Our cast iron plates are made from at least 80% recycled cast iron
Since 2018, our teams have been gradually integrating recycled materials until we reached the perfect balance. Following several years of experiments, 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 real feat for the world of metal! To ensure that the quality is the same as classic cast iron, tests are carried out in partner laboratories.
Why choose cast iron rather than plastic or vinyl weights?
There are many advantages to cast iron:
- density: compact so you can increase the number of discs on the bar. This makes it easy to load your bar for a variety of exercises.
- life span: unlike vinyl and plastic which can wear out quickly, cast iron lasts a lifetime!
What are the benefits of cast iron?
- durability: it withstands crushing 5 times better than vinyl.
- texture: its textured surface provides an excellent grip even when your hands are damp. In cases where plastic or vinyl would be slippery.
Choosing cast iron weights means you can work out confidently and efficiently.
Use your 10 kg barbell kit safely
The disc collars should always be placed on the barbell after loading with weights.
Note that they do not support more than 15 kg in a hammer grip (vertical position).
Max weight per bar: 30 kg
What weight training accessories help to vary your exercises with this kit?
For more exercise possibilities, you can get a bench (ref: 8616804) to be able do to incline bench presses, for example.
Our coach suggests a toning workout with this 10 kg kit
Upper body work:
- Seated shoulder press with bar, 3-4 sets of 12-15 reps
- Barbell rows, 3-4 sets of 12-15 reps
Lower body work:
- Lunges with bar, 3x12 for each leg
Always keep a 2-rep margin and recover for 1 minute between sets.
You can increase the load or the number of reps between workouts.
Caring for your cast iron plates
Moisture is cast iron's greatest enemy, so always store your weights and bar in a dry place.
Clean the bar and plates with a damp cloth after each workout.
Then store all parts of your kit in a dry place!
Never store your bar or weights outdoors or in a cellar.
