But that doesn\u2019t mean you should pick just any old pair off the internet. If you want to invest in a high-quality piece of equipment that can withstand years of use and plenty of drops, we\u2019ve found the ideal plate: REP Fitness\u2019 Black Bumper Plates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cThey\u2019re super durable and can withstand all the punishment you could ask for in a pair of&nbsp;bumper plates,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;says our lead product tester&nbsp;Jake Herod, who gave them a 5 out of 5 for durability. REP\u2019s plates have been factory tested to withstand more than 12,000 drops from eight feet high with zero damage to the plates. And we also love that they don\u2019t bounce much, either. Considering you\u2019re probably adding to your&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/home-gym-essentials\/\">home gym equipment<\/a>, this is a must-have feature to protect your floors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we took these plates through a variety of exercises, including deadlifts, back\/front squats, bench presses, and cleans, we noticed a few things straight off the bat. Ranging from $69.99 to $209.99 per pair, REP\u2019s bumpers are pretty meticulously built. For one, the 10-pound plates are an inch thick (most others less than an inch) to reduce the likelihood of bending with use. Also, the 45-pound plates are thinner than most (about 2.8 inches thick) to accommodate more loading on your barbell.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"videos\"><div class=\"video-wrapper\"><div class=\"container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube js-lazyload--not-loaded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2ZG3JXSoHFM\" class=\"lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube\" data-video-title=\"REP Black Bumper Plates Review (2022) - BEST Home Gym Option?\" title=\"Play video &quot;REP Black Bumper Plates Review (2022) - BEST Home Gym Option?&quot;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2ZG3JXSoHFM<\/a><noscript>Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2ZG3JXSoHFM\" title=\"REP Black Bumper Plates Review (2022) - BEST Home Gym Option?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">REP Black Bumper Plates Review (2022) &#8211; BEST Home Gym Option?

Herod.&nbsp;<em>\u201cA lot of the time, you\u2019ll find&nbsp;bumper plates&nbsp;have a handle, and that\u2019s really helpful for loading and unloading, as well as specific exercises, like a front shoulder raise,\u201d&nbsp;<\/em>he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section id='block_162ecc377a27fecbbf85152d320cf4a3' class='p4-blocks-carousel-image'>\n\t<div

Ranging from $59.97 to $159.97 per single plate, these are built with urethane rubber, an ultra-durable material. To the touch, they\u2019ll feel harder than a rubber plate (like REP\u2019s pick above) but not fully stiff like plastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a competitive weightlifter myself, I needed some really durable plates because I own a&nbsp;weightlifting&nbsp;gym, and our plates get dropped a lot from overhead during&nbsp;snatches&nbsp;and clean-and-jerks. The&nbsp;Titan&nbsp;urethane&nbsp;plates have been a fantastic solution because&nbsp;urethane&nbsp;is so much more durable than your typical rubber or&nbsp;crumb&nbsp;rubber bumper.&nbsp;When it comes to material and<em>&nbsp;<\/em>durability, I give these a 5 out of 5 rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-small-margin\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_5490-1024x782.jpg\" alt=\"Kate using Titan.Fitness plates\" class=\"wp-image-227449\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:760px;height:427px\" width=\"760\" height=\"427\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Kate using Titan.Fitness Urethane Plates while deadlifting.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Urethane isn\u2019t necessarily better or worse than any other plate materials \u2014 it\u2019s just different. And it may be ideal for your purposes! Urethane is denser than rubber, so it won\u2019t bounce nearly as much as a rubber plate. Athletes training at home may love this because it\u2019s safer for your floors and minimizes noise.&nbsp;I have owned these plates for more than a year. They get used almost every day by&nbsp;weightlifters&nbsp;for squats,&nbsp;deadlifts,&nbsp;Olympic lifts&nbsp;\u2014 you name it \u2014 and we haven\u2019t had one issue with floor damage or noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the advantages of the material, one of our testers didn\u2019t totally love the structural details, giving the design a 3.5 out of 5 rating. <em>&#8220;The edges have a small lip and flat design, which I think is hard to pick up,&#8221;<\/em> according to our tester. For those who want some more grip, our tester recommends trying Eleiko&#8217;s rubber plates or the Rogue Fitness training plates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 5-kilogram plates are a little weird for two reasons. They\u2019re smaller in diameter than standard plate size but not quite as small as a change plate either.