2.5 lb Donut PlateMate Pair

Great magnet strength. Go well with my Snode AD80s but can be placed on any metal plate if you happen to somehow run out of change plates.

Phenomenal (strongly) magnetic fractional plates that work on almost anything. They are very well coated and easy to grab due to the stepped edge.

I bought these to use as add-on weights for my Pepin Fast Series Adjustable Dumbbells. I have a gen 0 version of the dumbbells with no native support for adder weights, so this was my best option. The magnets are very strong and have never fallen off of the dumbbells. I like that I can also use these to micro load just 2.5 lbs when working on a small muscle group. The only knock on these is the price. You can probably find cheaper adder weights that will also get the job done. One unexpected bonus is I can use these on my Rogue Twin stack to add 2.5 - 5 lb to the high and low pulleys and 1.25-2.5 lbs to the functional trainer pulleys. If you need to add weights to something that doesn't have a mechanical option, it's hard to go wrong with these.

Very strong magnets. It seems overpriced for such a small amount of actual weight, but for me it saved hundreds of dollars of dumbbells. I have cast iron hex head dumbbells in 5lb increments up to 30lbs and then 30 to 100lbs in 10lb increments. These magnets allow me to hit the 5lb increments 35, 45... to 105 which saves me an incredible amount of space and money for dumbbells that I would only use infrequently anyways. I decided to keep the 5lb dumbbell increments under 30lb because the magnets don't stick that well to the smaller dumbbells. The magnets stick really well overall but if the surface is rounded or uneven they might not stick as well during quicker movements. For most of my dumbbells it's fine, but there are some i have to be careful about where and how I stick the magnet.

I love these. Magnet is very strong. I have never had them fall off unless I dropped the dumbbells, and even then I had to drop with some force and reckless abandon for these to pop off. The wide and flat design make them perfect for setting up on your legs to kick up into your press position. I will sometimes use them on grip implements like by blobs to add some weight and they also work great for that. Perfect price point for a home gym gift. As advertised, they really only work on metal dumbbells so don’t think you can make them work for a dumbbell with any kind of covering on them.

I was kind of shocked by how much I like these things. The magnets are strong and you can use them for a number of different things in the gym. I like adding them to grip implements. You can also through them on dumbbells, or weight stacks for extra incremental weight.
