If you're buying these discs for use on barbells or dumbbells, you'll also need a disc stop for safe practice. This accessory is added to the bar after positioning the disc to prevent it from slipping during your exercises.

How do you maintain and store your bodybuilding discs?
There are a few simple tips you can follow to keep your weight-training discs in good condition for as long as possible.
Always store them in a dry place. They are sensitive to humidity and can rust if stored in damp conditions or outdoors.
You can also dust them from time to time with a dry or damp microfiber cloth.
Then store them in the lower part of a piece of furniture, under a bed or on a wall-mounted disc holder (ref: 8796727).
