Premium Black Bumper Plate Solid Rubber with Steel Insert - Great for CrossFit Workouts

Love these plates, have built up a sizable set over the past couple of years. IMO a good cost/quality balance for home use. I have never had any kind of smell issue...they've come with a very light coating of oily-feeling stuff that wipes off easily with a cloth moistened with window cleaner. My home gym is setup in my garage, I really need plates that won't damage the concrete floor or rubber mats...these completely fit that bill. I use these plates 4-5 times a week and they appear good as new.

Alright so first time I purchased - the shipping company only sent me one plate even though I ordered a pair, but it was quickly resolved after having to purchase another pair, sending the single plate back and getting refunded a few days later....holy hassle.The plates - they're fantastic. These are practically the same ones I use at the gym - great for a standard olympic size bar - I bought these to work on my clean's and deadlifts at home. They have a metal inner lining and since they're bumpers - it's not as noisy as regular metal plates. I'd say if you're looking to expand your home gym stash - these are a great addition. Great quality for the price.

These plates are great, especially for the price SHIPPED FREE!!!!! And I'm in Hawaii!! All the people complaining about the smell, it GOES AWAY!!! And it goes away quite fast, especially if left outside for a bit. The ones you buy at the fitness store probably came with the same smell but they just say in the store long enough to lose it. These are pretty much sent to you straight from the factory. Thee plates are very solid and work great for CrossFit/high rep exercises. Very tough. I haven't put a scratch or deny on them yet. Fits my bar collars great. Shut up and lift!!

Excellent bumper plates! Well made. I'm not a monster, but I do heavier lifting than most. In my Crossfit class I was certainly in the top 25% or higher. This weight takes the abuse and gives it right back. After a month of use, no signs at all of wear and tear. I'm using this in my home garage gym on a matted floor. I expect this weight to last many years to come. The weight ships with some sort of light oil preservative on it. I used a shop towel and wiped it mostly dry. The rest came off during the workouts. I'd buy again.

As of typing this review I've only had these for about 2 weeks so I can't comment on how long they last, but I will update later on.These were the best bargain bumper plates I could find. I was tired of destroying my garage floor with iron plates so I bought these to act as a buffer. They're slightly larger in diameter and much wider than a standard plate and absorb the impact well without bouncing too much. I bought two plates and weighed them both, each one was within .3lbs of the advertised weight. They slide on and off fairly smooth. They did have a strong smell when I took them out of the package but that went away within a week (they're giant chunks of rubber, it should be expected). No complaints, the only question is how long these will hold up.

These work just fine and fit the standard barbell. I have had no issues with them abrading or scraping and sometimes I use them on a concrete garage floor (even though most of the time it is on the padded floor). There is a nice edge on them to lift up and hold as well. Overall great purchase, and I'll but other plates from this company when I'm ready!

Arrived quick and item as expected - a pair of bumpers that fit the Olympic bar. They feel solid and rubbery and true to the weight. I use them for dead lifts and rows and they got a bit of a bounce to them.As others said, these plates smell like plastic. After opening the package they smell of these plates gave me a headache and needed to be used in an open area. However after a few days they smell goes away.

I was very disappointed to find out the inner rings of these plates did not fit as advertised over my 2" Olympic bar. Out of the set I purchased only one 10 pound plate was able to rack onto my bar and rack holder. The other plates did not slide onto to either bar or holder. At first I thought it was my bar but then I put on the older weights I have, as these weights were meant to replace my others, and no issues. I've reached out to the seller for replacing these but unfortunately have not heard back yet on how they plan to replace these as returning plates is not like returning batteries. Hopefully they can send me the right plates and test the rings before sending them out. Would be a good quality control measure to ensure they fit and customers do not have to deal with this headache. Overall they are good plates and the price is fair except for these rings.
