Every gym includes plates ranging from 2.5 kg to 25 kg. Plates aid in explosive movements and can also be used while performing high intensity interval workouts. Using regular plates helps increase lower back strength because when you lift it from the ground, your posterior chain muscles are engaged, resulting in additional strength.
