Type of review

I recently switched from the Bigger Leaner Stronger program to Rippetoe's Starting Strength. I had hit what seemed to be insurmountable plateaux and after my switch all was well for a while, but then the gains started to slow down. In followed Rip's advice and got these fractional plates. They came in a nice little box and are well made. The weights are pretty accurate and the coating seems to be some kind of enamel or epoxy. While it seems to be a high quality coating, it isn't a thick rubber…

Pros
  • Lightweight for easy handling
Cons
  • Can cause irritation and calluses on the hands

Shipped in a timely manner and working well. They fit per perfectly on the bar. The plates look very nice and the paint seems to be very durable. As long as I don't loose them, they should last a life time! ;)

Pros
  • Helps build muscle mass effectively
Cons
  • Cannot be used for cardio or other exercises

Exactly what the label says

They look great, they shipped quickly, they fit Olympic threaded bars as expected, they haven't dinged when I dropped them on the floor twice, so far very happy with these weights.

Pros
  • Increases grip strength
Cons
  • Limited aesthetic appeal compared to other gym equipment

Fit perfectly on olympic bars at gym

Fit perfectly on the Olympic bars at my gym. I like that they are colored so it doesn't look like I am stealing plates when I put them in my backpack. Definitely buy some clips to use with these. Great purchase, I use them so I can add weight every time I go to the gym

Pros
  • ✅ SET OF 8: This set of Fractional Free Weight Plates includes 2 x ¼ LB, 2 x ½ LB, 2 x ¾ LB, 2 x 1 LB. Thanks to these lightweight plates you can slowly increase your weight bearing load by putting on an extra ½ LB to 5 LB. The plates have 2-inch center holes and will fit on Olympic barbells and 1-inch barbells with an Olympic sleeve adapter.
Cons
  • Can be difficult to attach and remove from the barbell
