Plate mates magnetic weight plates for dumbbellsPlateMates with its 1.25 lbs Microloads allows you to enjoy a safer, more productive weightlifting experience." Ken Benoit founder of PlateMate. What You Need To Know About PlateMates! Q: What if the 30 lb weight is too light, but the 35 lb provides too much resistance? A: Use a pair of 1.25 lb PlateMates to increase your weight load more gradually. It's much safer too because you will reduce your chance of injury. Q: How are PlateMates attached? A: PlateMates are not bolted onto weights like standard plates. They fit securely onto the end of a weight thanks to a carefully designed configuration of super strong magnets. PLEASE NOTE - Do not bang weights. Although the magnetic attraction is very powerful, improper use such as banging weights together or throwing weights on the floor can dislodge PlateMates from the end of the weight. Q: How many pairs of PlateMates do I need? A: You will need one pair per dumbbell in use. For example, you will need two pairs when doing flies or lateral raises. Q: What size of platemates do I need? A: For a 1.25 microload, you will need a pair of 5/8 lb PlateMates. For a 2.50 lb microload, you will need a pair of 1/25 PlateMates. A pair of 1 7/8 lb PlateMates makes a 3 3/4 lb increase. For a 5 lb microload, use a pair of 2.5 lb PlateMates. Q: Do the magnets lose their strength over time? A: No. PlateMates use permanent magnets that never lose their strength. In fact, PlateMates are guaranteed for the life of the product. If you are dissatisfied for any reason, you can return them and Benoit Built (the manufacturer) will repair or replace them free of charge at their discretion. Q: Do PlateMates work with plastic or rubber coated dumbbells? A: No. It is important that the magnets come in direct contact with the metal for an ultimate hold. Q: Can you stack PlateMates? A: No. The PlateMates are coated with a protective coating, so that you cannot use more than one at each end of a weight. For a bigger microload, use the next available size of Platemate. Q: How do you use PlateMates with an Olympic bar? A: You can use either Hex or Donut style PlateMates with an Olympic bar. To use the Donut, Olympic plates should be loaded onto the bvar with the flat sides out. Then one Donut Platemate should be located anywhere on the flat side of the plate. The Hex Platemate attaches directly on the end. **QFAC no longer carries this product - please accept our apology for any inconvenience this may have caused.
