iron weights
Heavy lifting equipment
Iron weights are heavy objects made of iron used for exercise, strength training, or measuring mass.
In fitness contexts, the term evokes traditional weightlifting equipment—dumbbells, barbells, and plates—as distinct from modern machine-based training: He prefers iron weights to fancy gym equipment.
The phrase carries connotations of old-school, no-frills physical training.
