A Plate Loaded Equipment uses bumper plates on a loadable weight pole to create resistance for exercise. These machines are typically used for upper and lower body strength training and have a lot of benefits over traditional stack machines. These machines are a popular choice for commercial gyms, PT studios and home gyms. They offer the user a range of resistance options and are fairly cost-efficient as users can use their own Olympic weight plates across several machines rather than purchasing new ones.
The main benefit of these machines over selectorised strength machines is the ability to customise how much weight you are using. They allow you to load and unload the plates as required up to a set maximum limit, whereas selectorised equipment has pre-selected weight stacks that require a pin to be inserted to use them.
Full-Body Workouts with Plate Loaded Equipment: Maximizing Efficiency
Another advantage of this type of machine is that they allow you to perform single arm, single leg or dual muscle movements which can be difficult on many selectorized strength machines. They are also very versatile and can be used by beginners and professional bodybuilders alike.
