Product Summary

When a half-kilogram can mean the difference between matching or beating a personal record, you need a change plate that loads fast and won’t budge on the bar. Rogue’s Friction Grip KG Change Plates meet the challenge. These durable competition discs feature a rubberized “Friction Grip” interior coating, designed for quick, stable loading on the outside of a collar.

Before the advent of the International Weightlifting Federation’s “1KG Rule” in 2005, competitions required that a bar be advanced by 2.5KG increments. This led to long delays as loaders had to remove collars in order to add weight. With FG change plates like these, competitive lifters can add 1KG without adjusting the collar position—greatly reducing downtime at events and keeping the focus on the athletes themselves.

Rogue Friction Grip KG Change Plates are available in four sizes—0.5kg, 1kg, 1.5kg, and 2kg—and can be ordered as single-increment pairs or in full 10KG sets. Each plate features a matte finish and Rogue branding.

Plate Sizes:

  • 0.5KG FG (White): 135MM diameter; 12.5MM thickness
  • 1.0KG FG (Green): 160MM; 15MM
  • 1.5KG FG (Yellow): 175MM; 18MM
  • 2KG FG (Blue): 190MM; 19MM

Additional Specifications:

  • Friction Grip collar
  • Maintains stable hold on bar when loaded outside of the collar
  • Fits standard 50MM Olympic Barbell Sleeves
  • Rogue branding (white text on color plates, black text on white plate)
  • Tolerance: +/- 10 grams

This plate has a rubber coated metal center. Minimal wear of the rubber, which does not affect performance, may occur with repeated use
