weight plates
Iron gym discs
Weight plates are the flat, heavy discs loaded onto barbells and weight machines for resistance training.
They come in standard sizes—typically ranging from 2.5 to 45 pounds—and are stacked to achieve desired weight.
Bumper plates are rubber-coated versions designed to be dropped safely.
