Micro Gainz - Olympic Size Fractional Weight Plates Pair of Yellow .50Lb Plates

The set includes two yellow .50 pound micro plates. These plates are designed to enhance your weightlifting progression. They are made from sintered metal, ensuring a durable and high-quality product.

These micro plates are proudly made in Pennsylvania, USA. They are engineered to be accurate to their specified weight, with a tolerance of +/- 5 grams. This precision is important for lifters who require exact weight increments in their training. The plates also meet the International Power Lifting Federation (IPF) guidelines for weight accuracy, which is a testament to their quality and suitability for serious training. The IPF is a governing body that sets rules and regulations for powerlifting competitions to ensure fair play and maintain the sport's integrity.

The design of these plates allows them to fit seamlessly onto 2 inch Olympic weightlifting bars. They feature a high-quality yellow powder coat finish, which not only provides a distinct look but also adds to their durability. Each plate has a diameter of 3.5 inches.

Micro plates, also known as fractional plates, are a valuable tool for lifters of all experience levels, from beginners to advanced athletes. They enable small, precise weight increments, which are crucial for consistent progress in strength training. This method of adding small amounts of weight is called micro loading.

One of the primary benefits of using fractional plates is the ability to break through training plateaus. When lifters reach a point where increasing the weight by standard increments (like 2.5 pounds or 5 pounds) becomes too challenging, micro plates allow for smaller, more manageable increases. This gradual progression helps the body adapt safely to new loads and continues to stimulate muscle growth and strength gains over time.

For beginners, micro plates offer a simple way to gradually increase strength without drastic changes, helping to avoid plateaus early on. Intermediate and expert lifters can also benefit by fine-tuning their progression and continuing to make gains even when larger jumps in weight are difficult. This systematic and incremental approach to increasing demands on muscles is aligned with the principle of progressive overload, a fundamental concept in strength training.
