Olympic Bumper Plate (10lb, 15lb, 25lb, 35lb, 45lb - SOLD INDIVIDUALLY), Rubber Formula With Steel Insert, Strength Training, Bench Press, Squats, Powerlifting, Weight Training, Home Gym

Ordered two of the 45 lbs for deadlifting. I needed an inexpensive, oversized (both height and girth) set of bumpers that would be tall enough to stop my cast iron plates from making contact with the floor. These bumpers fit the bill perfectly. They are taller than my cast iron plates and can really handle the force of carrying all the impact when making contact with the ground. A deadlifting platform is ideal, but if you own a set of these, you can get away with using a horse stall mat, thus saving your floor from damage. Initial impressions are these bumpers are of high quality and seem very durable. They fit on my power barbells with no issues sliding on/off with ease. My only other experience with bumpers were of the Rogue variety. While those are nice, they are also more than double the cost of these. Compared to Rogue, these bumpers are definitely more stiff and I can't say I would be comfortable dropping them from overhead. But if your goal is to deadlift in a home gym while saving your flooring, these will work just as good as anything and costs significantly less. Happy lifting!

(Edit) A fair price now, for some reason between July 10 and 24th the 45lb plates jumped in price from $54.99 to over $75. I emailed Amazon to question the price but no reply yet.I've owned several sets of bumper plates during covid, taking what I can find a decent prices used and trading, etc... and I really like these Rage plates. I currently have a mix of a previous generation Rage plate and these new white logo. The new ones are more 'rubber like' with a matte finish where the older ones are little more plastic and smooth finish. Not a lot of bounce in either but the new ones land a little more dead. I don't do a lot of drops and use primarily for hex or barbell deadlifts. I Like the height they sit at compared to my steel plates and they look cool :). Price on Amazon is the best I've seen for a name brand bumper plate, even less than Rage's website, and I'll probably keep adding to the collection as more variety come available.

I bought this for my friend who's a trainer and a couple other gym things. He loovveedd it. He stated it was the perfect weight to add to his others

I’ve had the older rage bumper weights and these are definitely just as good as those. Great quality and performance.

The only couple complaints I have is the plate sits very flush with the ground, so if you lay it down flat it’s a little more difficult to pick up than I’d like. Also, the material it’s made of is pretty solid, but it’s kind of slick and hard to grip. I weighed them and they were about 0.2lbs over 45, so pretty true to the weight.

Perfect weight for the money

I love these plates. I've purchased some directly from rage fitness, and some through Amazon, I received the exact same plates, all great quality plates. They are a little stiff, which I like because they aren't too bouncy when you drop them. I must say, they are very smelly when you first get them. It took a couple weeks to get rid of the strong smell. So far i'm super happy with them, I have the rage flat bench, plate tree, and barbell, all are great quality.

For me, they are a perfect add on for reps. Safe!
