Benchmark of Precision - Strength Shop’s Calibrated Competition Plates

Calibrated plates are to the ambitious athlete what the hammer  is to Thor. This high-end piece of equipment is now among our strongest tools for Powerlifter or Strongman and Strongwoman.

Manufactured according to international competition standards, these Powerlifting Plates, often referred to as calibrated steel plates, feature the IPF colour-code for fast recognition of the weight. The coated cast-iron plates come with a velvet matte finish, raised details — like our brand logo, weight unit in kilograms and are cut super thin. All plates have a 50mm collar opening to ensure a very tight fit on the barbell. A thin lip around the Calibrated Powerlifting Plates aids in handling the plates safely, while loading or storing. Our Calibrated Plates are IPF approved, which means they are optimal for competitions. 

What Are Calibrated Weight Plates?

Our Calibrated Powerlifting Plates offer maximum accuracy for weight loading in training and competition. Slim designed plates allow for maximal loads, which is essential with having strength sports like Powerlifting or Strongman and Strongwoman in mind. On the back of each plate, two pins are used to fine-calibrate within +/-10gr of each weight plate. As a result, the discs have maximum accuracy. That's what matters; that's what the athlete can rely on.

Just like you, we take our training very seriously and have been working on our calibrated plates for a long time. Now that they are here, we are proud to finally offer you plates that combine maximum precision and quality.

Do you want to save some energy while loading and unloading the barbell? Our Mini Deadlift Jack will be your helping hand.

Please note: The inner colour coating of the centre hole might come off with first use, and the plates could be a little harder to put on. Don't worry, this is not a flaw in production, but due to the manufacturing process and will resolve over time.

Specs:

• IPF approved
• Plates are sold individually, not as pair
• Slim plates to load barbell beyond 700kg 
• Available from 0.25kg to 25kg 
• Weight tolerance of max. +/-10gr

FAQ

What’s the benefit of a lever belt?
​​Lifting belts are made to support your spine by increasing pressure in your core. By using a belt, you increase the intra-abdominal pressure in your body– meaning you can lift more weight and help prevent injuries. However, it’s not a replacement for proper lifting technique. 

Unlike belts with one or two prongs, lever belts only need to be adjusted the first time you use them. This makes it faster and easier to put on and take off the belt without fiddling with the prongs each time.

Should I choose the 10mm or 13mm Lever Belt?
Both belts offer substantial support. The main difference is that the 13mm belt has extra material, making it slightly thicker and offering slightly more support. If you're a beginner or haven't used a lifting belt before, you might find the 10mm belt more comfortable.
