Fringe Sport Olympic Cast Iron Plate (10 lb)

Overview

Sometimes you just need a small iron plate to round out a load, and Fringe Sport's Olympic Cast Iron 10-pounder fills that role cleanly. Poured from cast iron and finished with a baked coating to slow rust, the plate has the dense, no-bounce feel that fans of traditional iron prefer. Its compact diameter and thin profile let it slide onto a sleeve outside of larger bumpers or plates, making it ideal for incremental jumps on presses, rows, and accessory movements where a 45 would be far too much. The machined center hole fits standard Olympic bars snugly so the plate stays quiet and stable on the bar. While it lacks the integrated handles of some grip plates, the modest weight makes it easy to handle anyway. Like all iron, it is meant to be lowered under control rather than dropped from height, so it belongs in a rack or on a platform. Fringe prices these individual plates fairly and backs its gear with strong support, so they are an easy, low-cost way to extend a set or build a budget iron loadout one plate at a time. For small, dependable iron, it does exactly what it should.
