Change Plates

About

Change plates and fractional plates let you add small, precise jumps to any lift — the key to steady progress when full plates are too big a leap. Sized for standard 2-inch Olympic bars and sold as pairs and sets. Why you need change plates Beat plateaus: add 1–5 lb at a time to keep progressing on presses and Olympic lifts. Precision: dial in exact loads for PRs and programming. Universal fit: 2-inch Olympic bore works with any bar. Frequently asked questions What are change plates? Small-denomination plates (often 0.5–5 lb) used to micro-load a barbell in precise increments. What's the difference between change and fractional plates? They overlap — "fractional" usually means the smallest plates (0.25–1 lb) for tiny jumps, while "change" plates cover the small standard sizes. Will they fit my bar? Yes — they have a 2-inch Olympic bore that fits any Olympic barbell. Do I really need them? If you've stalled on overhead press or Olympic lifts, micro-loading is one of the easiest ways to keep adding weight.
