Olympic vs. Standard Weight Sets

As you can imagine from the name, Olympic weights and bars are a step up from standard lifting sets. Often used for competition, these weights offer more adaptability and less disruption and spinning while lifting. Ideal for heavy lifting, Olympic weights offer several advantages over standard weights such as increased stability, better weight accuracy, and quiet, smoother lifting. Of course, with advantages like these, you can expect a higher price point. Depending on your needs, these benefits may outweigh the additional out-of-pocket expense.

When comparing standard plates against Olympic weights, you’re likely to notice the difference in the center hole size. Rather than a 1-inch space, Olympic weights have a 2-inch center hole. This difference in space makes the Olympic weight larger although weighing the same. This difference also prevents you from using a standard bar with Olympic plates.

If you’ve ever lifted a lot of weight using a standard bar, you may have noticed it bend. Standard weight bars just can’t handle higher weights. And this bend can throw you off balance quickly, leading to a potentially dangerous situation. Olympic power bars are safety tested and rated for 1,500 lbs. allowing you to bring out your Hulk smash without any worry.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is an Olympic Weight Set?

If you’ve just started lifting, it’s likely you’ve heard talk about Olympic weight sets and bars. What exactly sets an Olympic lifting set from your standard set? Here we’ll cover the differences between the two so you can decide which set is right for you.

What is the best value Olympic weight sets?

Factors that affect the price of Olympic weights:

  • Material – Most Olympic weights for sale are made from cast iron. However, some of them are coated with rubber. Those coated with rubber tend to be more expensive
  • Grip holes – There are plates with unique cutouts at the edge that give you additional places to grip the weight and come with a higher price tag.
  • Weight precision and accuracy – In most cases, cheaper weights are usually poorly calibrated compared to expensive ones.

What is recreational training?

Recreational training is training for leisure for those who do not participate in any major sports or games and helps to improve those who do it. Weightlifting can also be considered a recreational activity for most people who go to the gym just to keep fit. Many people describe Olympic weights and weightlifting as fun and still receive the other benefits that come with this type of training.

How to examine a used olympic barbell before you purchase?

The best place to buy a used Olympic barbell and other gym equipment such as Olympic weights is online. If you live in a place where people have yard sales, that would also be a great place to shop for a barbell. When shopping around, ensure that you know the different types of barbells and which one is good for you, especially if this is your first time.

Should you buy lbs or Kg weights?

This decision depends on your location and whether you are lifting weights competitively or not. If you live in the US, it’s easier to buy lbs plates because that is the standard measurement of weight in the country. If you plan on competing in the Olympics or other weight lifting sport events, you should buy Kg plates. What’s awesome is that you can find Olympic weights for sale in Kilograms if that is what you prefer. They start from 1.25-25Kgs.

Who can use Olympic weights?

Both trained and untrained persons can use Olympic weights. The term untrained is used to describe someone who doesn’t have any experience lifting weights. If you fall under this category, you should start slow with about three workouts per week and grow from there. An experienced person can start with four workouts per week and increase the number of reps per session.
