44SPORT Olympic Fractional Plates -Set of 1/2 lb Weights (8 Plates. Total Weight: 4lbs)

As described. Works perfectly for my Tib Guy Torque Bar to rehab elbow issues.

These are perfect for going up 1lb at a time. I use them on my olympic barbells, and even on my 1" dumbells. I've ordered about 8 boxes of them now so I don't have to keep switching them around.

I use these with my powerlifting program. My workouts are based on percentages of my one-rep max, so these allow me to be very accurate and go in 1lb increments for any barbell exercise.The plates are very well made and have a solid feel to them. The coating is smooth, even, and durable. They fit well over the bars at my gym; not too loose or too tight.These plates are also VERY accurate.Weight of each plate:226 g = 7.972 oz227 g = 8.007 oz229 g = 8.078 oz227 g = 8.007 oz227 g = 8.007 oz228 g = 8.042 oz228 g = 8.042 oz227 g = 8.007 ozThat's a standard deviation of 0.857 grams (0.030 ounces), which is less than the weight of a paperclip.Overall, these plates are an excellent value for their quality and accuracy at a price lower than that of almost all other such fractional plates on Amazon.

I bought these so I could progress in my weight training by only a pound at a time when I choose to (tricep extensions for example), rather than having to up the weight 2.5 pounds (using two 1-1/4 pound weights). No regrets at all, they enable me to progress in pretty much every workout, and they are very high quality. The price is ridiculous, but this was still the cheapest way to go compared to all the other fractional weights I checked out, especially if you're not competing and are only using them for a purpose like mine, i.e. you don't also need 1/4, 3/4, etc., 1/2 is good enough.

My husband bought these for micro-loading his shoulder press and bench press. He's on the Starting Strength program, which has the lifter add weight to the bar every workout, starting with 10 lbs and quickly shifting to 5 lbs, then eventually 2.5 lbs per workout. These plates allow the lifter to add just one pound, so he can still go up at a rate he can recover from. These are perfect for that use.He's been using them for ~3 months. They fit the olympic barbell well. The paint makes them very durable. Would buy again.

Just unpacked these and am very happy with how they look and feel. I have not tested them in the gym yet, so I cannot say if the finish will hold up well, but I tested them all on my scale and am pleased with the quality for the price.

3 out of the 8 plates won't fit on my Oly bar. Not even close. The other 5 are great. They take a little shimmying to get them on, but they go on. The three though? I had to take another weight plate to knock it off of my bar because it got stuck on the end.

Like this set a lot because you can creep up to the next weight goal by one pound increments, When you've loaded all eight that's 4-lbs, at which time you swap in your 2-1/2ib (=5lbs ) plates and the weight overloading process starts over.And by the way , these are nicely made, fit well and will put up with being clanked around !
