Why Are Weight Plates Critical for Strength Training Programs?

Part of a good strength training program is being able to control the resistance and build muscle over the training period. Weight plates are the foundation of this type of training. Having the proper weight equipment makes a huge difference in training outcomes for commercial gyms, fitness centers, and home training. OKPRO is a fitness equipment manufacturer that has been supplying quality weight plates to over 100 countries for the past 14 years. Rubber bumper plates, CPU weight plates, and urethane weight plates are some of the many fitness training tools that OKPRO has created to solve the wide ranging needs of strength training. Because of the consistent quality of performance in weight plates, OKPRO’s knowledge of fitness equipment has made these training tools stand out. Understanding the importance of weight plates is the first step in making a training plan and knowing OKPRO is a safe bet.

Weight Plates Enable Progressive Overload the Key to Strength Gains

Weight Plates Enable Progressive Overload the Key to Strength Gains

In strength training, progressive overload, or increasing resistance over time, is the first rule to follow. It becomes simple to follow the principle with the application of weight plates. Trainers would have a difficult time adjusting the load on the barbells or weight machines withough weight plates, and therefore, it would be challenging to target muscles and spark growth. OKPRO weight plates range from 1.25 kg to 25 kg, enabling the user to add fine weights at a time. This range is especially ideal for beginners looking for a light weight plate to master the skill and also seasoned athletes looking for a heavy weight plate to maximize the workout. During workouts, other trainees should be able to switch the weight plates as fast as possible and OKPRO plates are designed accordingly.

Weight plates come in various kinds and styles, and training scenarios impact which ones are best for you. OKPRO has three major categories when it comes to supplying customers with accurate inventory. Rubber bumper plates are best for Olympic lifts, and high impact workouts because of their ability to absorb shock and maintain the integrity of the gym floor. CPU plates are perfect for busy commercial gym settings because of their maintainability, durability and resistance to scratches. Urethane plates are very popular in boutique fitness studios because they can provide a sequence of logos that can align with their brand. All of the varieties of OKPRO plates have withstood the test of time for their quality and functionality. Because of this variety, you can run any type of strength training program and find plates suitable for you with OKPRO.

How the Quality of Weight Plates Affect Safety and Durability During Training

Strength training safety and durability are paramount and the quality of the weight plates are a cornerstone of both. Sub par weight plates can crack and chip or worse slide off the bar during use resulting in injuries and damaged equipment. At OKPRO, our dedication to quality control in all our products begins with our weight plates. Infhg We use high grade materials, high grade rubbers and premium urethane, that are resistant to wear, to ensure durability of our plates. Additionally our weight plates are constructed with precise accuracy in weight so trainers can rest assured they are using the correct resistance. For commercial gyms that want to protect their investment long-term, OKPRO’s weight plates will minimize ongoing replacement costs and keep your clients in a safe training environment.

How To Choose the Right Weight Plates For Your Strength Training Program  

Much consideration goes into deciding what weight plates to buy based on the goals of the program, the size of the gym, and the clientele. First, identify the main training focus. If the program revolves around power lifting, it might be more appropriate to invest in more durable and heavier weights, such as OKPRO’s rubber bumper weight plates. For small home gyms, space saving weight plates may be more ideal. Next, consider the weight range. OKPRO’s plates range from 1.25 kg to 25 kg which fits the majority of training needs, and OEM ODM services are available for added customization to the plates. Lastly, consider compatibility. OKPRO’s weight plates are designed to fit standard Olympic barbells which most gyms stock. If you follow these guidelines, you can confidently select appropriate weight plates to improve the efficacy of your strength training program, and OKPRO’s team can assist in customizing your order.