&nbsp;I believe it\u2019s because if they stretched the lighter plate bigger, the&nbsp;urethane&nbsp;would be too thin and lose durability. The 5-kilo weights are also black, whereas typically in weightlifting, these plates are white (and smaller).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We do like that these are color-coded for easy selection. However, they are a little pricey, earning the cast a 4 out of 5. These start at around $64.99 per pair, which is a little costly for a 10-pound pair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"best-weight-plate-sets-fringe-sport-black-bumper-plate-sets\"><strong>Best Weight Plate&nbsp;Sets:&nbsp;Fringe Sport<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Black Bumper Plate&nbsp;Sets<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wpcd-coupon-two wpcd-coupon-id-227438\" onclick=\"window.open('https:\/\/barbend.com\/go\/fringe-sport-bumper-plates\/', '_blank');\">\r\n\r\n           <div class=\"wpcd-col-1-4\">\r\n\r\n    \t\t<div  class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-mobile-title mobile\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wpcd-coupon-title\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tFringe Sport Black Bumper Plate Sets\r\n                \t<\/span>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t \t\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n        <figure>\r\n\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-img\" src=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fringe-sport-black-bumper-plate-sets-275x275.png\" alt=\"Fringe Sport Black Bumper Plate Sets\" title=\"Fringe Sport Black Bumper Plate Sets\">\r\n\r\n        <\/figure>\r\n\r\n            <div class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-title\">\r\n\r\n        \r\n\r\n\r\n            <\/div>    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"wpcd-col-3-4\">\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-header desktop\">\r\n\r\n            <div>\r\n\r\n            \r\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wpcd-coupon-title\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tFringe Sport Black Bumper Plate Sets\r\n                \t<\/span>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t \t\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\r\n         <div class=\"wpcd-coupon-description\">\r\n\r\n            <span class=\"wpcd-full-description\"><p>Fringe Sport's Black Bumper Plates come in small-increment sets, so you can find your ideal combination of plates.

But when you buy an entire set of plates, you can get all your necessities at once, plus save a little cash, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While many other plate brands offer set options, none are quite as versatile as Fringe Sport. Their sets include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-call-out-dumbbell is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>100lb:<\/strong> 10lb\/15lb\/25lb for $270<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>160lb:<\/strong> 10lb\/25lb\/45lb for $369<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>170lb:<\/strong> 15lb\/25lb\/45lb for $399<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>190lb:<\/strong> 10lb\/15lb\/25lb\/45lb for $450<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>230lb:<\/strong> 10lb\/25lb\/35lb\/45lb for $515<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>250lb:<\/strong> 10lb\/25lb\/45lb\/45lb for $559<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>260lb:<\/strong> 10lb\/15lb\/25lb\/34lb\/45lb for $595<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>370lb:<\/strong> 10lb\/15lb\/25lb\/45lb\/45lb\/45lb for $800<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>370lb:<\/strong> 10lb\/15lb\/25lb\/35lb\/45lb\/55lb for $800<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>460lb:<\/strong> 10lb\/15lb\/25lb\/45lb\/45lb\/45lb\/45lb for $950<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, there\u2019s seemingly endless combinations of weights in Fringe Sport\u2019s sets. Plus, each individual weight comes in a pair, not a single plate. However, you want to choose carefully. For instance, if you own or plan to buy small change plates, you may not need some of the in-between weights, like 15-pound plates. So, think critically about your purposes before you buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another little-known fact: Rubber plates stink \u2014 literally. The material can actually create a pretty strong odor when first unboxed. But Fringe Sport\u2019s virgin rubber is brand-new, meaning it has less impurities and foreign substances, which tend to create the unwanted odor you find with most plates. <em>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t notice any odor with these at all, though I know it&#8217;s pretty common,&#8221; <\/em>our tester said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where durability is concerned, we gave these plates a 5 out of 5. These are perfectly safe to drop during your Olympic lifts and you shouldn&#8217;t expect any issues with damage. These also have a slim, sleek profile. However, we had to give the design a 4 out of 5, as the lip is pretty low profile, making grip a little more challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fringe Sport tested these plates with a durometer, too, finding they\u2019re actually pretty stiff with a low bounce. The 10-pound and 15-pound weights were a 90 sHA reading, while the other sizes were 85 sHA. <em>&#8220;These don&#8217;t have as much bounce as other plates we&#8217;ve tested,&#8221;<\/em> our tester said. <em>&#8220;They&#8217;re better for athletes who don&#8217;t need to prioritize this characteristic too much.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this is ideal for at-home gyms where protecting your floors is crucial, it may not be the best for athletes who prefer a little bounce. For athletes who want good bounce with their plates, we recommend PRx&#8217;s crumb rubber plates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"most-durable-bumper-plates-iron-bull-strength-bp-plates\"><strong>Most Durable&nbsp;Bumper Plates: Iron Bull Strength BP Plates<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wpcd-coupon-two wpcd-coupon-id-227436\" onclick=\"window.open('https:\/\/barbend.com\/go\/iron-bull-strength-olympic-weight-plates-and-sets\/', '_blank');\">\r\n\r\n           <div class=\"wpcd-col-1-4\">\r\n\r\n    \t\t<div  class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-mobile-title mobile\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wpcd-coupon-title\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tIron Bull Strength BP Plates\r\n                \t<\/span>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t \t\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n        <figure>\r\n\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-img\" src=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ironbull-strength-training-bumper-plates-275x275.png\" alt=\"Iron Bull Strength BP Plates\" title=\"Iron Bull Strength BP Plates\">\r\n\r\n        <\/figure>\r\n\r\n            <div class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-title\">\r\n\r\n        \r\n\r\n\r\n            <\/div>    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"wpcd-col-3-4\">\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-header desktop\">\r\n\r\n            <div>\r\n\r\n            \r\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wpcd-coupon-title\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tIron Bull Strength BP Plates\r\n                \t<\/span>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t \t\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\r\n         <div class=\"wpcd-coupon-description\">\r\n\r\n            <span class=\"wpcd-full-description\"><p>Iron Bull's virgin rubber bumper plates are durable and can withstand plenty of drops with zero cracks or scratches.

These have been tested to endure tens of thousands of drops with no damage and after some personal testing, we think they\u2019re up to snuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While we hunted for a pair of durable plates, personal experience was key. Our tester took these plates through two separate workouts, which included full cleans, hang cleans, squats, and deadlifts. In other words, plenty of drops from different heights.&nbsp;<em>\u201cThe plates landed with no scratches, dents or cracks,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;our tester says, giving the durability a 5 out of 5 rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also noticed very minimal bounce when dropped, which we prefer, as we love to keep our testing garage in tip-top shape.

best for CrossFitters, as they have a pretty high bounce compared to stiffer plates. So, if you\u2019re a powerlifter training for a competition, you may want to browse some of our other options, like Iron Bull&#8217;s Strength BP Rubber Plates.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our tester just loved the flakey, speckled look of the plates themselves, giving them a 5 out of 5 for aesthetics.&nbsp;<em>\u201cThese can be a fun addition to any&nbsp;home gym, thanks to the appearance,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;they say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As they\u2019re made with recycled materials, these plates are also cheaper than most competitors. The 10-pound plates are only $59.99 per pair, whereas others sit at $65 and up. Several customer reviews also point out the speedy delivery time, noting it takes only a few days until they arrive.

