Review on Set Of 8 Olympic Barbell Change Plates By The Friendly Swede - 5 Lb Fractional Micro Weight Plates For Incremental Strength Training And Muscle Building Increases by Jason Masango

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Get a set, NOW. for my opinion

I was running a specific strength program the required me to squat 3x a week and to increase my squat load by 5lbs each time I squatted. So that's a 15lb increase each week. It was getting tough so I invested in microplates so I could still increase the load, but in smaller increments. Instead of adding 15lbs a week to my squat, I'm adding anywhere from 7-14lbs a week which is still increasing my strength but at a more reasonable pace. These things are great

Pros
  • Helps with progressive overload
Cons
  • Increases the likelihood of hitting the weights together during lifts
