Every gram counts when you are in a progression cycle or close to a personal record. This pack brings together the 2 black pairs of the Precision range, 1.25 kg and 2.5 kg, i.e. +2.5 kg and +5 kg on the bar, the two standard progression steps, 7.5 kg in total. Rubber-coated steel, ±10 g tolerance, compatible with all 50 mm Olympic bars.

The two standard progression steps
By combining the two pairs you go up by +2.5 kg, +5 kg or +7.5 kg on the bar, the classic increments of the main lifts.
Why the pack rather than separate pairs?
The pack equips you in one go at a better price than the pairs bought separately. The 2.5 and 5 kg steps cover standard progression on squat, deadlift and bench press, to be fine-tuned later with micro-weights.
For which goals?
- Strength cycles: calibrated weekly progression
- Breaking a plateau: the smallest possible overload when the classic step is stuck
- Rehabilitation: very gradual return after injury
- Isolation exercises: fine adjustment on curls, lateral raises, light movements
- Personal records: pinpointing your maxima precisely
Use
These plates are designed for daily gym use: the steel takes the loads, the rubber coating protects the bar, the floor and the plates from one another during load changes. Always load the precision plates after the main plates, as close as possible to the collars, and check the tightening before heavy sets.
A plate rack or plate tree is not a precaution, it is a time saver: micro-weights look alike in size, the colour code and tidy storage prevent any loading mistake.
