Hang a couple of pepper shakers off the bar!! failing that maybe used thicker collars, or a few collars..... or thoses wrist weights

I've seen a few of these threads around here and i can never work out what people need .25kg plates for

eclectichoney

Something like this might be your best bet, but I think the lowest is .86kgs, sorry.

Is that a full set of fractional plates for €25????

DM-BM

Well that set doesn't have 0.25kg plates, but yeah, €25 for 2x2.5kg, 2x2kg, 1x1kg, 2x0.5kg.

He also sells Eleiko 0.25kg plates at €9.50 each and 0.5kg at €12.

Please don't tell me platemate's plate doesn't fit over an olympic bar? I know they are magnetic but if thats the case it's crazy...

no the circular one doesn't have the diameter to go over an olympic bar... i've been looking for the HEX ones... like the idea you can use them with various pieces of equipment like bars, dumbells and stacks that have a suitable attachment site

ref from their FAQ:

How do you use PlateMates with an Olympic bar?

You can use either Hex or Donut style PlateMates with an Olympic bar. To use the Donut, Olympic plates should be loaded onto the bar with the flat sides out. Then one Donut PlateMate should be located anywhere on the flat side of the plate. The Hex PlateMate attaches directly to the end of the Olympic bar.

Any plans to stock fractional plates mickk?? It's horrifically expensive trying to get them from the US and it doesn't seem like there's too many European suppliers either...

Did you pay 57,98 EUR gstack

gstack

I was actually getting more stuff than the plates but I did pay €38 euro postage , but I still dont think you will get it cheaper.

If you know someone in the states who would be willing to post stuff back for you it might be worth trying
