Abstract
A weightlifting plate set consisting of three or more generally disc-shaped weight plates of different diameter and weight, all having a different number of generally the same size finger hole openings. The finger hole openings are further defined as being large enough for at least one finger and preferably four fingers to pass partially through the opening to grasp the plate. A three plate set preferably has five openings in a 45 lb. plate, four openings in a 35 lb. plate and three openings in the 25 lb. plate. The finger hole openings are large to allow for ease of use and improved safety and also allow for identification of the weight of the plate from a distance.
