PlateMates

Magnetic Donuts (0.625 lb)

:
PlateMates Magnetic Donuts are a great addition to your gym. These Donuts weight 283g and are sold as a pair. The PlateMates Magnetic Donuts can add variety to your gym routine.

PlateMate Donuts fit securely over the ends of pro-style dumbbells. PlateMates are versatile.

Discover what the experts have known for a long time. Microloading - strength training with smaller incremental increases - is the smarter, better, and safer way to success. PlateMates make microloading easy at any professional or home gym with their revolutionary, patented superstrong magnetic design, three versatile styles - hex, ring, and brick - and micro increments from 5/8 lbs to 5 lbs.

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 acheive success at the highest level of weight training.

PlateMates are ideal for physical therapy where small increases help patients regain strength without overburdening injured muscles and tendons.

Commonly asked questions about PlateMate:
What if the 30 lb weight is too light, but the 35 lb provides too much resistance?
Use a pair of 1 1/4 lb PlateMates to increase your weight load more gradually. It's much safer, too, because you will reduce your chance of injury.

How are PlateMates attached?
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.

How many pairs of PlateMates do I need?
You will need one pair per dumbbell in use. For example, you will need two pairs when doing flies or lateral raises.

What size of PlateMates do I need?
For a 1-1/4 lb microload, you will need a pair of 5/8 lb Platemates. For a 2-1/2 lb microload, you will need a pair of 1-1/4 lb 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 2-1/2 lb PlateMates.

Do the magnets lose their strength over time?
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 we will repair or replace them free of charge at our discretion.

Do PlateMates work with plastic or rubber coated dumbbells?
No. It is important that the magnets come in direct contact with the metal for an ultimate hold.

Can you stack PlateMates?
No. We coat PlateMates with a protective coating, so you cannot use more than one at each end of the weight. For a bigger microload, use the next available size of PlateMate.

How do you use PlateMates with an Olympic bar?
You can use either Hex or Donut style PlateMates with an Olympic bar. To use the Donut, Olympic plates should be loaded onto the bar 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 to the end of the Olympic bar.

Heres what the experts say about PlateMate:
"Microloads are a vital part of successful training, and PlateMates are an ingenious and perfect, practical solution" - Stuart McRobert, Author and Publisher of Hardgainer

"PlateMates allow our athletes the opportunity to continually develop maximum strength potentials while minimizing the risk of orthopedic injury" - Mark Asanovich, Strength Coach, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

"What if the 35-pounder is too heavy to do more than a few reps? To help you bridge the gap theres PlateMates ... so you can add weight to your presses and curls for steady strength gains." - Mens Health

"An ingenious invention ... Every home gym should have at least two, and commercial gyms should have a pair at every lifting station." - Ironman
