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 Dhoal Black

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Most affordable; great tool.

I have been stuck at a 280x10 bench for months. These arrived a couple days ago, and last night was my first chest session; I successfully repped 282x10. It might be a small increase, but I look forward to fighting for every pound. While I'm sure that someone just getting into weight training would find these helpful, I think these will be a fantastic addition to any experienced lifter's home gym (or even a gym bag, if you have a membership somewhere, as the total weight of the set is only 5lbs). If you have plateaued mid-program, or are feeling stuck overall, get these fractional plates. The Friendly Swede's seem to be the most affordable available. Bonus, aesthetically, they look great.

Pros
  • Gives you control over smaller increments of weight
Cons
  • Can be challenging to find in stores
