A protective shield for the weight plate and lifting bar of fitness equipment, so that the coating layer on both the weight plate and lifting bar will not be damaged, scratched or scraped off, due to the intended adding or removing of weight plates.

1 . A protective shield used on weight plate and lifting bar, comprising: 
 a. A first flat ring having a first sidewall circumscribing the inner diameter of said ring; and    b. A second flat ring having a second sidewall circumscribing the inner diameter of said second ring, the outside diameter of said second sidewall can be snugly fitted to the inside diameter of said first sidewall, said first and second sidewall having a height equaling the thickness of a weight plate, so that when both rings are fitted to a weight plate, each of the one face of said first and second ring will be fitted against the side of a weight plate, the outside diameter of said first sidewall is in contact with the hole of the weight plate, and the inside diameter of said second sidewall is in contact with the lifting bar.    
   
   
       2 . A protective shield used on weight plate and lifting bar, comprising:
