Among all sports shells, the bar is particularly respected. One of its elements is the discs. There are many options for these products, but the so -called Olympic. Their parameters are very strictly defined, therefore, in any gym, every countries of the world are exactly the same.
The design of the Olympic discs, their size and shape are verified to the smallest details. Even the color is of great meaning. The fact is that by the way the disk is painted, you can immediately understand how much it weighs. If we take into account this fact, you can certainly say that such discs for the Olympic rod [1] are very convenient to use.
Athletes themselves call such disks “pancakes”. The peculiarity of the Olympic pancakes is also that they are rubberized. It is by the color of the rubber that you can find out the weight of the disk. In addition, such products also have other advantages. In particular, the Olympic disc is less exposed to the athlete in the danger of injury.
The advantage of the rubberized layer is also that the likelihood of damage to the platform or any flooring is reduced. Therefore, you can fearlessly throw a bar equipped with the Olympic discs after the “capture” of weight or an unsuccessful approach.
