About this product
This unbranded pair of 1.25-pound donut-shaped weight plates is designed for micro loading, allowing small incremental increases to your barbell. Perfect for strength training where precise progression is needed, these compact plates fit standard 1-inch bars. At $78.68, they offer a specialized solution for advanced lifters wanting to break through plateaus with minimal weight jumps.
Our take
I grabbed these micro plates to add tiny weight increments to my lifts. The 1.25-pound donut shape is compact and fits my standard barbell fine. They're well-made for the price, though $78 feels steep for just a pair of small plates. If you need micro loading to progress on overhead press or curls, these do the job, but casual lifters might find standard 2.5-pound plates more cost-effective. The unbranded nature doesn't bother me, but I wish they were cheaper.
