WHAT DO THEY DO?
PlateMates allow the user to add small amounts of weight to their dumbbells, plates or weight stack in order to achieve higher levels of weight training.
WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM PLATEMATES?
All users from beginners to advanced athletes. Beginners can exercises properly & avoid injury by safely increasing weight in small increments. Advanced users benefit from micro-loading by breaking through plateaus & achieving success.
