Pace Weights Vs. Platemates

[careyben]

I think I'll be getting one or the other. Any thoughts either way?

I have Platemates and I love them, but I'm considering getting the Pace Weights as well. The pace weights allow you increase weight in smaller increments and I like that.

Are the platemates 1 lb at a time? And pace weights 1/2 lb?

It looks like you can get pace weights from their site, and I didn't see that with the platemates.

I'm really looking forward to STS and want to get some equipment ahead of time to get used to it.

Pace weights are 1/2 lb each.

Platemates are sold in pairs (you need need 2 pairs -- one pair for each dumbbell). The hex weights come in 5/8 lb (a pair = 1 1/4 lb), and 1 1/4 lb (a pair = 2 1/2 lbs). They also have donut shaped Platemates which are heavier. This link should be of help to you http://www.theplatemate.com/faqs.htm
