Tiny Plates, Big Help

The plates are color coded and all the same diameter. I have been training with weights for 51 years and when I began the smallest plate available was 2.5 lbs. Unfortunately 5 lbs. was often too much weight to add in a single jump. With these well-made, nicely painted and FLAT micro plates I add 1 to 1.5 lbs. each workout and keep the reps the same. Many times I'll add 1/2 lb. to the bar for the last set or two just as a preview to the next workout. It is fun and before you know it you have increased your exercise weight (and new PR of course) by 5, 6, 7 pounds or more. They are worth the money and The Friendly Swede is an upstanding company with real customer service.

Pros

Comes in a set of 8 for easy weight distribution

Cons

May be too challenging for some users to handle safely
