Why choose a cast-iron weight rather than a plastic or vinyl one?
- Thanks to its density, cast iron is more compact than vinyl, which means you can increase the number of discs on the bar (up to 32 kg on a dumbbell)
- Cast iron can be kept for life, unlike plastic or vinyl, which can last less than 1 year.
- Less affected by temperature variations, cast iron offers constant use in different climatic conditions.
Why use cast-iron weights?
- Cast iron is 5 times more resistant to impacts, falls and crushing than vinyl.
- Cast iron has a textured surface for excellent grip, even with wet hands, unlike plastic, which is often slippery.
Choosing our cast iron weights means opting for efficiency and reliability in your training.

Our storage tips for your cast-iron bodybuilding discs
Store your cast-iron weights on a wall-mounted disc holder (ref: 8796727) or a storage rack (ref: 8788246) to be installed indoors (garage, for example).
You can also store them in the lower part of a cabinet.
Your weights should be stored away from humidity, as cast iron can rust if exposed to water.
Your discs can be cleaned simply with a microfiber cloth when stored for long periods.
