POWERLIFTING

Our Range of Powerlifting Essentials

At Factory Weights, building strength has never been easier. Whether refining your bench press technique or chasing a new deadlift PR, we’ve got just the powerlifting gym equipment you need to achieve your goals.

Our wide range features everything from premium weightlifting belts to extra sturdy barbells. Made from robust, high-quality materials, these products are designed to withstand intense use by powerlifting athletes of all levels. 

Since 2021, we’ve focused on supplying high-quality lifting gear that stays affordable, earning ‘Scottish Fitness Website of the Year’ in 2022. We offer the perfect combination of safety and support, essential for breaking past a plateau and raising the bar on your performance, literally. 

Here’s what you can expect from our range of powerlifting equipment for sale.

Weight Plates 

Explore a selection of calibrated and cast-iron powerlifting plates that help track your progress more accurately, especially when working with heavy loads: 

• Calibrated plates boast a weight tolerance within 10 g or 0.25%, meeting powerlifting competition standards for precise tracking and performance. 

• Iron plates are precision-cast for accuracy, featuring a thin, durable profile that stacks more iron on the bar for heavy progressive overload. 

We also stock powerlifting plates in smaller increments, making them ideal for steady, progressive overload as you smash a new PB.

Olympic Barbells 

Designed for heavy-duty lifting, our extra-strong Olympic powerlifting barbells are manufactured with hardened chrome. Each barbell boasts a 908 kg load-bearing capacity and 43 cm sleeves to accommodate multiple weight plates. 

Aggressive knurling ensures an extra-secure grip, while IPF markings make these the perfect choice when you’re barbell training for powerlifting competitions.

Speciality Bars

Perform intense powerlifting moves with enhanced comfort and safety. We stock a variety of speciality bars, including women’s barbells, for targeted strength workouts. 

Ideal for deadlifts, our open hex trap power bars are designed to prevent hyperextension, speeding up recovery. Like a deadlift jack, each power bar features built-in stands to help users load and unload weight plates with ease.

Unlike straight bars, a safety squat bar, or yoke, features a padded cover that rests on your shoulders and the back of your neck. This offers greater comfort and safety at the squat rack, especially with heavy loads during an intense powerlifting set.

Barbell Accessories

Our strength training accessories provide the technical edge needed for elite performance. This range includes specialised barbell accessories such as:

• Weighted chains: Choose between 20 kg and 30 kg pairs, securing the chains to the ends of your Olympic barbell. 

• Deadlift bar jacks: These make loading and unloading weight plates easier, reduce stress on your back and help you fully recover between sets.

Powerlifting Belts

Our 10 cm lever belts are crafted from durable leather and finished with non-slip suede for the ultimate combination of comfort and support. Available in a range of sizes and colours, these powerlifting belts provide a secure fit that matches your unique style.

Featuring a lever buckle for quick tightening and release, these high-quality weightlifting belts meet the specifications of most powerlifting federations. This makes them suitable for use in powerlifting competitions. 

Gym Benches & Platforms

Maximise stability during your reps to lift heavier with:

• Gym benches: Our flat and adjustable benches use reinforced steel frames and high-density foam to keep you locked in place, ensuring safe, rigid support for every press.

• Lifting platforms: Built for heavy deadlifts, these steel-framed platforms feature rubber mats and a wooden inlay to absorb impact, protect floors and provide a stable, high-performance foundation.

Powerlifting Equipment FAQs

Find answers to common questions about our premium powerlifting training equipment. 

What are the essential powerlifting accessories for a home gym?

Setting up a heavy-duty home gym requires a solid foundation. Anchor your space with home gym racks, specifically power cages or power racks, to safely perform accessory lifts.

Once your base is set, powerlifting gym accessories help you train heavier with confidence and control:

• To protect your body under heavy loads, essential weightlifting accessories like lifting straps, knee wraps and wrist wraps are vital. 

• High-grade knee sleeves and elbow sleeves provide necessary compression for daily training. 

Complete your home gym setup with pull-up and dip bars for essential accessory lifts and upper body conditioning. Discover our full range of weightlifting accessories and elevate your gym design with gear built to handle every heavy session.

What equipment is essential for powerlifting competitions?

Strongman-style powerlifting competitions push athletes to perform beyond static lifts, combining brute strength with moving events like yokes and farmers' walks. Specialised Strongman equipment helps manage heavy loads and helps maintain maximum stability, protecting your core.

Training for a powerlifting competition? Incorporate axles, logs and sandbags in your workout to build functional power. You’ll also need weightlifting accessories like lifting straps to protect your grip, as well as sleeves and wraps to keep your joints secure under pressure.

What are the essential safety measures for heavy barbell training?

Protect your gym flooring during heavy training with bumper plates. Unlike standard cast iron weight plates, these feature a thick protective rubber coating.

This shock-absorbing layer allows you to drop the bar safely without cracking the subfloor. Most lifters prefer these for high-intensity lifts because they dampen noise and offer a controlled bounce.
