Compound Exercise
These hard wearing plates are the ideal training plates for explosive barbell exercises such as squats, cleans, snatch, overhead press, and deadlifts, utilising multiple muscle groups at once unlike machine weights.
To answer your question it all depends on your current bodyweight/muscle mass: So if we were to take someone weighing in at 80kg we would take that number and multiply it by the given numbers down below, giving you your 1 rep max for your bench, squat and shoulder press. Through this you can decide/narrow down which plate set/bundle would be best suited for you.
Example:
Person weighing 80kg
Bench 1 Rep Max = 45kg (.56 x bodyweight)
Squat 1 Rep Max = 65kg (.81 x bodyweight)
Shoulder Press 1 Rep Max = 35kg (.44 x bodyweight)
Yes the plates are available bundles/sets. Here are the available sets for purchase:
'50KG Bumper Plate Set' = 4 x10kg, 2 x5kg
'100KG Bumper Plate Set' = 2x 5kg, 2x10kg, 2x 15kg, 2x20kg
'150kg Bumper Plate Set' = 2x 5kg, 2x10kg, 2x 15kg, 2x20kg, 2x25kg
The recommended set/bundle for the person mentioned above would be the 100kg bundle, as it gives plenty of possibilities for progression and will challenge the individual.
Most Power Racks measure 7ft or a little over 80" in width, enough to accommodate a minimum 7ft bar.
In order to safely rack a bar we recommend not to use a bar shorter than this, as you won't be able to load the sleeves.
