Fitvids Olympic Rubber Coated Cast Iron Plates 45 lb Pair

Overview

Sold as a single piece, the SF2TRY-RC45P is a 2 pound weight plate from Fitvids, made of alloy steel with a rubber coating meant to cut down on noise and floor marking.

Rubber coated plates like this trade some of the shine of bare steel for quieter drops and less floor marking, which matters more in a home setup than a commercial one. At 2 pounds this is a light increment, useful for fine adjustments or bar balancing rather than as the main load.

• Model SF2TRY-RC45P
• 2 lb alloy steel plate
• Rubber coated finish
• Sold as 1 piece

Who it's for

Lifters who need small increments to fine tune a barbell load, or who want a rubber coated plate for a home gym floor, fit this listing. It is not the choice for anyone shopping for a full plate set in one purchase, since it is listed as a single piece.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Rubber coating on an alloy steel core mainly changes how the plate sounds and marks the floor when set down, not how it lifts. At 2 pounds and sold as a single piece, its role is fine tuning a bar load rather than carrying the bulk of a lift.
