The Platemate Brick patented design is engineered to work seamlessly with both steel and cast iron plates, as well as weight stacks. This innovative tool facilitates microloading, offering a safe and scientific approach to strength building for individuals at all exercise levels, from beginners to advanced athletes.
Microloading with Platemate is a precise method that allows for small, incremental increases in weight. This technique is particularly beneficial for advanced lifters, as it can help them overcome "the plateau," enabling continued progress and success in their weight training regimens. The ability to make minute adjustments in resistance can be crucial for breaking through strength barriers.
Beyond advanced training, Platemates are also an ideal solution for physical therapy applications. The small, controlled increases in weight provided by microloading allow patients to gradually regain strength without overstressing injured muscles and tendons. This gentle progression supports a safer and more effective rehabilitation process.
