Product Description

Product 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 Hex attaches to weights securely with three superstrong magnets. The versatile design fits solid-poured dumbbells, Olympic bars, power blocks, and stack weight machines. PlateMates are ideal for physical therapy where small increases help patients regain strength without overburdening injured muscles and tendons.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Little Gems", June 23, 2008
By dumbbell (sunny So. Cal.) - See all my reviews
I was introduced to the concept of "microloading" through the writings of Stuart McRobert Build Muscle Lose Fat Look Great: Everything You Need to Know to Transform Your Body(which I highly recommend). Previously, when weight training, I would work up to my best lifting poundages and would remain there indefinately. I now cycle my training intensity to build a gaining monentum troughout the cycle. As I reach my previous best poundages I make use of these "little gems" to nudge myself beyond prior sticking points in weight. I own both sizes of the PlateMate hexagonal weights(2pr. ea. of the 1 1/4lb'ers & the 5/8lb'ers). I own a complete set of hexagonal dumbells from 5lbs. to 50lbs. in 5lb. increments. Sometimes that 5lb. jump (10lbs. between the 2 'bells) is quite substantial. For instance on strict DB curls I would master the 15lb. 'bells and move up to the 20lb'ers where my form would completely break down to "cheat" the weight up out of necessity. I had always wished that someone would make an 18lb. 'bell. Now I just slap on a pr. of 1 /14lb PlateMates on ea. of my 15lb'ers and voila, 17 1/2 pound dumbbells. I'll even add the 5/8lb PlateMates to the outside of the 1 1/4lb units. Now I have 18 3/4lb. 'bells. You can see how in this manner the Jump from 15lb to 20lb now becomes something achievable through manageable, small increments of progressive weights. My only negative observation would be the lack of a 1 7/8lb. PlateMate. When stacking the small one onto the big one it makes for a pretty wide overall package and care must be taken during certain lifts to avoid knocking off the little ones. (They have some type of coating, maybe rubber, that makes the magnets hold a little weaker when stacked in this manner.) Overall experience was very satisfying, and I highly recommend this product to anyone interested in gaining strength or muscle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great add-on, July 17, 2007
These little beauties are rubberized and stick to your metal dumbbells with no problem. I was able to attach one to each end of the dumbbell, and remove them with no problem. They are strong enough to stick to each other for storage through the rubberized coating, so I presume they would stick to rubberized dumbbells just as well.
A great tool to add a little extra weight to help you break through those plateaus.

5.0 out of 5 stars Plate Mate Hex 1.25 lb pair, August 14, 2009
By JJ (Michigan USA) - See all my reviews
Great product. My wife and I like the ability to change the weight of our dumbbells. Sometimes the 5 lb difference is to much. So by adding the Plate Mates to them only increases them by 2.5 lbs. Our dumbbells are all solid hex and the weights stuck to them with no problems. We have been using them for all kinds of exercises. We highly recommend.

Love, love, love these! I'm a small woman attempting to build strength, but a weight increase increment of 5 lbs is too much for me in most cases. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Plate Mates good enough, but not perfect
We need to microload in weighttraining, especially for advanced dumbbell training. Plate Mates are great for that, although in my gym the plates tend not to stick to the dumbbells... Read more
