I'm in the same situation.

Is this for micro loading, specifically for the press and bench? Lowest weight seems to be 2.5 kg which means you have to make 11 pound jumps each session.

I guess we could always go to a hardware store and get 2 inch washers.

Banseok Sports seems to offer a whole lineup of workout equipments as well.

I think he's looking for plates with 2 inch centers.

I used heavy collars. The gym I use(wife's school's boxing gym, it's free, lucky me) has heavy collars about a kg. I used those instead of plates.

Or use Iron Woody: http://www.ironwoodyfitness.com/fractionals.php

For general all round Bodybuilding info / forum / links etc this is the best I ever found. Pretty much teenager / troll free and lots of sensible, no frills, no fads, no magic bullet sort of advice and info.
