itch85 Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Does anyone know the middle hole diameter of an olympic plate, is there a standard size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SqeezeMasterFlash Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 2", or if calibrated 1.96". 50mm I beleive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mac Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Just under 2" on average. Some manafactures make their plates smaller to encourage you to use their bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Varies a great deal. I have plates that are less than 2'', and others as much as 2 3/16'' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itch85 Posted September 7, 2004 Author Share Posted September 7, 2004 yeah i was thinking about 2" i found a bar at work which is just over 2" so it might just about fit if not ill just turn it down but i dont have much room of error as the bar is only a couple of mm thick.

John Beatty Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 The ones at the gym are 2 1/8". Mine are a hair smaller, and I have a "Tri-bar" pair of 45's & some 10's that won't fit on a 2" loading pin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arne Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 The calibrated plates from Eleiko measure 50.1 mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Edgin Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 The holes should be 2"+, but the bars are mostly 1 15/16" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
