4 Piece Olympic Fractional Weight Plates Set 1.25LB 2.5LB Carbon Steel Change Plates for Weightlifting

One of the downsides of going to a cheaper Globo-Gym, is that sometimes equipment, especially stuff that's easy to pocket such as barbell clips and incremental weights go missing.It meant that if I wanted to progress on a lift, I'd have to go up a ten whole pounds-- (and that's if I could find 5 pound plates!).Incremental plates are a great training aid-- and this comes with not only 2.5 pound plates, but 1.25 pounds.I appreciate that their shape, a kind of oblong square, which makes it easier to pack into those vertical bags that are becoming more popular in the gym. It also means that nobody can reasonably confuse them for plates the gym would provide. I also appreciate the Molle zippered pouch they provide for the weights. I felt the price was far more reasonable than tiny rubberized plates would have been.I typically use these on leg day when I'm doing deadlifts-- but I also will use them for ez-bar curls and the occasional bench press. They fit just fine.One thing though, I haven't put them on a scale to measure exactness, but I'm fairly sure that they're accurate-- I'm not a competition lifter so if something is an ounce or two off it's not the end of the world.I've had these for a few months, used them a time or two. I can't tell you how durable they are since they aren't utilized all the time, but it's easy enough to tell which plates are which based on size.

The product was reasonably priced. I like the square shape. It makes it clear that they are MINE. The carry bag is a nice idea, but all four weights is a bit much for the zipper. It's clear that the zipper strains to close. I dropped the weights in the carry bag and that didn't turn out well. Some of the powder coating came off 2 of the weights, the zipper broke, and the fabric split a bit. All in all, I like the product, but don't buy it just because of the bag.

These are great. I have some Kensui clubs that take weights, and these are smaller than other plates and a nice shape, so they work very well for this purpose. They will also be handy for micro adjustments for bench and overhead barbell pressing. The bag is very well made so if you need these in a commercial gym, you'll love it. It also has all kinds of straps and such, so I will use it for rucking. They are exactly as pictured and a pleasure to use.
