In for 1. Very good price I actually think it was more than the original quoted price on Amazon. Around the $25 mark

Good price. Smaller plates are usually more expensive than this...

The grips make these nice, solid, convenient plates, as are the similar 5 and 10# variants.

The same one but 10lb X 4 is for $41. Almost $1/Lbs seems decent as well

Heads up these also make great 'adder' weights for powerblocks. Just need some rare earth magnets and epoxy.

These are great for 5x5 heavy lift programs, add 5 lbs per set each set being 5 reps.

Agree that being able to go up by small increments is nice. Having more than one pair seems redundant unless somebody stole your 5# plates.

Seems like overkill to have 6 2.5 plates. I currently have 4 2.5 plates, and never use them. What I did was use them as "spacers" for my Wall Mounted Plate Holders. I put one 2.5 plate on first, and permanently leave it there. Then load up heavier plates after them. That gives me a "spacer" between the heavier plates (25lb, 35lb, 45lb) and the wall. So that my heavy plates don't bang up against the wall.

Good for drop sets, especially when decreasing by 5lb increments

For reference… I paid $16.38 + tax for 6x2.5lbs in Jan2024. Paid $23.37+tax for 4x5lbs Jan2024. Paid $19.99+tax 2x10lbs Apr2024. I need more of all of them, because I like to leave the plates on the machines or bars or whatever, perks of it being 'my gym'

Yeah that's what I was thinking. This is a good deal for sure, but honestly my 2.5lb plates almost never move from the plate tree.

Not sure why you are getting downvoted, this is a pretty popular thing people discuss with powerblocks.

I will have to look into this. I have powerblocks and 2.5 increments would be really nice for weaknesses such as lateral raises
