Benefits of Competition Bumper Plates

  • MATCH IWF SPECS (ALMOST…)
    These competition bumper plates don’t quite match IWF specs: they’re not IWF approved, but they DO check the key boxes: 450mm diameter, colour-coded, and guaranteed to +/- 0.1% of the claimed weight. The thing is, they’re made in pounds instead of kilograms because, well… #freedomunits. But, don’t let that rain on your parade, they still make excellent training plates for Olympic weightlifting.
  • HIGHLY DURABLE
    So, you wanted durable? Then, oh boy, you’ve got it with our competition bumper plates. The galvanized centre hub with its co-molded steel collar won’t spin or break from the rubber and uses an innovative method to securely lock the bolts in place. All this mumbo-jumbo to say that the hub is safeguarded against loosening and the competition bumper plates will scuff less over time.
  • MINIMAL BOUNCE
    Alright, it’s time for science talk: the harder the material gets, the less bounce it will have. And since these competition bumper plates are made from high-density virgin rubber, they’re a huge step above crumb bumpers. Minimal bounce is ideal since it prevents excessive damage to your barbell and minimal shock to the plates, and makes for a faster transition between reps — because cardio is just lifting weights faster, right?

Competition Bumper plates (lb)

I bought the 320 lb set ( 2 each of 25 lb, 35 lb, 45 lb and 55 lb) and have been using them for quite awhile. They are great and as accurate as advertised. There were a couple of minor blemishes in the paint when they arrived, but that doesn't affect performance. I would have liked a bit more of a bevel on the plates to make them easier to pick up off the floor. Other than that, they have been great.
