Hej gott folk,
Jag undrar om ni vet någon svensk webbshop/butik som säljer små viktskivor till vanliga skivstänger? Dessa viktskivor är till för att man ska kunna göra små ökningar från pass till pass istället för att öka med 2.5kg.
Sen så har jag även sett en tråd där en kille länkade till en sida där man kunde köpa magnet vikter som man satte fast på hantlarna för att göra små ökningar.
Någon som vet om något sånt?
Här är en text om skivorna tagen från T-nation.
"Fractional plates are basically really tiny weight plates that allow you to make smaller load progressions instead of having to make large jumps. For example, if you can perform triceps extensions with 95 pounds but can't quite jump to 100 pounds, these donut-sized plates allow you to use 97 pounds or just about any load between 95 and 100.
Fractional plates can also be used for setting new PRs. Can't quite jump from a 295 pound bench press to 300? Then fractional plates allow you to make steady progress in smaller increments, such as a 297 or 298 pound press. Clarence Bass, Charles Poliquin, Stuart McRobert, and many others have recommended fractional plates for this purpose.
APT fractional plates come in a set of eight plates: one-fourth pound, one-half pound, three-fourths of a pound and one pound plates (two of each). They're chrome-plated and fit Olympic sized barbells and dumbbells. APT fractionals come with a large fabric bag with a drawstring, in addition to smaller bags for each size. It's very easy to carry these to your regular gym.
Should you buy them? Depends on how you train and your experience level. If you don't keep a workout log, then you probably don't know exactly how much weight you use anyway on certain lifts. If you don't manage your loading, then there's no need to micromanage it.
But if you like the idea of small improvements when larger jumps in load just aren't possible, then these can be handy tools, especially for the more advanced trainer who's reached a sticking pointor plateau in his loading capacity. Five pound jumps are easy for the newbie benching 135, but a little tougher for the experienced guy shooting for 500."
