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.

Opt for discstops to practice in complete safety
The disc-stop is an essential accessory for securing weights on your barbells or dumbbells. It prevents the weights from slipping during exercise.
Our Smart Stop Discs are sold in pairs: you need 2 for one barbell, 4 if you use 2 dumbbells (ref: 8574652).
Keep your cast iron disks in good condition for a long time
Cast-iron discs are virtually indestructible, provided you keep them away from moisture.
Store them in a dry place.
Dust them with a damp cloth from time to time.
Store them on your storage rack (ref: 8788246), a wall-mounted disc holder (ref: 8796727) or in the lower part of a cabinet.
Our coach gives you ideas for using your cast-iron weights
If you have a dumbbell, you can perform the standing bench press with one or two dumbbells.
Shoulder and triceps exercise:
- Standing bench press 4×8 at 10 repetitions
Try to have a 2-rep margin at the end of your sets. Increase the number of repetitions and then the load as you progress.
