This may trigger some here, but long live 2.5lbs

Fractional plates are awesome.

I don't care, freely use the 2.5's and I take my 1.25's with me to the gym on days I need them. Also have some awesome little dumbbell fractionals in 1.25 lb increments. Whatever works to stay on a progression plan.

I might need some of these. I've been stuck on 145x2 on OHP for 3 weeks. Might need to move to 142.5 just to get that third rep I'm chasing.

If you can't get your hands on 1.25s, 1 pound ankle weights work good in a pinch.

tell me you don't progressive overload without telling me you don't progressive overload.

Used them once in my 28yr gym career.

I ignored them as well for close to 20 years

I did not join the 1000lbs until I started using them.

Those plates look so “manly” compared to some of our YMCA’s old flat sets. There are no slots to easily grab them and barely a lip. I’ll get a pic tomorrow.

Except when someone hides them on the squat racks behind a bunch of 5s and 10s.

I use them all the time.

I have me a personal set of microgainz 1.25 lbers

I only use this on a max lift day, to go 2.5lbs heavier than the posted max lift. A win is a win.

My 10s are my change plates.


JK I have some 1.25s

Just wait till you get a pair of 1.25s
