Fractional Plates — your secret weapon for hitting new personal bests
Listen, buddy — I get it. You never thought that you’d need smaller weight plates than 2.5lbs. After all, change plates cover your bases pretty well already.
But haven’t you wondered why your arm and shoulder strength always lag behind? Sure, these are smaller muscle groups than those in your legs. But their lack of progress mostly boils down to getting pummelled by the same loading scheme used to progress squats and deadlifts, by adding 2.5-5lbs per side.
Instead of forcing 5-10lb jumps on overhead presses and biceps curls, these lifts should be loaded in a more sensible way — by adding weight in smaller increments of 1-4lbs.

Michael CABreak Through Plateaus!
Bought these a few weeks ago and they have been an absolute game changer for helping me bust through plateaus! If you're like me and have a hard time progressing lifts like bench or OHP then I'd highly recommend this product! Great quality for the price. An underrated home gym product in my opinion.

United StatesGood set of fractional plates
Purchased this set of plates and have been mostly pleased with their performance. These have been within their stated weight tolerances and have been useful for their intended purpose. Haven't tried them as ninja throwing stars yet.. but hopefully soon! I wish there was an option where these came in a set from 0.25 through 1.5 or 2.5lb instead of all at 0.5 lb. Also these would be great if they were steel cut instead of cast iron. That would make them thinner and have a few more use cases . Overall a good useful set of frac plates.
