These PlateMates (and their 1.25-lb big brothers) enable me to progress in weight in most of my exercises nearly every workout (even if it is only 5/8 or 1.25 lbs). I started out rehabilitating a shoulder injury. Micro-loading makes it a LOT easier to do that for rehab work, but these are also useful for pure strength or bodybuilding exercises, too. Read Rippetoe's book "Starting Strength" for a good discussion on linear progression and micro-loading.These are pricey, but they are so convenient that you will not regret the purchase. For bi-lateral dumbbell exercises you will need (at a minimum) 2 pairs of the 1-1/4 lb plates, and 2 pairs of the 5/8 lb plates. This will enable you to go up in 1-1/4 lb increments. And if you want to go up in 5/8-lb increments, you will actually need 3 pairs of the 5/8-lb PlateMates. If you have two pairs of 1.25-lb PlateMates and a two pairs of 5/8-lb PlateMates you have the ability to do bi-lateral work starting from 5/8 lb up to 3-3/4 lb using only the plate-mates. Which means you don't need to purchase 3-lb, 8-lb, or 12-lb dumbbells.These will not work with rubber-covered dumbbells. Good Luck and Happy Lifting! ### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars The magnets are just not strong enough *by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2011* I'm very disappointed because I can't use these at all because they just don't have enough sticking power. The issue is my gym has a rubber coating on their weights and the magnets aren't strong enough to stick to the weights over this coating. So, they are completely useless to me. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars The do the trick *by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2013* Great for microloading. Easy on. Easy off. My beef is that you're paying a lot of money for some magnets. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/1769175-micro-loading-5-8-pound-hex-weight-plate-1-pair](https://www.desertcart.at/products/1769175-micro-loading-5-8-pound-hex-weight-plate-1-pair) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
