The Fractional Plates (also known as change plates) are small, precision-calibrated weight increments (typically 0.25–2.5 kg/lb per plate, sold in pairs or sets) designed for gradual progressive overload in Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, and strength training. Made from durable steel or rubber-coated materials with color-coding for easy identification, they allow micro-adjustments to barbells for breaking plateaus, technique refinement, and personalized programming, essential for intermediate to advanced lifters aiming for consistent gains.
