About this list

Small plates let you add weight in small steps: a pair of 1.25 kg plates adds 2.5 kg to the bar. This list includes every Olympic plate product in our index whose brand's range goes down to 1.25 kg or less.

The listing we link to isn't always the small plate itself; for some ranges it's a heavier size from the same range. The exact weight and quantity in each listing are worth checking before ordering.

Before you buy

Plates go on in pairs, so a pair of 1.25 kg plates adds 2.5 kg to the bar. Smaller plates allow smaller jumps, which helps on presses and other lighter lifts.
A brand's range can include small plates while the listing we link to is a heavier size. The exact weight and quantity in the basket are worth checking before ordering.
Small plates need the same 2 inch (50 mm) hole as the rest of your Olympic plates, and they still take up sleeve space.
A small denomination says nothing about weight accuracy or whether the plate can be dropped. Those are separate figures from the brand.

Notes on the list

Body Power 107.5 kg Olympic Disc Kit
The kit includes four 1.25 kg plates. The criterion is a per-plate denomination, not a prescribed training increase.
York Fitness ISO-Grip Rubber Olympic Weight Plate, 15 kg
The same York range; the purchase variant is one 15 kg plate.
York Fitness ISO-Grip Rubber Olympic Weight Plate, 20 kg
The range offers 1.25 kg; the purchase variant is one 20 kg plate. York says not for dropping.

What this list doesn't check

The cutoff is per plate. Balanced bar loading normally uses matched plates on both ends, doubling that denomination in the total change.
Range availability does not put the smallest plates in the linked package or establish stock for another size.
A small denomination is not a weight tolerance, drop rating or recommendation for how much to increase a lift.

Iron vs Bumper Plates: Which Should You Buy?
Material, dimensions and permitted use matter more than the category name. Check the exact plates, bar and training surface together.
How to Check Whether Weight Plates Fit Your Barbell
Match the plate bore to the loading sleeve, then check plate thickness and collar space. The grip diameter is a different measurement.
