Overview
The Micro MG049 is a single 1.3 pound sintered steel plate in black, built for fine tuning a barbell or dumbbell load rather than filling out a full stack.
Sintered steel packs more weight into a thinner, more compact plate than cast iron of the same size, which is why fractional plates like this one lean on the material. It ships as one piece, not a matched pair, so plan your order around that.
- 1.3 pound weight
- Sintered steel material
- Black finish
- One piece per listing
Who it's for
Lifters chasing small, controlled strength gains who need a light plate to round out a load. Not a fit for someone starting a plate collection from zero.
Pros and cons
- Compact fractional weight for small jumps
- Dense sintered steel construction
- Black finish matches most home gym gear
- Sold as a single plate, not a pair
- No listed hole diameter to confirm fit
Performance notes
Sintered steel forms a denser plate than cast iron at the same weight, so the MG049 sits thinner on a bar or handle. The listing does not confirm hole diameter, so check sleeve fit before ordering. Because it's sold as a single 1.3 pound piece, doubling up for even loading on both sides means buying two.
