Change plates are essential for good training to do micro loading. Micro loading basically means that you always try to lift more in your last session, even if it just a couple of grams. With the traditional nominations of plates, you can only jump in increments of 5 - 10kg. CHange plates make this range even smaller to keep a positive trajectory for your gains.

Pros of the Titan change plates are:

 

If you want change plates in all black that is something TITAN can provide. Also, as with all TITAN products, you pay about half of what you would pay elsewhere in the market. 

 

 

Cons of the change plates are:

 

These plates are getting quite small so it can be easy to put the wrong weight on without color-coding. As these are change plates it is also very likely that you will use them outside the collar. This needs a very snug fit for the bar. As TITAN has its quality issues here and there and change plates are not the most expensive item in your cart, you might want to opt for a vendor with tighter quality control on this item. 

 

For commercial gyms, it is also to consider that these plates are very easy to steal. I have been in several gyms and I use change plates often for my training. It just always seems that after 2 -3 months these keep disappearing. So keep them in a space where staff can directly see them. 

 

 

Alternatives to the TITAN change plates are:

 

 

If you can afford the little extra money I would definitely recommend going for the colored change plate option.
