Micro Gainz Dumbbell Fractional 2.5 lb Weight Plate, Ideal for Micro Loading, (Choose Color) 2 Piece Fractional Weight Plates, Designed for Dumbbell Training, Made In USA

I’ve already bought to sets of the 2.5 lb plates. Great to use at home or even take it to the gym.

These have been a great product to get me over my weight lifting plateaus!

They work great. They’re just really expensive. It’s turns my 60’s into 65’s which is awesome. Or you can look at it like, I just spent $80 for 5 pounds of weight.

Works exactly as I had hoped to add 2.5 pound intervals to my CAP dumbbells. For example, taking a 10 pound dumbbell to 12.5 pounds is a lot easier to manage than taking it right up to 15 pounds. The sides of your hands will be touching these plates, but I've never found it to interfere with the motion of an exercise.

Great product that works exactly as intended. My gym only has 10lb barbell increments so this is perfect for hitting the weight in between.

I don’t normally write product reviews, but these are so clever and so well-made I had to give a quick shout out. I use the new Bill adjustable dumbbells so there is not a lot of space for your hand and anything else. Shown here are the 2.5 pound weights, which fit perfectly with plenty of room for my hand. I did purchase the 1.25 pound weights originally thinking I could get two of them on there, but it was too tight. I’m sure this wouldn’t be an issue with a standard non-adjustable dumbbell. They are super thin, discreet, easy to carry in a gym bag. They have a spring loaded mechanism that prevents them from spinning or slipping on the handle as well. A bit pricey but considering it effectively gives you incremental dumbbells across your entire weight stack, for me it was a good investment.

I bought these as my gym doesn’t have incremental weight for dumbbells of 100lbs+ (ie: 100, then 110, then 120, 130, 140, etc - no 5lb increments in between). I wanted to love these, but, unfortunately on dumbbells of this size the micro gainz incremental weights barely fit to the point that there’s a real danger of them falling off mid-set (it almost smacked me in the face during incline dumbbell press when on 120lbs dumbbells). It’s also worth noting that these “alter” your grip on the dumbbell itself so you may need to adjust as it could feel awkward at first. Lastly, and it’s likely due to them barely fitting on larger sized dumbbells, they were often pinching and scraping and pinching the skin along my thumb, index finger, and even part of my wrist. I put these on smaller 60lbs dumbbells just to see how they fit, and they fit much better and seem to be secure, however, that’s not what I needed them for unfortunately. Because they seemingly work well on smaller sized dumbbells I’m not going to trash the product or give it 1 star, but I do wish to warn others who are in my situation and wanting these for heavier weights. I believe these may work better and be more secure with some-type of ratchet & lock design rathet than being spring-loaded.

It’s really easy to use where you just attach it to the dumbbell. I also used it on barbells cuz I was able to attach it from the interior part even though the bars outside the handles are much thicker and don’t really fit.

These work very well with my wake adjustable dumbbells. I flip them upside down and clip these where the empty weight spots are. They turn my 50lb with 10lb increments adjustable dumbbell into one with 5 lb increments without affecting the grip portion.

El diseño es increíble, quedan perfecto en las mancuernas y me ha permitido incrementar peso de manera muy eficiente.

Very pricey and they only work on weights heavier then 40 lbs so no good for me as my heaviest is a 40 was wanting to use these to go in between all my weights 😳
