MORE FREQUENT PR'S
In the fight for strength, every pound matters. These fractional plates feature eight 0.5-pound plates, so you can apply small or large micro-loading to all your lifts - from overhead presses to bicep curls.

EASIER MICRO-LOADING
Adding 5 pounds to your 50-pound barbell curl is a whopping 10% weight jump. Fractional plates make it easier to load smaller muscle groups, so you hit fewer plateaus and make more progress.

FIT OLYMPIC BARBELLS
In an act of desperation, lifters often resort to using washers or magnets to create makeshift 0.5 lb plates. These fractional plates actually fit your Olympic barbell sleeves and stay put as they should.
Product Details
Listen, buddy - I get it. You never thought that you'd need smaller weight plates than 2.5lbs. After all, change plates cover your bases pretty well already.
But haven't you wondered why your arm and shoulder strength always lag behind? Sure, these are smaller muscle groups than those in your legs. But their lack of progress mostly boils down to getting pummelled by the same loading scheme used to progress squats and deadlifts, by adding 2.5-5lbs per side.
Instead of forcing 5-10lb jumps on overhead presses and biceps curls, these lifts should be loaded in a more sensible way - by adding weight in smaller increments of 1-4lbs.
Fractional cast iron plates that fit Olympic barbells, with a guaranteed weight tolerance of +/-16 grams.
IMPORTANT: Because they're cast iron instead of machined, some minor blemishes, +/-16 gram weight tolerance & 51mm hole are standard for them.

- GBGregory B.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoPerfect Addition
Great. I needed these smaller increment weights to keep my progression going. Little by little, one step at a time. I’m in the workout game for life and these will help. Thank you!
Bells of Steel CanadaHey Gregory, Thank you for the review! Enjoy all the gainz! Yours in strength, William & the BoS crew - QHQuinn H.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoFast and Affordable
The change plates arrived with in a few days, the shipping was super reasonable and the cost was just right. I use these plates almost daily and super happy with the quality.
Bells of Steel CanadaHey Quinn, Thank you for the review! we are glad you love the Fractional Plates! Yours in strength, William - ELEd L.Rated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoGreat Ninja Hex for Breaking your Weightlifting Plateaus
I decided to get these Ninja weapon to further my work out progress. The pieces are well made and fit well my Bare Naked Steel Barbell and EZ curl barbell from Bells of Steel. It really helps push the envelope when you are near your current lifting ceiling. Weight accuracy is lower than the calibrated plates but are within reasonable range based from the weight range obtained from my digital weighing scale I have (that I normally use to weigh my food intake with). I marked the weights of each plate and matched the ones close to each other so that I can optimize their pairing when I use them. Great value for my money. I am giving these 5 stars since these get the job done at a great low price.
Bells of Steel CanadaHey Ed, Thank you for the amazing review! We are happy you are getting great use out of our Ninja Weapons (aka our Fractional Plates)! Enjoy all your gainz! Yours in strength, William - MHMeredith H.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars22 hours agoFractional Iron Plates are just what I needed!
These plates are great, especially if you are between lbs in difference, where one set is too light & the next set up is too heavy. I also have a Smith Machine & the bar weighs 13 lbs, so I put two plates on each side to make it an even 15 lbs to figure out my weights. I love these little plates!!
Bells of Steel Canada3 minutes agoHey Meredith, Thanks for the 5 star review! The fractional plates are great for pushing your gains when you need just that extra little bit of weight to reach a PR. Let the gainzz begin!! BOS Crew - AAnonymousVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoGreat for pushing through plateaus
If your aim is to consistently progress your strength, these are a great addition to your lifting arsenal. The 0.5lbs helps you move up in weight consistently without feeling too much immediate pressure. Helping you progressively get stronger without risking injury by progressing too quickly.
Bells of Steel CanadaHi there, Thank you for taking the time to review our fractional plates. We agree these are fantastic for progressive overload and will help push past plateaus! We hope to serve you again soon! Sincerely, Marcus & the BoS team
