Gym Fit Tech offers common fractional sizes so you can fine-tune loads in both kilograms and pounds. Typical options include 0.25 kg, 0.5 kg, 0.75 kg, 1.0 kg (and their lb equivalents). Check each product page for the exact lineup and bundle options. Using paired increments per side keeps bar balance and lets you progress predictably without overshooting target RPE or technique quality.

Yes. Matched pairs help maintain symmetry, and full sets bundle our most-used sizes for linear progressions. Sets are ideal for home gyms and coaches who need consistent micro-steps across athletes. See the product pages for current set compositions and any savings versus buying individually. Pairing plates per side ensures balanced loading and repeatable progress over weeks and blocks.

Gym Fit Tech micro weight plates use a 32 mm standard hole with a 15 mm slot, designed to seat over the grip/handle section on most dumbbells, kettlebells, and Olympic barbells. This enables precise micro-loading without relying on the 50 mm sleeve. Confirm your handle diameter and clearance before purchase—our snug, repeatable fit supports progressive overload without plate creep.

Yes—Gym Fit Tech plates are designed to sit on the bar’s grip/handle area, not the 50 mm sleeve. This delivers secure, repeatable micro-loading on Olympic barbells without interfering with collars. Measure your handle diameter to confirm fit and check clearance near the shoulder/collar before training.

Absolutely. Fractional loading supports consistent progress on lifts where weekly increases are modest. Many lifters—women and men—find +0.25–1.0 kg per side ideal for sustainable gains. Gym Fit Tech micro plates make these small, reliable steps easy across linear progressions and peaking blocks without compromising form.

Yes—if the machine uses standard 50 mm (or 25 mm) sleeves, Gym Fit Tech micro plates can add fine increments when full-size plates jump too much. Load micro plates closest to the sleeve shoulder, then your larger plates, and secure with collars where applicable. Always check clearance and secure stops before testing new loads on plate-loaded equipment.

Micro plates are thin and sit inside collars, so they do not meaningfully affect spin on quality barbells when installed correctly. Keep sleeves clean and use well-fitting collars to prevent creep. Load micro plates first (nearest the shoulder) to maintain optimal collar bite and sleeve balance. Replace worn collars if you notice slippage during sets.

If the specialty bar uses 50 mm Olympic sleeves (most do), Gym Fit Tech’s Olympic-sleeve micro plates will fit. For 25 mm sleeves or unique collar systems, check specifications or consider adapters. The aim is safe, precise progression across bar types.

Yes. Load micro plates closest to the sleeve shoulder, then your bumpers, then collars. Ensure you have enough sleeve length for the combination. Gym Fit Tech plates are designed to coexist with bumper stacks for seamless micro-progression.

Use a dumbbell micro-loading adapter or cable-pin designed to seat plates against the head/handle junction. Add plates as matched pairs, keep handles dry, and avoid dynamic swings. If attachments are restricted, use cable-pin micro-loading to bridge gaps between fixed dumbbell sizes.

Pressing lifts respond best to small, even jumps. Add 0.25–0.5 kg per side on bench and 0.25 kg per side on overhead press, maintaining identical setup and pause standards. If bar speed or reps degrade, repeat the load before progressing. Gym Fit Tech micro plates let you progress without compromising scapular control, bar path, or elbow tracking.

Use the smallest step that preserves form across all prescribed reps. Many lifters add 0.5–1.0 kg total weekly on bench/press and 1.0–2.0 kg on squat/deadlift variants. If a week stalls, hold the load or reduce the step for the next session. Micro-progressions compound quickly while keeping technique quality and joint comfort front and center.

Slide the plate over the handle via the 15 mm slot so it sits tight against the handle shoulder. Load even pairs (e.g., 0.25–0.5 kg per side) and keep technique identical before increasing. Avoid drops; set dumbbells down under control. Gym Fit Tech micro plates are engineered for dumbbell use, giving fractional progress when standard jumps are too large.

Use our cable pin extender: remove the factory pin, insert the extender so it protrudes outside the guard, then slide plates onto the 30 mm diameter pin. This creates a safe, rigid attachment point for Gym Fit Tech micro plates, letting you fine-tune stack load without modifying the machine.

Insert an extendable cable micro-load pin, add Gym Fit Tech micro plates evenly, then select the nearest stack plate below target load. Top up with your fractional plates (e.g., 2×1 kg adds +2 kg). This keeps progression smooth and gradual when built-in stack jumps are 2–5 kg.

They bridge large weight-stack gaps, enabling fractional increases that protect technique on isolation work where 2–5 kg leaps are excessive. Expect steadier progress, better movement quality, and more predictable week-to-week gains when micro-loading with Gym Fit Tech plates.

A micro-loading pin lets you add precise small increments quickly across multiple stations—no permanent mods needed. Paired with Gym Fit Tech micro plates, you can bridge stack settings to maintain form while progressing, ideal for lateral raises, rows, triceps work, and other cable moves sensitive to big jumps.

Tolerance indicates how close the plate is to its stated weight. Gym Fit Tech specifies tight tolerances suitable for precision micro-loading and verifies with calibrated scales. See each product page for tolerance ranges and QC notes. Consistent tolerance across pairs ensures that your left/right loading and week-to-week progressions remain precise and repeatable.

Magnetised plates can be useful on select equipment but are not necessary for standard barbell or dumbbell sleeves. For safety and predictability under heavy loads, we recommend mechanical seating inside collars or approved adapters. If you need attachment on non-sleeve surfaces, review the specific product guidance before use to ensure secure, stable loading.

