CAP Barbell Rubber Olympic Bumper Plate | Multiple Options/Colors

Great deal for quality weights. I was expecting them to be scuffed up or something based on the price but they’re in good shape. Otherwise not much to say about it. They’re weights. They weigh the right amount soooo, great.

We have purchased multiple of these weights ranging from 10-25 pounds. We use them in our garage gym. Great durability, feel smooth, accurate weight. Only con is when we first unboxed they had this strong rubber like smell to them. After wiping down and airing out in the garage the smell is gone.

I received my pair of white 10 pound Cap competition bumper plates today. Delivered on time. At just over a dollar a pound, they're a good buy for me. I already have 25 and 45 pound bumpers ... I just needed a couple of extra10s, and these were cheaper than a pair of basic iron 10s I was considering.They do not smell. They are not greasy or oily -- they arrived dry and clean. There were no metal shavings or other debris in the package. The white rubber has some very slight discolorations in it (don't care), but is not chipped or scratched. The center is nicely machined, smooth metal.For potential buyers who may not be familiar with bumper plates, a couple of observations:- These are skinny 10 pound bumpers, so they flex easily, as do all 10 pound bumpers - cheap or expensive. I will not be using these alone on the bar.- And yes, bumper plates are all the same diameter regardless of weight - some reviewers seemed to think that's a problem.- And, also normal, they do not have much of a lip to grip, as some iron plates do. They certainly do not have handholds cut into them. Again ... this is normal for bumpers.Thanks Cap!

I ordered two Cap 45 competition plates and they both weighed in at 45.6 lbs which is just over a 1% variance. Rogue color echo plates (guaranteed less than 1% variance) are twice the price of these. I think they're an excellent value particularly viewed next to name brands. Hopefully they hold up over time - if I have any quality issues with them, I'll come back and update.Update 1 - after using them for a few weeks I've made the following observations. They're super bouncy compared to Rogue echos I've used at commercial gyms. I would say they bounce a solid 4-6 inches when dropped from weight height. I also noticed that the steel collar in the middle of the weight is very snug on the barbell - especially compared to the iron plates I have that make a lot of noise and have a lot of play. I'm very pleased with them especially after I noticed how snug they fit on the bar.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Good product. Good price.I have had smell problems with the 25 lbs and 15 lbs. Burt smell. Plastic they are wrapped in is being put on too quick. Not enough time to cool down and breathe. Probably cause they make so many for orders. I didn't have same problem with 45 lb and 55 lb. Over all great product. I let sit outside for 2 days and spray with straight vinegar. That also works for gym Matt's.

Of all the bumper weights we have tried, these were surprisingly nice. Especially for the price point. We got these to add to our teenage son’s weight rack and they’ve held up very well, even during daily use. We’ve also gotten weights that did not weigh what they were supposed to but these were dead on the money.

First off, if the smell when walking into Harbor Freight or Northern Tool makes you nauseous, these aren’t for you. If getting a bit of oily residue on your manicured hands the first couple times you handle something, these aren’t for you. You’ve been warned, so don’t buy them thinking your luck is better than everyone else’s and the rules of the universe somehow don’t apply to you, and then leave a 1 star review whining about the horrible smell and the oily residue.If you are however looking for some bumper plates for a garage gym that won’t break the bank these are for you. They’re nothing special except for heavy round circles that fit Olympic size bars. These are especially great when you snag them on sale for less than $1/lb. The weight seems to be on par with the labels.One real con, and it’s minor, the 45’s are a bit wider than I would have anticipated, they will take up more space on the bar than typical iron weights or the higher end brands do, but it’s also in the listing pictures. However it’s not enough to deter me from buying them in the future when I catch them on sale again. Or find a like new set that someone returned because their luck ran out…

For the money these are probably the best quality weight plates you can get that are a fraction of the price of traditional/metal weight plates. I got 2 45 lb. plates for less than what I would pay for 1 plate of the traditional style at the local sporting goods/fitness store.These come well packed in sturdy boxes, and are wrapped in plastic. There is a bit of shipping grease on them and they do have a little bit of a plastic smell to them. The smell will go away in a few months and just have some wipes on hand when they arrive so you can wipe/clean them off. They look great, have a good feel to them, and work with the 2.5 inch barbells. These were a huge addition to my home gym since I was moving up to heavier weights on squats and deadlifts and needed to buy more plates behind my first 300 lb. Olympic Set. Other plates were cost prohibitive and I was initially skeptical about these given how "cheap" they were/are, but they are high quality and good plates. These have also been great for deadlifts since they are a bit easier on my floor padding than the metal weights.The only drawback is that there isn't a good handle or spot to grip the plate when you take it off the rack, so with the heavier plates you'll have to use 2 hands to pick them up and rack them. Will certainly buy a few more of these when I need to expand my weight set.