From their durable construction to the thicker design, they make a good fit for just about any WOD. We know this because our product tester used them multiple times across various exercises, including deadlifts, hang cleans, thrusters, and squats, giving them a 5 out of 5 for overall durability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;These can withstand plenty of use,&#8221; <\/em>according to our product tester. <em>&#8220;I can&#8217;t imagine them breaking down even after a bunch of tough CrossFit workouts.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These plates are thicker than most others, which is suitable for CrossFit, considering how many times a barbell gets dropped in a single workout. The 10-pound plates are thicker than most others at about 1.10 inches thick (typically, they\u2019re under an inch). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These plates also load<em>&nbsp;\u201creally smoothly,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;our tester said.&nbsp;<em>\u201cThey slid on the bar easily but didn\u2019t budge when I dropped them from over my head.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em>When it comes to loading, we gave these a 5 out of 5, which is helpful as you\u2019re switching quickly from one exercise to the next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"videos\"><div class=\"video-wrapper\"><div class=\"container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube js-lazyload--not-loaded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lNcO84NKJPs\" class=\"lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube\" data-video-title=\"Nike Grind Bumper Plates Review (2023) \u2014 Worth Your $$$?\" title=\"Play video &quot;Nike Grind Bumper Plates Review (2023) \u2014 Worth Your $$$?&quot;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lNcO84NKJPs<\/a><noscript>Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lNcO84NKJPs\" title=\"Nike Grind Bumper Plates Review (2023) \u2014 Worth Your $$$?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nike Grind Bumper Plates Review (2023) \u2014 Worth Your $$$?

Generally, recycled rubber plates may bounce a little higher than virgin rubber, according to Jake Herod, NASM-CNC. However, our other product tester gave these specific plates a 4.5 out of 5 for bounce, saying,&nbsp;<em>\u201cthey have very little overall bounce. I\u2019d recommend these plates for&nbsp;Olympic lifting&nbsp;and the big three lifts.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For athletes who prefer a little more bounce to their plates, we recommend the PRx Crumb Rubber bumper plates.

These IPF-approved Rogue plates certainly fit the bill.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rogue\u2019s plates are designed with the powerlifting athlete in mind. They\u2019re machine-calibrated for accuracy within plus or minus 10 grams of the written weight, making these the most accurate plates on this list.&nbsp;<em>\u201cThey\u2019re [also] very thin,\u201d&nbsp;<\/em>our tester says, giving the design a 4 out of 5.&nbsp;<em>\u201cSo, you can stack plenty of plates onto the bar at once.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-small-margin\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_5515-1024x473.jpeg\" alt=\"Kate using Rogue calibrated steel plates.\" class=\"wp-image-227453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_5515-1024x473.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_5515-768x355.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_5515-1536x710.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_5515-50x23.jpeg 50w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_5515-595x275.jpeg 595w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_5515.jpeg 1792w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Kate performing a deadlift with Rogue&#8217;s calibrated steel plates.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Whereas most other picks on this list are rubber, these are steel, so you actually shouldn\u2019t be dropping these after a lift. Steel plates aren\u2019t as versatile as other weight plates, so we recommend REP Fitness&#8217; Urethane Black Bumper plates if you want more bounce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After taking these through squats, deadlifts, and <a href=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/bench-press\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/bench-press\/\">bench press<\/a>, our tester gave these a 4 out of 5 for durability, as they\u2019re<em>&nbsp;\u201ccast iron, not ductile iron, which is a less durable material,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;he says. He also noticed some issues with the paint, which took away from a perfect rating (more on that below).