Review on Set Of 8 Olympic Barbell Change Plates By The Friendly Swede - 5 Lb Fractional Micro Weight Plates For Incremental Strength Training And Muscle Building Increases by Brett Zhu

These plates came in a sturdy cardboard box. They were smaller than I expected them to be, but I like that because they are very easy to transport.The first thing I did when I got them was weigh them on my food scale. The 1/4 lb plates both weighed 4 oz, the 1/2 lb plates were 8 oz, the 3/4 plates were 12 oz, and the 1 lb plates were 16 oz. So they were all quite accurate.When I received them, there were some smudges on the paint, but I think they will probably come out with a little bit of rubbing alcohol (will update after I try it). Even if they don't come out, no big deal because these are plate weights - not display pieces.I'm really looking forward to using them in my barbell training, especially with overhead press and bench press!
