Learn More About our Fractional Plates

Fractional plates are traditionally used when an athlete is making linear progression in their lifts, putting more and more weight on the bar week by week. They are also helpful to bring a bar up to RX weight, e.g., a 15kg "women's" bar actually weighs about 33 pounds, so a pair of 1# weights brings it to 35#. Additionally, individuals rehabbing use fractional plates.
