Micro Gainz Dumbbell Fractional 1.25lb Weight Plate, Ideal for Micro Loading, (Choose Color) 4 Piece Fractional Weight Plates, Designed for Dumbbell Training, Made In USA

These are a god-send in the gym! I can finally turn those 15 lb dumbbells into 17 1/2 lbs. Also, I was able to work up from 20 lb bicep curls with just one plate (making a 21.25 lb dumbbell) and in time was able to add 2 plates (to make a 22.50 lb dumbbell). As a middle-age woman, there is no way I could ever go from a 20 lb dumbbell to a 25 lb dumbbell on bicep curls. But with these plates, I may get to that 25 lb dumbbell some day!I purchased the regular finish previously (on another site) and needed to return. When I repurchased, I paid extra to purchase the dip-coated finish and I like it so much better! I don't regret the extra money for the purchase. I have now purchased them twice (2 sets of the 4-set) so my husband and I can both workout using them at the same time.

If you’re reading this review, you already know the problem this solves. And it does so perfectly. Skip the cheaper magnetic solutions, wrist weights, etc. Buy once cry once. This works on all dumbbells, fixed barbells, standard barbells, and curl bars.

Fits dumbbells at my gym perfectly and makes my progression much smoother.

Not wild about the price, but the quality is great! Try going up FIVE pounds at a time when doing laterals! Gotta have 'em. Found a reasonable bag to bring them into my gym, but note to manufacturer: please consider making a carrying bag for these.

Those are fantastic if you’re looking for progressive overload, but can’t jump in 5lbs increments…. I have a set of 1.25Lbs and one of 2.5lbs. This allows me to move on dumbbells from 40 to 41.25 and so forth rather than the only option I have on my dumbbells of 45… you just add to the handle and you’re good to go. It adds 3 increments in between each 5lbs increments (1.25-2.5-3.75).

Possibly one of the best purchases I ever have made in 8 years of the gym business.

These weights are perfect for adding a bit more weight when needed. I put them on dumbbells and barbells. I keep them in my gym bag and I use then frequently.

I really like these, each is 1.25lbs, so the pair together add 2.5lbs to a dumbbell giving me the chance to increase by smaller amounts for some muscles for which I don't need or cant increase to the next 5lbs increment, like shoulders or triceps. These are a really good size, they are not bigger than the head of most dumbbells so they don't slide forward as much as the larger ones that increase the weight by 5lbs. I purchased both and noticed this when I was testing them. They do slide sometimes but not as much, since the dumbbell bar is not straight, it has and indent at both ends which causes the weight plate to slide forward a bit, I managed to fix this by adding a neoprene cover to prevent calluses and it also helped by pushing the plates apart. They also reduce the width of the handle on the dumbbell which might prove cumbersome for people with larger hands, but for me it didn't matter since I have small hands. The reason I gave it 5 stars is because they are well made, quality weights and they have worked great for me, but I included all this information since they are not cheap and so other people can asses if they will work for them.
