Summary
The Weight It Out Lock and Load Revolver Micro-Loading Plates are a novelty item for home gym users, where a half-pound plate base can load up to six 1-pound “bullets” into its chambers, allowing for micro-loading. While it’s ideal for drop sets, the functionality of the plates don’t add much, and they’ll most likely be a neat item to add to your home gym collection.
