The 5 lb Technique Plates from Wright Equipment are ideal for enhancing weight training exercises for bodybuilders and weightlifters. The plates are designed to fit 2 inch Olympic bars and are crafted from a strong, solid steel construction. Their flat, precise edges give lifters a better feel for their technique during exercises, making them ideal for strength-training and powerlifting moves like squats, deadlifts, presses, and bench presses. The plates also have a durable finish to prevent rust, corrosion, and wear, ensuring lasting use with minimal maintenance. With their lighter construction and smaller size, the 5 lb Technique Plates are perfect for working on proper form, as well as increasing power, flexibility, and strength. The plates are available in both single (1 x 5 lb plates) and pairs (2 x 5 lb plates).