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These steel plates come in a wide variety of weight options, giving you more flexibility in your loads than standard bumper plates. There are also two set options, however it\u2019s quite a big jump from a 150-kg set and a 459-kg set. So, if your needs land somewhere in the middle, you have to buy individual pairs, which isn\u2019t too convenient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-small-margin\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"760\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Jake-Benching-with-the-Gymreapers-Wrist-Wraps.jpg\" alt=\"Jake benching with the Gymreapers Wrist Wraps\" class=\"wp-image-181090\" srcset=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Jake-Benching-with-the-Gymreapers-Wrist-Wraps.jpg 760w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Jake-Benching-with-the-Gymreapers-Wrist-Wraps-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Jake-Benching-with-the-Gymreapers-Wrist-Wraps-50x28.jpg 50w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Jake-Benching-with-the-Gymreapers-Wrist-Wraps-489x275.jpg 489w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Jake-Benching-with-the-Gymreapers-Wrist-Wraps-360x203.jpg 360w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Jake-Benching-with-the-Gymreapers-Wrist-Wraps-750x421.jpg 750w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Jake-Benching-with-the-Gymreapers-Wrist-Wraps-214x120.jpg 214w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Jake-Benching-with-the-Gymreapers-Wrist-Wraps-130x73.jpg 130w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Jake-Benching-with-the-Gymreapers-Wrist-Wraps-560x315.jpg 560w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Jake-Benching-with-the-Gymreapers-Wrist-Wraps-345x194.jpg 345w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Jake-Benching-with-the-Gymreapers-Wrist-Wraps-650x365.jpg 650w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jake benching with Rogue plates and Gymreapers Wrist Wraps.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While the actual weight is high-quality and extremely accurate, our tester wasn\u2019t a fan of the paint.&nbsp;<em>\u201cThere were some chips right out of the box,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;he says.&nbsp;<em>\u201cThey chip very quickly, but I think chipped plates are a patina and less of an issue, so over time, they chip and fade but personally, I like that look,<\/em>\u201d he says. So, if pristine plates are a priority, these may not be the best bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, if you have any issues with the plates, aside from use-related wear, Rogue doesn\u2019t seem to extend warranties on this product. It\u2019s best to contact customer service, as the company seems to handle these issues on a case-by-case basis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"best-budget-weight-plates-cap-barbell-olympic-grip-plates\"><strong>Best Budget Weight Plates: CAP&nbsp;Barbell<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Olympic<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Grip Plates<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wpcd-coupon-two wpcd-coupon-id-227441\" onclick=\"window.open('https:\/\/amzn.to\/3NhAMf3', '_blank');\">\r\n\r\n           <div class=\"wpcd-col-1-4\">\r\n\r\n    \t\t<div  class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-mobile-title mobile\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wpcd-coupon-title\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCAP Barbell Olympic Grip Plates\r\n                \t<\/span>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t \t\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n        <figure>\r\n\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-img\" src=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/cap-barbell-olympic-grip-weight-plate-275x275.png\" alt=\"CAP Barbell Olympic Grip Plates\" title=\"CAP Barbell Olympic Grip Plates\">\r\n\r\n        <\/figure>\r\n\r\n            <div class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-title\">\r\n\r\n        \r\n\r\n\r\n            <\/div>    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"wpcd-col-3-4\">\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-header desktop\">\r\n\r\n            <div>\r\n\r\n            \r\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wpcd-coupon-title\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCAP Barbell Olympic Grip Plates\r\n                \t<\/span>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t \t\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\r\n         <div class=\"wpcd-coupon-description\">\r\n\r\n            <span class=\"wpcd-full-description\"><p>These cast-iron weight plates are plenty durable and considering they're available on Amazon Prime, you can get them delivered in just a matter of days.

