Micro Gainz Olympic Fractional Weight Plates
--

Micro Gainz sells a set of 8 multi-color olympic weight plates.

These come in increments of 0.25 lbs, 0.50 lbs, 0.75 lbs, and 1 lbs

At first glance this may not seem like a lot of weight but when you've hit a plateau, you won't be able to make big jumps in weight.

What Are Fractional Weight Plates?
--

Fractional plates, also referred to as micro plates or change plates, are very small weight plates that range from 0.25 lbs up to 1 lbs.

They allow you to change the weight on a bar or dumbbell by very small increments, known as micro loading.

May seem subtle but the small increase in weight makes it easier to bust past plateaus than going up by 5 lbs increments or higher.

Fractional weight plates add a small amount of weight to your lifts so that you can continue to progressively overload exercises.

Because a 1 lbs heavier lift is more important than failing lifts with 5 extra lbs that you can't lift.

Do Fractional Weight Plates Work?
--

Yes they do!

Even though the weights are light, micro loading is still progressive overload.

By adding weight in tiny increments, fractional plates give you the ability to make constant progress every time you train.

Fractional Weight Plates for Dumbbells
--

Micro Gainz also sells micro plates for dumbbells.

Only set of dumbbells I’ve seen that comes with small weight increments is the PowerBlock adjustable dumbbells.

But even then, their increments are by 2.5 lbs, you can’t go any lower than that.

Micro Gainz vs Rogue LB Fractional Plates
--

Rogue also sells fractional weight plates in both lbs and kgs.

Besides the higher price tag, are Rogue’s fractional plates better?

Looking at some of the specs on Rogue’s site, their micro plates have a rubber coating that’s supposed to give them a tight fit around barbells.

I feel Micro Gainz’s plate fit just like regular iron weight plates without any issues.

Rogue’s micro plates have a tolerance of +/- 10 grams, which means Micro Gainz’s plates are more accurate (+/- 5 grams).

So are Rogue’s fractional worth the $30 difference? I don’t think so.

Are Micro Gainz Fractional Weight Plates Worth It?
--

If you like consistent progress on your lifts especially as you get stronger and you start to plateau, yes they are worth it.
