### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Indispensable!
  

*by C***U on Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2011*

I wish I had thought of this! These PlateMates (and their 1.25-lb big brothers) enable me to progress in weight in most of my exercises nearly every workout (even if it is only 5/8 or 1.25 lbs). I started out rehabilitating a shoulder injury. Micro-loading makes it a LOT easier to do that for rehab work, but these are also useful for pure strength or bodybuilding exercises, too. Read Rippetoe's book "Starting Strength" for a good discussion on linear progression and micro-loading.These are pricey, but they are so convenient that you will not regret the purchase. For bi-lateral dumbbell exercises you will need (at a minimum) 2 pairs of the 1-1/4 lb plates, and 2 pairs of the 5/8 lb plates. This will enable you to go up in 1-1/4 lb increments. And if you want to go up in 5/8-lb increments, you will actually need 3 pairs of the 5/8-lb PlateMates. If you have two pairs of 1.25-lb PlateMates and a two pairs of 5/8-lb PlateMates you have the ability to do bi-lateral work starting from 5/8 lb up to 3-3/4 lb using only the plate-mates. Which means you don't need to purchase 3-lb, 8-lb, or 12-lb dumbbells.These will not work with rubber-covered dumbbells. Good Luck and Happy Lifting!

### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    The magnets are just not strong enough
  

*by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2011*

I'm very disappointed because I can't use these at all because they just don't have enough sticking power.  The issue is my gym has a rubber coating on their weights and the magnets aren't strong enough to stick to the weights over this coating.  So, they are completely useless to me.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    The do the trick
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2013*

Great for microloading.  Easy on.  Easy off.  My beef is that you're paying a lot of money for some magnets.