These cast iron weight plates are available on Amazon Prime and range in price from $20.99 to $62.99, which is among the cheapest options on this list, earning a 5 out of 5 for cost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The solid cast iron material here is built to last for years and won\u2019t chip or dent. You also don\u2019t have to worry about the thinner plates bending, either, as may happen with thinner, lighter bumpers, too. Compared to some bumper plates, these definitely deserve a 5 out of 5 for durability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that said, cast-iron plates aren\u2019t suitable for all athletes. These have absolutely zero bounce and shouldn\u2019t be dropped at all, as they can damage your floors. Cast iron plates don\u2019t have any rubbery protection, so the damage to your home (or foot, if dropped) can be instant. If you want plates that can be dropped, we recommend Nike&#8217;s Rubber Bumper Plates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They\u2019re also not as perfectly calibrated as other products. One customer review noted that a few of their 10-pound plates actually measured 10.5 pounds. While this isn\u2019t a huge discrepancy, it may be important to some athletes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Personally, I recommend buying these as change plates to go along with some bumpers. At my own home gym, I mainly use bumper plates and tack on a few five-pound CAP plates here and there. That way, I can still drop my barbell after a lift without damaging my garage floor because the cast iron plates never actually touch the ground. I\u2019d give them a 3 out of 5 for versatility but 4.5 out of 5 for quality, especially for a budget-friendly Amazon find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CAP Barbell\u2019s plates have handles along the sides, so you can maneuver the weights easily as you load more onto your barbell.

And Olympic weightlifting is no exception. So, when you\u2019re practicing your lifts at home, competition weight plates are a must-have. Enter, Rogue\u2019s Color KG Training Plates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rogue\u2019s plates are IWF-approved but as they\u2019re only training plates, you get all the benefits of competition standards without paying the high price usually associated with competition plates. Whereas most other plates have a weight tolerance of plus or minus one percent, these are even more specific, guaranteeing plus or minus 15 grams of the plate\u2019s written weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you\u2019ll notice, the weights are written on the plates in kilograms, which is also in line with what you can expect at a competition. But to make your life easier, Rogue does make these plates in pounds as well. Regardless of the writing, the color-coding makes finding your desired plate super simple, earning the design a 5 out of 5. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;I&#8217;ve used these plates for nearly six years and they&#8217;ve held up incredibly well,&#8221; <\/em>our tester said, giving the durability a 5 out of 5. <em>&#8220;They&#8217;re incredibly high quality and they have a lower bounce, which some athletes may like.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rogue tested these with a durometer (a device that measures the hardness of a material) to make sure you get as little bounce as possible. Durometers measure on a scale of 70 to 90, 70 being super soft, while 90 is very hard. Considering these plates are an 86, you don\u2019t have to worry about them bouncing back up when dropped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These do have a pretty high price tag, which can be a turnoff for some customers, earning a 3 out of 5 for cost. The 25-pound plate pair costs $205, whereas others price this weight at around $100 to $150. For those who want a more budget-friendly bumper option, we recommend PRx&#8217;s Crumb Rubber Bumper Plates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;These are a little slick, which I&#8217;d recommend you keep in mind,&#8221;<\/em> our tester said. <em>&#8220;I&#8217;ve definitely noticed people have a little trouble picking them up off the ground at my home gym.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rogue also doesn\u2019t offer any warranty information on weight plates one either the product page or warranty page. But based off customer feedback, it seems to be a case-by-case basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-we-chose-and-tested-the-best-weight-plates\">How We Chose and Tested the&nbsp;Best Weight Plates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s certainly no shortage of Olympic weight plates on the market. Thankfully, we&#8217;ve taken a lot of that burden off your&nbsp;<em>plate<\/em>&nbsp;and compiled this list that has options for a range of needs. When making this list and testing plates, we took the following factors into account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Price: <\/strong>The price of weight plates can range from around $30 for a light and cost-effective plate to thousands of dollars for a competition set of calibrated discs approved by a governing body or federation. We considered the price against the actual value the plates provide. For the more expensive plates, we made sure they had stand-out factors, like IPF-approval, impressive weight tolerance, and good durometer measurements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Durability:<\/strong> <em>&#8220;Weight plates are designed to be picked up and then put down&#8230;sometimes none-too-gently,&#8221;<\/em> explains Alex Polish, a certified personal trainer and<em> <\/em>a <em>BarBend <\/em>editorial team member. <em>&#8220;Their job is literally to be dropped onto the ground after a heavy set (not with a back squat, hopefully: we&#8217;re thinking about deadlifts and Olympic lifts here). So, you want the most durable plates you can afford.