Micro Gainz Calibrated Fractional Weight Plate Sets of 2 Plates .25LB-1.25LB (Choose Set)-Designed for Olympic Barbells, Used for Strength Training and Micro Loading

I bought these for my wife because the gym at which she trains does not have plates smaller than 2 1/2 lbs. She's been using them for over a month now and they serve their intended purpose perfectly. They are true to weight, their finish is of good quality, and they of course fit a sleeve how they ought to. If I'd have known about Micro Gainz when I got my Rogue change plates, I'd have bought these instead: they're cheaper, weigh exactly the same, and are made in the USA.

Nice finish on the plates and both weighed out within 2 grams.

It has a lot of knicks and dings along the surface, but the rest is just as expected.

exactly what i needed, good quality finish packaging.. perfect

The media could not be loaded.  I purchased the 1.25 lb set of Micro Gainz fractional weight plates and I am extremely impressed by the quality, packaging, and craftsmanship. These plates are perfect for making incremental jumps on barbell exercises when I just can't make that 5lb or 10lb jump. The plates come well packaged in a branded box that fits them perfectly. I am very impressed that these plates are made right here in the USA. This is important to me because I noticed that most fractional weights on Amazon are just "Alibaba" specials imported from China. The value is huge with these plates. They are less expensive and feature a much higher quality than the Chinese counterparts.The plates themselves appear to be made from powdered metal. This is perfect for 2 reasons. First, they are made using a mold so the weight is dead on everytime. Second, they are very strong and durable. They are coated in a flat black finish which matches all the other plates at the gym. If you are looking to increase your max weight in any exercise or you are looking to break a plateau, these fractional weight plates are by far the best Amazon has to offer.
