NEW 1.25LB Dumbbell Fractional Weight Plates 2 or 4 Piece- Designed for Dumbbell Training and Micro Loading, Made in USA

These micro gainz weight plates are awesome! They really help with incremental increases for my bench presses. I have also added all four to my 40 pound dumbbell and still manage to get both of my hands clasped around the bar to make a 45 pound dumbbell. The weights stay in place snuggly as well.

I really like these, each is 1.25lbs, so the pair together add 2.5lbs to a dumbbell giving me the chance to increase by smaller amounts for some muscles for which I don't need or cant increase to the next 5lbs increment, like shoulders or triceps. These are a really good size, they are not bigger than the head of most dumbbells so they don't slide forward as much as the larger ones that increase the weight by 5lbs. I purchased both and noticed this when I was testing them. They do slide sometimes but not as much, since the dumbbell bar is not straight, it has and indent at both ends which causes the weight plate to slide forward a bit, I managed to fix this by adding a neoprene cover to prevent calluses and it also helped by pushing the plates apart. They also reduce the width of the handle on the dumbbell which might prove cumbersome for people with larger hands, but for me it didn't matter since I have small hands. The reason I gave it 5 stars is because they are well made, quality weights and they have worked great for me, but I included all this information since they are not cheap and so other people can asses if they will work for them.

Good kit. Would recommend if you want to maximise your progressive overload gains.

I love these, they are one of my fav gym items as they allow me to progress my strength. It’s sometimes hard jumping up 2kg to the next weight so these are ideal, I get so many people ask me what these are and others love the idea of them too. Easy to use and very robust. I love that they clip onto the dumbbell easily.

I find it very useful to push myself further in the gym, mainly because my gym doesn't have any 1.25 plates. It works well for barbells too especially because it can attach to the lifting part and add weight that way. So it works for exercises like: Squats dead lifts, barbell curls etc. In retrospect, I should have gotten the 4 piece set, as now I am limited in using one dumbbell at a time with the 2.5 increments, or two dumbbells at a 1.25 increment. I do however plan on getting a second pair soon. It is very pricy but you are paying for the ability to progressively overload consistently when those 1.25 are always lost, or too damn small to find most of the time! Cons: Be sure to get a bag to transport from exercise to exercise, to go from one part of the gym to another as you'll be lugging it around. Also, open them on and then attached them, I have scratched the black coating on mine as a result. They are black so keep an eye on them as I find myself leaving them attached. This product is has shown itself to be very versatile in the gym and I feel like I am consistently lifting more and more weight as a result.
