All-Black Bumper Plate Sets

It's time to bump up your lifting game! These medium-bounce rubber bumper plates have a thick stainless steel insert ring with 3 anchor points to prevent common bumper breakdowns. The number one advantage of bumpers is safety for the lifter. A lifter who hesitates to dump a bad lift because they're afraid of damage to the floor or the equipment is more likely to get hurt. Bumpers take any worry about damage completely out of the equation. Iron plates come in a variety of non-standardized diameters, so if you are doing any exercises pulling from the floor, such as deadlifts, or cleans, unless you have 45lb plates on each side, you'll be pulling from a deficit. Cheap bumpers can be up to 10% off the claimed weight, causing you to put the wrong weight on the bar. Our bumper plates are accurate to +/- 1% of the claimed weight. No more second-guessing what's on the bar — ever. IMPORTANT: Due to their partial recycled rubber construction, these bumpers are smellier & bounce more.
