Overview
Mutt Wheels are a unique hybrid training tool that combines the functionality of a traditional cast-iron Olympic plate with the versatility of a multi-grip independent implement. Featuring a six-spoke "steering wheel" design, they are engineered for use both on the barbell and for a wide range of off-bar movements. Proudly made in the USA, Mutt Wheels are cast from single-piece iron and feature a skim-cut center hub for seamless compatibility with standard Olympic barbells.

Performance Benefits
Dual-Purpose Design: Functions as a high-quality weight plate for traditional barbell training while serving as a stand-alone tool for curls, shrugs, and tricep extensions.

Enhanced Safety: The "wheel" design makes the plates significantly easier to grip and handle when loading or unloading a bar compared to traditional flat-sided iron plates.
Stackable Storage: Despite the spoke design, the hubs are designed to sit flush, allowing for stable stacking on a bar or storage pin.
Strongman Utility: Excellent for movements like farmers carries or walking lunges where an easy-to-grip weight is required.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning: Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove chalk and sweat.
Rust Prevention: As cast iron implements, avoid leaving them in high-moisture environments. If the finish is scratched to raw iron, a light application of oil can help prevent oxidation.
