Claims18
A weightlifting system comprising:
- a weightlifting barbell including a first end and a second end;
- and
- a pair of technique plates each of which is configured to be loaded on a respective end of the weightlifting barbell, each of the technique plates comprising:
- a weight amount of about 5 kilograms;
- a circular configuration having a diameter of about 450 millimeters;
- a portion that encircles a bar-receiving hole near a center of the circular configuration, wherein the portion includes a portion thickness that hinders wobbling of the technique plate when the technique plate is loaded on the weightlifting barbell by sliding the respective end through the bar-receiving hole;
- and
- a single-piece construction including a compressed plastic-based composite, wherein the compressed plastic-based composite includes a density level, which causes the technique plate to possess a combination of characteristics that include the weight amount of about 5 kilograms, the diameter of about 450 mm, and the portion thickness that hinders wobbling.

A weightlifting system comprising:
- a weightlifting barbell including a first end and a second end;
- and
- a pair of technique plates each of which is configured to be loaded on a respective end of the weightlifting barbell, each technique plate comprising:
- a weight amount of about 7.5 kg;
- a circular configuration having a diameter of about 450 millimeters;
- a portion that encircles a bar-receiving hole near a center of the circular configuration, wherein the portion includes a portion thickness that hinders wobbling of the technique plate when the technique plate is loaded on the weightlifting barbell by sliding the respective end through the bar-receiving hole;
- and
- a single-piece construction including a compressed plastic-based composite, wherein a density level of the compressed plastic-based composite causes the technique plate to possess a combination of characteristics that include the weight amount of about 7.5 kilograms, the diameter of about 450 millimeters, and the portion thickness that hinders wobbling.
5 more elements
A weightlifting system comprising:
- a first pair of weightlifting technique plates including a first plate and a second plate, wherein the first plate and the second plate each includes:
- a weight amount that is about 5 pounds;
- a circular configuration having a diameter of about 17.7 inches;
- a portion that encircles a bar-receiving hole near a center of the circular configuration, wherein the first plate is configured to be slidably loaded on a first end of a barbell and the second plate is configured to be slidably loaded on a second end of the barbell and wherein the portion includes a portion thickness that hinders wobbling of the first plate and the second plate when each plate is loaded on a respective end of the barbell;
- and
- a single-piece construction including a compressed plastic-based composite, wherein a density level of the compressed plastic-based composite causes the first plate and the second plate to each possess a combination of characteristics that include the weight amount about 5 pounds, the diameter of about 450 millimeters, and the portion thickness that hinders wobbling;
- and
- a second pair of weightlifting technique plates including a third plate and a fourth plate, wherein the third plate and the fourth plate each includes:
- a weight amount that is about 10 pounds;
- a circular configuration having a diameter of about 17.7 inches;
- a portion that encircles a bar-receiving hole near a center of the circular configuration, wherein the third plate is configured to be slidably loaded on the first end of the barbell while the first plate is also loaded on the first end and the fourth plate is configured to be slidably loaded on the second end of the barbell while the second plate is also loaded on the second end and wherein the portion includes a portion thickness that hinders wobbling of the third plate and the fourth plate when each plate is loaded on a respective end of the barbell;
- and
- a single-piece construction including the compressed plastic-based composite, wherein the density level of the compressed plastic-based composite causes the third plate and the fourth plate to each possess a combination of characteristics that include the weight amount about 10 pounds, the diameter of about 450 millimeters, and the portion thickness that hinders wobbling.
