CAP Barbell Rubber Olympic Bumper Plate | Multiple Options

Recently bought the “PRO” 45lbs plates and these are of high quality for a very low cost. Even at full price ($59 each at time of posting) these are reasonable but for the $38 paid, they are a steal. These are a nice “dead bounce” bumper plate well suited for heavy and dynamic lifting. The economy plates are usually bouncier which makes dynamic lifts a bit more hazardous with the rebound. These arrived nicely packed and good condition. There is an oily residue and smell that is typical of most bumper plates when new.

De gran calidad, excelente tamaño y diseño.

Unos platos muy buenos y de buen precio, pesan lo que dicen pesar y se sienten de muy buena calidad

Excelente disco. Cumple su función. Muy buen material por el precio.

I’ll start by saying I’ve ordered the Economy, Economy - Speckled and PRO bumper plates. The 5-star rating is for the PRO plates. PRO - fantastic quality. Little oily out of the box, used Dawn Powerwash and paper towel and washed them down and let them air out for 24 hours. Zero rubber smell. I was shocked. Plates are solid and steel hub is solid and smooth. Economy Speckled - Worst rubber smell ever. Washed them 3 times over, and let them off gas outdoors for 6 weeks!! And guess what? STILL STINKS! They’re still oily to this day and leave a residue on my mats. I go out of my way to avoid these loading the bar. Economy - Also very oily but dried quicker and didn’t smell as bad as the speckled but still stank. They off gassed outdoors for 3 weeks. Rubber quality is not great and they’re not very sturdy. I use them when I have to. Recommendation: Get PRO plates or Competition. Avoid these other junkers here. Wash them once, air them out, and lift.
