## Description

Microloading with platemate is the safe, scientific way to build strength at beginning, intermediate and advanced exercise levels.microloading with platemates is essential at all levels. Beginners are apt to do exercises properly and avoid injury. Intermediates stay motivated because they experience steady progress. Advanced lifters benefit because microloading helps them break through "the plateau" to achieve success at the highest levels of weight training.platemate donuts fit securely over the ends of pro-style dumbbells. Platemates are also versatile. These magnetic add-on weights attach quickly and easily to ends of any iron dumbbells, olympic bars, and stack weight machine plates. platemates are ideal for physical therapy where small increases help patients regain strength without overburdening injured muscles and tendons

Review: I've been using plateMate for 13 years and have bought the donut and hexagon design. These are excellent. The magnet is better protected than previous designs. It sticks like hell to the point that they may be very hard to remove from the dumbbell. Only con for me is the price. I also wish they would make them in 5 pounds as I use them to increase total weight of Nuo adjustable dumbbells.
Review: These PlateMate Microload weights complement and complete my Snode AD80 adjustable dumbbells as if it was made from the same factory. It almost fits perfectly on the ends of the dumbbell. The rubber-coated and adequately magnetized 2.5 to 5 lb weight increments per dumbbell are perfect to fill the 10lb gap. This makes the dumbbells suitable for exercises that require finer increments of weight adjustment, such as arm curls. Adding the weights is as easy as placing them on the ends of the dumbbells, and the magnet will do the rest, and just yank them off to take them off. Snade makes magnetic add-on weights, but they protrude too much, potentially interfering with some exercises, and they're not rubber-coated, which over time will chip away the weight's coating. Sure, the PlateMates come with a premium price, but you would be hard-pressed to find a better quality product.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this one 2.5# plate or a pair of 2.5# plates?**
A: It is two 2.5 plate mates to make it a total of 5 pounds. Great product highly recommend especially if you have dumb bells.

**Q: Can these magnetic weights be stacked on each other?**
A: Hi,

Thank you for your question.  It is not recommended to stack the weights while in use.

**Q: Is each donut 2.5lbs maki g the pair 5lbs?**
A: Good question - I had the same though when I purchased the donuts.  Especially when the shipping weight is listed as 4.8 pounds.  However, each donut IS 2.5 pounds, so the pair weighs 5 pounds.  BTW, they are really nice, strong magnets.  In fact, you may want to leave a portion of the donut off of the object to which you attach it.

**Q: How do you take them off? Pull, slide, or doesnt matter**
A: Pull or peel, I don't slide, usually. The inside diameter doesn't fit over standard olympic bar. I use them on non-coated hex dumbbells.
