Overview
A four-piece set of alloy steel weight plates from Micro, model MG050, at 1.3 pounds each. Finished in black, they are sized for small load adjustments rather than heavy lifting.
At roughly 1.3 pounds per plate, this set reads as a fine-increment option for dialing in a load rather than a primary plate set. No hole diameter is listed, so fit against a specific bar or dumbbell handle is not confirmed by the available data. Check your own equipment's sleeve size before assuming compatibility.
- Alloy steel construction
- 1.3 lb per plate
- Four plates included
- Black finish
Who it's for
Lifters who want to nudge a barbell or adjustable dumbbell up in small steps, not anyone building a working set from scratch.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Fine weight increments for load adjustments
- Durable alloy steel build
- Compact four-piece set
- Hole diameter not specified, fit unconfirmed
- Total weight is small for standalone training
- No dimensions listed
Performance notes
Alloy steel gives these plates a hard, dense feel typical of standard non-rubber plates. With four included at 1.3 pounds apiece, the set totals a little over 5 pounds, which functions more as an accessory to an existing plate set than a stand alone load.
