9030/3-9035/3 Rubber Coated Weight Plates – Symmetrical Grip

The new Sidea Rubber Plates introduce a premium high-density rubber coating characterized by a silky finish obtained through microsandblasting. This sets a new benchmark for the price-to-quality ratio in this disc category. The surface yield is clean and homogeneous, reaching a quality close to Polyurethane (PU) finishes while maintaining a more accessible price point.

Handling is extremely comfortable, an advantage particularly evident in heavier weights (15, 20, 25 kg), especially during loading onto barbells and plate-loaded machines. The symmetrical grips and rounded edges further improve ergonomics, making the plate usable individually for one- or two-handed exercises, such as:

• Halos (rotations around the head)

• Weighted Crunches

• Woodchoppers (diagonal twists)

• Goblet Squats

• Lunges (with plate at chest or overhead)

• Calf Raises

• Overhead Walking Lunges

• Squat to Press

Beyond high quality and density, the rubber coating stands out for its thick shoulder, designed to offer a wide and protected contact point. This shape ensures a soft and highly absorbent resting surface, keeping the internal cast iron structure well-protected from impacts and abrasions.

The 9030/3–9036/3 Rubber Plates are not suitable for dropping and must not be dropped uncontrollably from height. However, they can be used for deadlifts, provided these are performed in a highly controlled manner on adequately rubberized surfaces or, preferably, on Sidea Drop Mats 0404.

The construction combining high-density rubber and a cast iron core results in a noticeably thinner disc. This saves significant space on barbell sleeves and machine pins, allowing for increased load capacity.

The central hole features a rounded stainless steel ring, designed to guarantee fluid and immediate insertion on both Ø 50 mm barbells and machine loading pins. Its rounded shape also allows it to be used as an additional grip point, avoiding the typically sharp edges of machine-worked rings.
