Serious Steel Fitness Fractional Plates Calibrated Olympic Change Plate (Complete Set - 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.0 lbs Pairs - Total 5 lbs Set)

Well designed, smooth and high quality iron. I weighed each weight and they are correct down to the ounce.

The weights themselves seem to be of good quality, and using smaller increments than 2.5 lbs. has helped me continue to make progress on the overhead press.However, the main apparent advantage of this product over similar, less expensive sets is that it comes with a little bag to carry the weights in. This bag is not very durable, and it ripped open at one of the seams after a couple months of using it. I sewed it up, but then the other side ripped a couple months later. Now I need to find something else to carry the weights in.I'll add that, if your gym already has 2.5-lb. plates, and you don't intend to make jumps smaller than 1 lb., you can make all the other weight combinations possible with this set using a set of eight 1/2-lb. plates. After using these weights for several months, I think it would be easier to count the number of 1/2-lb. plates I need than to look for the specific sizes I need in this bag.

While these are incredibly useful and have been amazing in getting me through bench press plateaus, I'm very disappointed at how the paint is flaking off in large chunks after only a few months. I was leaving a mess all over the gym floor every time I used them. I would recommend considering other brands before this one.

Small but mighty. Well made fractionally weights. Sometimes your body refuses to make a big step up in strength training. But with these you can sneak past that obstacle. Highly recommended.

A must have for the person serious about gaining strength over time. These plates are well made and look great!

They're incremental weights. They weigh what they're supposed to weigh. Not really much that could possibly be wrong. Maybe, they could be a bit cheaper.

Apply to bar, lift, remove from bar.Great for the SL5x5 program. Maybe you can't go up 5 or 10#. But with these you're always moving forward.They fit on my Rogue Ohio & Xmark EZ curl just fine. They look okay--nothing flashy but then again, they're just plates. I imagine the finish will chip off eventually as these get banged around, but again...so what.

Slightly on the expensive side, but great quality.
