Barbell 1 Half 1/2 lb.Fractional Rubber Olympic Weight Plates - 2, 4, 6, or 8 Pc Set

Bought these so I could do 1-2lb increases on my tougher lifts. As a 5'1" female I can't always manage the 5lb increases that most lifting programs recommend. These fractional weights do the trick and are exactly what I wanted, and are a great value for the price. Fit perfectly on my olympic barbell. Very pleased!

You get what you pay for, these are not calibrated so the weight varies from 6.8oz to 8.2. They work for my needs and have enough friction to stay on the bar with out being placed under a lock collar. I used a paint marker to mark the actual weight so I'm able to somewhat evenly place them.

These little weights are a game changer for me. I've been stuck on a couple of my lifts for a few months and these give me the ability to make small, incremental increases, instead of having to jump a whole 5 pounds. If you are OLifter, you know 5 pounds is a pretty big jump for a snatch. Now I can bump the weight up a pound or two and still make progress instead of spinning my wheels. The other thing I love about them as that they are rubber and the inner circle is the perfect width for an Olympic barbell. So I can slide them on outside of the collar as needed and they don't fly off or need to be pushed back down. Not to mention if you drop one on your foot, rubber is better to drop on your foot than metal...

I love these half pound fractional plates. I am 68 years old and do not have a lot of upper body strength. I am working really hard to improve that but cannot jump to 5 pounds at a time on the bench press. These plates are incredible. I can go up a pound at a time and I am no longer at a stall in my training. I would highly recommend these plates. I also use them for squats with a barbell on my shoulders. Thank you so much for making them.

These are great for me. I cannot add 5 pounds at a time so it is nice to be able to increase my weight in small increments. There is a slight smell to them that has not gone away for several weeks. The only reason I subtracted a star is the price is ridiculous! I paid $32 and I think that is outrageous but I couldn't find a more affordable option for my Olympic weights. Otherwise I'm super happy with them.

Great for being able to add just 1 lb for my bench presses to try to increase weight slowly.

Love these small barbell weights. Have helped me tremendously to increase my weight resistance.

Just as described, the plates are rubber. Each plate I received was 7.5 ounces give or take a few tenths of an ounce. Not surprised though because the plates are rubber. That being said I used them and I'm happy!
