Exoplate™ Setup Guide
1. Product Features
■ All-in-One Design – Replace an entire rack of plates with one compact system.
■ Drop-Set Ready – Change weights in seconds without breaking your rhythm.
■ Turn & Press™  Locking System – A stainless-steel pressure-fit bolt that locks securely by turning and pressing into place. Fast, simple, and 100% secure.
■ Cast Iron + Steel Construction – Built to last a lifetime, zero plastic.
■ Slim Profile – Saves space in your home gym or training area.
■ Made in North America – Precision-engineered and laser-welded.
■ Olympic Bar Compatibility – Fits all 2" Olympic bars. 
2. How It Works
1. Turn the stainless bolt to align it with the receiver hole.
2. Press and thread until the pressure fit locks securely in place. 3. Lift — you're ready for your next set. 
■ The Turn & Press ™ system uses a precision-fit stainless bolt that locks by pressure and interlocking fit, ensuring maximum safety and stability during drop sets and heavy lifting.
3. Why It’s Different
- Traditional plates are slow to change, noisy, and take up space.
- Adjustable dumbbells don’t fit Olympic bars and can’t handle heavy lifting.
- Exoplate ™ combines the best of both worlds:
→ The raw strength of solid iron + the flexibility of modular training.
→ Designed specifically for drop sets and barbell work, not just convenience. 
4. Manufacturing & Quality
- Precision-engineered and laser-welded in North America.
- Each plate is individually tested for accuracy and safety.
- The stainless Turn & PressTM system guarantees durability and secure locking. - Quality control and assembly are fully managed in North America.
