HMS weight plate 1.25 kg in black, model 17-61-001, is a compact, single-sided exercise plate designed to provide small, precise weight increments for strength training and rehabilitation. Made to fit standard plate-loaded barbells, dumbbells and home gym machines, this 1.25 kg plate helps lifters fine-tune load progression and balance while occupying minimal storage space. The black finish offers a neutral look that integrates with most gym equipment.
Advantages
The slim 1.25 kg design allows for accurate microloading and gradual progress in strength programs without altering movement patterns. Its compact diameter reduces interference on crowded bars and machines, while the durable coating resists chipping and surface wear during regular use. The plate’s weight accuracy supports consistent training loads and reliable incremental increases for accessory lifts, rehab routines and technique work.
Suitable for
- Microloading on barbells and adjustable dumbbells
- Accessory and isolation exercises (e.g., curls, triceps extensions)
- Rehabilitation and physiotherapy strength progressions
- Home gym plate-loaded machines and progress tracking

How to use
Select the HMS 1.25 kg plate to add small increments to your lifting load by sliding it onto the sleeve of a barbell, the post of an adjustable dumbbell, or the pin of a plate-loaded machine. Secure plates with appropriate collars or clamps where applicable. Use one or multiple plates per side to achieve the desired incremental increase, and ensure even loading on both sides for balanced movement. For rehabilitation or technique-focused sessions, start with lower overall loads and increase gradually while monitoring form.
Usage recommendations
Store plates flat or on a suitable rack to avoid warping; clean occasionally with a dry cloth. Inspect the plate’s finish and the bar sleeve for damage before use. Combine this 1.25 kg plate with larger plates to achieve fine-tuned total loads and maintain balanced loading on both sides of the bar.
