Kilo plate set by Werksan.

Weight increments allow progressive resistance to be added to your lifts over time. Patience, discipline, and focus on a task will yield success.

Milo of Croton, legendary strongman of the 6th century B.C., had a foolproof method for incremental progress: "Legend has it that he would train in the off years by carrying a newborn calf on his back every day until the Olympics took place. By the time the events were to take place, he was carrying a four year old cow on his back."
