York G2 Cast Iron 15Kg Olympic Weight (x1)

15Kg York G2 Easy Grip Cast Iron Weight Plate (priced/sold as an individual plate, order Qty. 2 for a pair) - the weight plate of choice for easy handling. No thicker than other generally available cast iron olympic weight plates they feature a unique lock together shape to reduced movement on the bar and ensuring all plates remain corectly orientated with the solid portion of the plate below the centre hole for maximum load capacity and the Easy-Grip contoured handles at the top to facillitate ease of loading and unloading machines, bars etc.

Pete's tip: "15Kg plates have always been a bit of an odd size for me personally. It's a plate I've never felt the need to use. I'd always suggest ditchig the 15's and replacing them with a pair of 20's for several reasons but primarily because if pyramiding (?) up or down your weights during a set it's more logical (to me at least) to shuffle smaller plates on and off the bar to go from a 20kg plate in small steps to 40Kg whereupon you add another 20kg weight plate to the bar and start again. 
More importantly, if doing deadlifts for example you always use 20's to keep maximum load spread across the plates reducing the risk of damage to bar, plates and indeed floor. If you like 15's then carry on but I'd say it's by far the lest used plate in the gym. "

The cut-out handles of the York G2 weight plates make handling them much easier, for example carrying 2 x 20Kg plates one in each hand is very easy and can be used as an exercise similar to farmers walk in it's own right. The cut-outs also interlock with similar plates of the same size reducing space taken up on the weightlifting bar, and to add to that they also create "finger space" under the edge therby enabling the user to pick up 20Kg or these 15Kg plates left face down on the floor with ease.
