Philosophy Gym Rubber Coated Olympic Grip Plates

Overview

This is a pair of 25 pound rubber-coated weight plates from Philosophy, sold as two pieces in black. Rubber coating typically protects flooring and reduces noise compared with bare iron plates.

With no bore diameter or standard versus olympic spec listed, buyers should check plate hole size against their own bar before ordering, since a mismatch is a common return reason for plates like these. The pieces count of 2 confirms this is a matched pair rather than a single plate.

• 25 pounds per plate
• 2 plates included
• Rubber material
• Black finish

Who it's for

Fits lifters filling out a home barbell set who need an even pair of mid-weight plates. Not the choice for anyone needing bumper plates rated for dropping, since rubber-coated plates and true bumper plates are not the same thing.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Rubber coating over the plate reduces clanging and helps protect floors during racking, a common reason lifters choose coated plates over raw iron for home use.
