Overview
The CAP OPHR3-005 is a single cast iron weight plate weighing 5 pounds, finished in black, sold as one piece rather than a set.
Cast iron is the standard material for basic weight plates, chosen for its density and lower cost compared to rubber-coated or bumper plates.
- Cast iron material
- 5 pound weight
- Black finish
- Sold individually
Who it's for
Fits anyone needing one 5 pound plate to round out a barbell load or plate-loaded machine. Not suited to buyers wanting a full plate set, since this listing covers a single piece.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Cast iron construction for durability
- Standard 5 pound increment useful for fine-tuning load
- Sold as a single plate, not a set
- No rubber coating to protect floors
Performance notes
Cast iron plates are dense and hold their shape under repeated loading, though they lack the rubber coating that protects floors and reduces noise on drops.
