Description of 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
✅ SET OF 8: This set of Fractional Free Weight Plates includes 2 x 1⁄4 LB, 2 x 1⁄2 LB, 2 x 3⁄4 LB, 2 x 1 LB. Thanks to these lightweight plates you can slowly increase your weight bearing load by putting on an extra 1⁄2 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. ✅ FOR EVERYONE: Low weight increase is good for toning and building muscle tissue, steadily over time. People who are new to the gym or weight training need to be able to easily and quickly increase weights without hurting themselves, while the more experienced weight lifters will need it for that extra push to increase that muscle burn. ✅ USE ON A BARBELL OR SEPARATELY: The plates can be put on a barbell to slowly increase the weight when doing home exercises such as bench press or military press. The plates can also be used separately. For example, you can hold the weight in your hand when doing squats or raise it above your head training at the gym. ✅ NOTE OF CAUTION: Always consult your doctor before starting any fitness program. If you feel pain or discomfort while exercising, discontinue workout immediately and see your medical provider. ✅ LIFETIME WARRANTY: This product is covered by The Friendly Swede's Lifetime Warranty which you can register for on our website.
