As a weightlifter who is nearing the end of the novice stage, these are just what I need to wring the last drops of progress from my program. The plates spin easily on the Olympic barbell, and appear to be of good quality. The only odd thing was that I received GREEN plates. They are a very pleasant grey-green, though, and now I have both size and color on my side to indicate that these are my own plates and I'm not actually stealing from the gym, so I'm happy with the color as well as the plates themselves. Weightlifter's Warehouse also is an excellent seller.

I couldn't find any 1.25 lb plates anywhere. I checked all my local "sports" shops, Sears, pretty much anywhere and everywhere that sold weight plates and other fitness accessories. No one had these plates. Thankfully, this company had them, and they were pretty cheap too. I ordered on a Wednesday, and they arrived the following Monday, no "extra" shipping required. And unlike a lot of other products I've purchased on Amazon, this one was EXACTLY as described, and good quality.

Great tool for keeping your progression going. This is just what I needed. Can't find this in a store anywhere.

This plate is a great addition for miro loading,aka adding weight in small increments to any bar or workout machine

Not much to say, they are weight plates! LOL They werent rusty and fit perfectly on an olympic bar.

Quality item as promised, and then some. This was the best customer service I have received in a long, long time... thanks for everything, Bill!

Many people don't realize how much 2.5 pounds is when you are working near your max. A smaller increment is a very useful tool.

The plates are exactly as described and fit on my olympic bar. I thought shipping was a little expensive since they used the flatrate USPS envelope. (Shipping was more than the product, but I couldnt find the product locally.) The plates did arrive quickly.

I was looking to get something a little cheaper than plate mates, or a plate magnet to assist in low increment increases in my weight training....and this was the perfect solution!!!! The shipment arrived quicker than I expected, the weights were exactly as pictured, and the seller provided great communication with me.

These 1.25 lb weights are great, just remember to buy 2 pair if you are using them with dumbells.
