Description

The PlateMate 2.5 lb. Brick is designed to give athletes, therapists, and lifters more flexibility when training on selectorized equipment. Instead of committing to standard large weight jumps, PlateMate allows smaller and safer increases—especially important for accessory work, injury recovery, and advanced programming.

The patented magnetic brick attaches firmly to metal weight stacks. It is not compatible with rubber-, vinyl-, urethane-, or neoprene-coated surfaces. Each unit includes a protective outer shell to safeguard gym equipment during use.
