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 Kristopher Tight

Good product for the price. A couple were off by a little, but not enough to be noticeable on the bar. One of the best things about them is that they are steel instead of rubber or polyurethane, so they slide on and off the bar very easily making for very fast weight changes and speeding up the workout accordingly. Plus they should be much more durable than rubber plates.The one negative for me is that they are only sold in sets. I wanted to buy some additional 1 pound plates - six more to be exact. That would enable fast and accurate fractional weight changes up to 5 pounds per side or 10 pounds total; but the company told me they only sell them in full sets including the fractional plates. I don't need more fractional plates to accomplish what I want, just some more accurate 1 lb plates. The cost of a full set makes that impractical. I'd have to buy 3 more full sets just to get 6 more 1lb plates. Oh,well.
