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

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.

First thought was that these are kinda pricey, but made in the US by a small business made me purchase on Black Friday. And I see now they are worth the money. High quality, well made!Such a great addition to my home gym.Now I can go up in weight on all the dumbbells I already have.All my dumbbells are different brands and therefore different sized handles. These work on all of them, some are a looser fit but they still fit without slipping around.They also fit in the inner part of my Olympic barbell, inside the collars (NOT on the 2in sleeve where weights go) so I can see myself using them there as well.Love these and would recommend them!

The media could not be loaded. These are awesome, they attach to my dumbbells quickly and easily and they totally expanded my weight set by double. Currently only had 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30lb dumbbells. Now I have intervals in between for one low cost! Great product. Very durable and made well.

Great product. I can't go up in 5 lb increments working arms & shoulders and reloading the screw on weights is tedious. I saw cheaper ones on Amazon, but they were held closed with rubber/silicone bands. I was afraid the bands would break over time- while lifting. These have a legit spring mechanism holding them shut. More expensive, but better made. Worth it to me!

I already own a 5-10-15-20-25-30-35-40-45-50 dumbbell set with rack, which I paid $780 brand new for. I don't have the room/money to buy the 7.5-12.5-17.5-etc etc fractional dumbbells which are key for me for isolation work with dumbells (bi's tri's shoulder) These fit the bill, tho IMHO these are pricey and would be a better deal in the $75 range. My other nitpick is that it would have been nice at this price to have included a small carry bag so your weights get lost.The pro's for me is that the gym this summer is getting more busy and dumbbells are always being used by others at peak times so I can just use my home gym. For cable exercises, these are easy to add for fractional progressive overloading for isolations for shoulder, tricep, bicep and chest cable exercises.I weighed each one and they are all within a few grams of each other although SLIGHTLY below 1.25# each...but then again, dumbbells aren't that accurate either.

I was looking for additional dumbbells 17.5 and 22.5 and then I saw these and although they are quite expensive I ordered the white that was around $70 at the time and I’m very happy with them. They work great to increase my 15 and 20 lb dumbbells and very easy to use and take up hardly any space. Very high quality. I do think they’re too expensive for what they are when you think of dumbbells that are much heavier and around the same price. If they were more reasonable I’d buy more and I’m sure you’d sell more but sometimes sellers don’t have common sense. Love the product though! If the price isn’t an issue buy them you won’t regret it.

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.

Very well thought out and built product. I've found them to be just the thing for adding incremental weight to dumbbells when I'm stuck and can't move up to the next size. I've tried them on dumbbells as small as 20 lbs. and there's more than enough room for my large-sized hands.
