The Micro Gainz Olympic Size Kilogram Fractional Weight Plates Set of 4 Steel Plates is designed to help lifters achieve precise incremental progress in their training. Fractional plates, also known as micro plates or change plates, are small weight plates that allow for minor adjustments to the total weight on a barbell or dumbbell. This set includes two .25KG steel micro plates and two .50KG steel micro plates. These plates are particularly useful for overcoming plateaus in strength training, as they enable gradual increases in weight when larger jumps, such as 2.5 or 5 pounds, might be too challenging.
Each plate in this set is made from hot rolled 1/4 inch American steel, ensuring durability and a robust construction. The .25KG plates have a diameter of 3.75 inches, while the .50KG plates have a diameter of 4.875 inches. The manufacturing process involves precision laser cutting, contributing to the accuracy of the plates. These plates are accurate to their specified weight by +/-.05LB, which translates to approximately +/- 5 grams, meeting International Power Lifting Federation Guidelines for weight accuracy.
For easy identification and a clean aesthetic, each plate features a laser etched logo and weight. The plates are designed to fit seamlessly on 2 inch Olympic weight lifting bars, making them compatible with most standard gym equipment. They are also known to slide easily onto barbells without scratching the equipment. A matte black powder coated finish provides a durable and long-lasting exterior. Proudly made in the U.S.A., these Micro Gainz fractional plates are a reliable addition for those looking to fine-tune their progressive overload and enhance their strength training regimen.
