How to care for and store your weights
There are a few simple things you can do to keep your weight plates in good condition for as long as possible.
- Store them in a dry place. If you keep them somewhere humid or outdoors, they could rust. - Also, you should occasionally clean them of dust using a dry or damp microfibre cloth. - Store them on the ground floor of your home on a storage rack (ref: 8788246) or on a wall-mounted plate rack (ref: 8796727)
Our cast iron plates are made from at least 80% recycled cast iron
Since 2018, our teams have gradually integrated recycled materials until we achieved the perfect balance. After several years of experimentation, Decathlon is replacing its entire range of cast iron products with recycled cast iron made from at least 80% scrap metal and steel waste - a true achievement for the world of metals! To ensure that the quality is the same as classic cast iron, tests are conducted in partner laboratories.
Need ideas on how to use this plate? Our trainer can help!
Weight training plates can be used with a barbell or dumbbell, depending on your equipment (here on a bench and barbell). Exercises for pectoral and tricep muscles:
- Bench press, 4x4 repetitions
Keep 2 repetitions in reserve as you finish each set. Over time, and as you get stronger, you can increase the load by adding 0.5 kg or 1 kg weights.

Safety first: get some weight clamps!
If you buy these plates to use on a dumbbell or barbell, you will also need some clamps to train safely. The clamp should be added to the bar after you have placed the plate on it, so that the plate does not slip during training. Weight clamps are sold in pairs. (ref: 8574652).
The weight is strong thanks to its cast iron material, easy to grip from the edge, and compatible with 28 mm diameter bars. It will stay put during your workouts.
