Weight Plates for Small Loading Increments, Olympic Competition Style Coloured Fractional Steel Plates
These weight plates let you make smaller changes to your training load with fractional steel weights from 0.5 kg to 2.5 kg. The Olympic competition style design has a slim profile, with approximate thicknesses of 10–15 mm depending on the plate weight.
Choose individual plates to add a specific weight to your setup, or select the coloured fractional set for two plates of each weight. Each weight has its own colour, making it easier to distinguish the plates when loading: white for 0.5 kg, green for 1 kg, yellow for 1.5 kg, blue for 2 kg and red for 2.5 kg.
