it time efficient to take the weights on and off.