Durable coatings can reduce metal-on-metal wear and dampen noise during loading. Gym Fit Tech finishes are selected for grip, longevity, and sleeve friendliness. Always keep sleeves clean and avoid abrasive debris that can mark finishes. Use proper collars and controlled set-downs to preserve both plates and bar hardware over time.

Store plates dry and off abrasive floors—use pegs, hooks, or lined bins. Wipe sweat and chalk after sessions, and avoid harsh solvents on finishes. If plates become wet, dry thoroughly before storage. Periodically inspect for burrs or debris that could scratch sleeves. Good storage habits keep tolerances stable and plates looking fresh.

Yes. Longer femurs or taller torsos increase hip travel and forward lean. Elevating the heels with a wedge reduces ankle demands and helps maintain a more upright torso, improving depth and balance. Start with a moderate angle and adjust based on bar path and knee tracking. Gym Fit Tech wedges provide stable traction for repeatable positions.

Often, yes. A moderate wedge can enable depth and alignment while you address mobility and strength capacity. Keep loads conservative, progress gradually, and pair with coaching and mobility work as advised. Gym Fit Tech wedges offer non-compressive support so movement quality remains consistent as tolerance improves across training blocks.

It elevates your heels to reduce ankle dorsiflexion demands, helping you hit depth with a more upright torso and cleaner knee tracking. Gym Fit Tech wedges provide a stable, grippy platform so you can bias quads and keep consistent mechanics as load rises.

Yes—elevation reduces required dorsiflexion so you can reach depth with better torso position while you work mobility separately. A firm, non-compressive surface keeps depth and balance consistent as fatigue accumulates.

For many lifters, improved torso angle and knee tracking reduce compensations that irritate knees or lumbar spine. Use the lowest effective angle and progress gradually while addressing underlying mobility and strength.

For bilateral squats and hacks, use a matched pair for symmetry. A single wedge can be used strategically in split-stance work to bias the front or rear leg. Keep the entire foot supported and ensure stance feels stable. Gym Fit Tech wedges are designed to work as singles or pairs without wobble or compression under load.

Heels-elevated setups often allow a slightly narrower stance with more forward knee travel. Keep knees tracking over mid-foot and maintain full-foot pressure. If you feel weight shifting to the toes, reduce angle or widen stance slightly. The goal is repeatable depth with balanced pressure and an upright torso suited to your leverages.

Build fundamentals first, then use tools strategically. If ankle mobility limits depth or form, a moderate wedge teaches a stable, upright pattern while you work mobility. Adjust angle as technique improves.

For squats, split squats, and hack squats, heels-up to reduce ankle demands and increase quad bias. Toes-up suits posterior-chain drills or mobility work. Keep the foot fully supported and stable.

Yes. Elevation shifts emphasis to the quads, aids balance, and encourages a more upright torso—especially in Bulgarian split squats and hacks. Start moderate, then adjust as control improves.

High-bar and front squats typically benefit from more elevation (15–20°) for an upright torso and depth. Low-bar may need less (10–15°) to balance hip drive with knee travel. Start at 15°, then adjust by observing bar path, heel contact, and torso angle. Gym Fit Tech wedges provide consistent angles so you can fine-tune precisely.

Stacking can work but may reduce stability if surfaces shift. It’s safer to select a single wedge with the target angle or use an adjustable slant board rated for load. If you do stack, ensure full-foot support, non-slip interfaces, and conservative loading. Gym Fit Tech offers angle options to avoid risky improvised stacks.

Foam is light but compressive under load; rubber adds grip but can still give; composites balance stiffness and weight; metal is rigid and durable but may need surface texture. Gym Fit Tech prioritizes non-compressive stability and traction so angles stay true under heavy squats and unilateral work without flex or slip.

Use flat, grippy soles on a textured, non-compressive wedge. Keep soles and surface clean of chalk and dust. Gym Fit Tech wedges are designed to provide reliable traction with common lifting footwear.

Match angle to mobility and goal. ~10° for mild restrictions/general quad focus; 15° as a versatile middle ground; 20° for pronounced limits, ATG front squats, or high-bar patterns. Start lower, assess depth and torso angle, then adjust.

ATG and front squats often benefit from 15–20° to keep an upright torso and knees tracking over toes without heel lift-off. Start at 15° and refine based on balance and bar path.

They solve similar problems differently: shoes provide fixed elevation and lockdown; wedges let you vary angle by lift and share across users. Many lifters test with wedges before committing to shoes or to fine-tune elevation on specific movements.

Gym Fit Tech heel elevators are engineered from high-durability plastic (not foam) and are rated for 300 kg+ when used on a clean, level surface. The platform is non-compressive under heavy barbell work for stable angles set after set. For safety, avoid stacking wedges, ensure full-foot contact, and inspect surfaces periodically for debris before loading.

They’re manufactured from a high-durability plastic selected for strength and impact resistance, unlike foam wedges that compress or brittle plastics that crack. The design distributes load across the footprint to maintain angle accuracy under heavy use. Use on stable flooring, avoid sharp impacts, and the wedge will deliver long-term, consistent performance.

Fixed wedges are durable and quick; adjustable boards offer multiple angles with a small setup trade-off. Pick the format that matches your training variety and space. Gym Fit Tech focuses on stability and angle accuracy.

Wipe with a mild cleaner, dry fully, and store on a flat surface. Avoid solvents that degrade texture. Keep sharp edges off the contact surface. Basic care preserves grip and geometry for daily use.

Yes—use wedges on clean, level rubber flooring or wooden platforms. Avoid uneven or loose mats that can introduce wobble. Place the wedge fully on a stable surface and check for movement before loading heavy. Gym Fit Tech wedges are designed for common gym surfaces and maintain traction without leaving marks or residue.
