Reviews of Body-Solid Quad Rubber Grip Olympic Weight Plate Singles

Review 1: GREAT AND VERSATILE EQUIPMENT

I’m an ex power lifter and football player who is now older and have many injuries that create the need for a different kind of weight disk. I have had many problems with my broken feet and I use two of these rubber grip weights (one in each hand) to walk short distances.

I have purchased weight vest and other great items; but this versatile 4 handle design is amazing and far more able to use in many ways than a normal weight disk on a bar. The more expensive price is worth it for me because I have plenty of metal normal weights. But for people who use weight bells or vest etc. this is a great addition to your equipment and well worth the price. I also have 2 of the 45lb heavier grip weight disk which in both cases I would recommend the 4 handle option over the 3 handle version.

Review 2: Good for core work

We got these for a small workout room. They are not Olympic size. If you are trying to use them for Olympic lifts as a substitute for rubber weights they are a bit too small. The sizes mirror normal weight sizes. What we really like are the handles. We uses them almost like kettlebells or medballs.

They have been great for that. You can grab the handles with one or two hands and do plenty of swinging and twisting movements with just the plate. Easy, transportable and much cheaper than KB or Medballs for what you can do with them.

Review 3: EXCELLENT GRIP PLATE.

excellent grip plate. I purchased the 25, 35 and 45 pound plates(1 plate each). the rubber casing is heavy duty and the grip is excellent. the 4 way grip is an added bonus and the reason I purchased them. I use these plates like a medicine ball and it has exceeded my expectations. they have a been a great addition to my work-out routine. yes, they do have a rubber smell. I will be washing them and I expect that will help.
