PlateMates! Magnetic 1 1/4lb plates!
I know this should be in the equipment section, but this forum is more popular, and i want everyone to see these things.
http://www.bodytrends.com/plmmain.htm
They are magnetic plates that come in 5/8th of a lb to 5lbs, and come in hexagonal shape, donut shape, and they even have ones for putting on weight stacks on machines, I was so glad when I found these things, I had to put up a link. Enjoy.

Nah,
All you need is one set, and you can put them on anything. I mean sure, if you can find the non magnetic plates than by all means buy those, they are much cheaper. I plan on buying the platemates asap.

There $21.49. I mean, that is pricey but hell, where else can you find a 5/8ths of a lb plate? They are probably the only company who makes them, and they are magnetic, no wonder they charge alot.

dood i can't believe u'd pay 25$ for 2 of these lil' weights.. not to mention you need 2 sets to add up to 2.5pds on each arm (say for db curls or side laterals).. i was just looking around for these mainly for these 2 exercises when 5 pounds on each hand is quite an increase but there's no way in hell im paying that much.. anyone else have any other options?
i heard there's like 2.5pd wristbands, that'd serve the same purpose rite?? plus they wouldn't get in the way at all

Thats what happens when people use the search function. So we're either stuck with repetitive threads or ones from 2 years ago popping up. Oh well.

i'd like to think its better than posting a new topic exactly the same as the old one.. and perhaps knowledgeable people missed it the last time around..
