Plate Loaded Gym Equipment

Select Fitness USA has all the plate-loaded exercise machines you could possibly need to fill up a whole commerical gym, outfit your serious home gym, or anything inbetween.

Plate loaded fitness machines, hence the name, are powered by Olympic weight plates and the force of gravity.

This is opposed to the other type of weight machine, selectorized weight plate machines, which are given their adjustable resistance via a compact stack of weight plates.

Both types of machines have pros and cons, but if you're interested in plate-loaded machines, you've come to the right place.

This style of weight machine aims to provide the same benefit as any other muscle isolation machine while saving some money and adding a new type of muscle contraction to the user's exercise regimen.

Machines like a plate loaded row, lat pulldown, hip thrust, leg press, chest press, bicep curl, and so on are designed to target one muscle or muscle group effectively.

Adding weight resistance precisely to one muscle provides safety, easy overloading, and a more direct way to train any muscle compared to a compound lift that has more risk of injury involving many muscles at once and builds mass all around instead of targeting one area.
