Our calibrated weights in steel offer a reduced thickness to maximize the load on the bar sleeves, while guaranteeing perfect stability in use. These discs are an optimal choice for athletes seeking high performance, whether in training or competition.
What exercises can be performed with calibrated weights, and what muscles are involved?
The Calibrated weights are ideal for those wishing to make precise progress in the fundamental movements of weight training and weightlifting. They provide a balanced load, greater stability and perfect compatibility with Olympic bars.
Among the best-suited exercises is the deadlift, which mainly involves the back, legs and glutes, with the aim of developing overall strength. The squat, meanwhile, works the thighs, glutes and lower back intensively, improving power and postural stability. The bench press targets pectorals, shoulders and triceps, perfect for building muscle volume.
As for more dynamic movements, theclean and jerk mobilizes legs, shoulders and trunk to develop explosiveness and coordination. Thesnatch involves the legs, back and shoulders, with a strong emphasis on technique and power. Finally, the rowing bar is a key exercise for strengthening the back and biceps while working on posture.
These exercises, performed with calibrated discs, provide a precise, safe and high-performance workout, whether in the gym or at home.

Frequently asked questions
How precise are the UF calibrated plates?
The weight tolerance is 10 g per plate thanks to the built-in calibration weights. They suit training as well as competition.
Do the UF calibrated plates comply with IPF standards?
Yes, the plates comply with IPF standards for colour and dimensions: 25 kg red (450 mm, 27 mm thick), 20 kg blue (450 mm, 22.5 mm), 15 kg yellow (400 mm), 10 kg green (350 mm), 5 kg white (225 mm), 2.5 kg black (190 mm), and silver plates of 1.25 kg, 0.5 kg and 0.25 kg.
Which calibrated plate sets are offered?
Four sets are available: 159 kg (one pair of each weight from 0.25 to 25 kg), 259 kg (the same set plus 2 pairs of 25 kg), 359 kg (plus 4 pairs of 25 kg) and 459 kg (plus 6 pairs of 25 kg). The plates are also sold by the pair. A chrome version also exists.
Why choose calibrated plates rather than classic cast iron plates?
For the precision (10 g tolerance), the reduced thickness (27 mm for a 25 kg) which lets you load more weight on the sleeve of the bar, and the ultra-precise collar diameter that limits any movement of the plate during the exercise. The markings are raised, moulded into the steel, and do not fade over time, unlike painted markings.
Is there a discount when buying a calibrated plate set with other products?
Yes, the powerlifting offer applies automatically to the cart with a complete set ordered in one go: UF-Power bar at -30 € with free collars, Combo Rack at -110 €, competition rack at -180 €, deadlift platform at -10 %. It is not combinable with the 5 % discount.
Are the calibrated plates compatible with all Olympic bars?
Yes, the opening is the 50 mm Olympic standard: the plates fit any bar with 50 mm sleeves, a UF-Power bar, a UF-Haltéro bar, a versatile bar or a bar from another brand.
