Strengthen Your Neuromuscular Training

Weight training with Olympic plates and a barbell will encourage the training of neuromuscular co-ordination through active maintenance of balance and body position.

This neuromuscular training also strengthens the weakest point in your range of motion because your body has to learn to balance the weight as you lift.  This balancing motion causes even the finest of muscles to build strength and thus all points in your range of motion are strengthened.

The Beauty of Steel Plates is That They:

  • are very inexpensive and very versatile
  • allow you to do many compound exercises (exercises that work more than one muscle) that are task and sport specific.

Olympic Plate Sets

Olympic plate sets offer competition grade and commercial weight sets. They are a superior free weight because all their weights are ergonomically designed to keep balance accurately from side to side with added raised edges and integral handles for safer handling.

They are made to fit on all Olympic sized bars and barbells, their edges are smooth with no jagged edges to cause injuries to your hand. They have a craftsman designed extra rib for more support, they have an extra cast put in their center to keep the plate strong even after sliding on and of a bar repeatedly. They are made with the strongest cast available and have raised letters and numbers for reading ease.