&#8221;<\/em> That\u2019s why we put these plates through countless drop tests and workouts to see how they actually perform in action. We selected products that held up with no cracks, dents, or scratches.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Material:<\/strong> There are several different common materials for quality plates, including crumb rubber, virgin rubber, cast iron, and steel. No one material is necessarily better than the other but they serve different purposes for different athletes. <em>&#8220;CrossFitters and weightlifters will generally need rubber plates to withstand all those drops, whereas steel, calibrated plates will suit a powerlifter better. You may also want to consider the environmental impact of the materials and opt for something recycled.&#8221;<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Weight Tolerance:<\/strong> The most reputable brands and products list a weight tolerance. That describes the deviation you can expect to see from the written weight of the plate. For instance, most commonly, you may see a weight tolerance of plus or minus one percent. So, for a 45-pound plate, the true weight of the product will be plus or minus one percent of 45 (about 0.45 pounds).&nbsp;For most athletes, a plus or minus one percent tolerance is perfectly fine. However, competitive athletes need more precision. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bounce Height:<\/strong> Different bounce heights are better suited to different athletes and fitness goals. Some may like a higher bounce as it can be easier to move through high-rep sets of exercises like deadlifts, for instance. Other athletes may be training on sensitive floors and prefer as little bounce as possible. We put these plates through plenty of exercises and drops to get an accurate idea of how high or low they bounce. We also made sure to get an idea of the different plates\u2019 durometer readings (when available). <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Purchase Options:<\/strong> You can buy plates a bunch of different ways. You can buy them as singles, pairs, or in a set. Some readers may just need a single 10-pound plate, whereas others want to deck out their entire home gym with multiple sets. So, we tried to provide as much variety as possible.&nbsp;We also know shipping can rack up quite a bit of money, so we emphasized products that offer free shipping, too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"benefits-of-weight-plates\">Benefits of Weight Plates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re ready to progress from dumbbell squats to a barbell or just want to tack more weight onto your favorite exercise, you\u2019re going to need some weight plates. Not only do they help you progress, but plates are extremely versatile and can save a ton of space, compared to weight machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Versatility:<\/strong> Weight plates can be used for nearly any exercise you can think of \u2014 and they don&#8217;t need to be loaded onto a barbell exclusively. Weight plates can even be used by themselves or attached to other pieces of equipment as resistance, such as ab-rollers&nbsp;and plate-loaded cable machines.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Room to Progress:<\/strong> Varying resistance using weight plates is extremely easy, even easier than using dumbbells or kettlebells. All you have to do is add or remove plates of different weights. If you want to progress slowly through strength training, there are change plates down to as small as a quarter of a pound that you can purchase.&nbsp;<em>&#8220;Don&#8217;t forget about change plates when it comes to progressive overload,&#8221; <\/em>encourages Alex Polish, a certified personal trainer and <em>BarBend <\/em>editorial team member. <em>&#8220;These little plates may be less sexy to buy, but the investment will be worth it when you&#8217;re ready to really train to hit a new one-rep max.&#8221;<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Space Savings:<\/strong> Weight plates do need some space, especially if you have a full set and a <a href=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/best-weight-racks\/\">weight rack<\/a>. You can save plenty of space by laying your plates flat or leaning them up against the wall, though. And even a full weight rack generally takes up way less space than a full&nbsp;dumbbell set&nbsp;or weight machine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-much-do-weight-plates-cost\">How Much Do&nbsp;Weight Plates&nbsp;Cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Weight plates, like weight benches and barbells, vary in cost based on their material, whether they&#8217;re competition approved, how much the plates weigh, and many other factors. Weight plates range widely in cost compared to other types of gym equipment, starting around $30 for a light and non-specialized plate and increasing to nearly $3,000 for a full competition set of calibrated discs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-border-color has-primary-border-color\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Best Weight Plates<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;Overall<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>REP Fitness<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Black Bumper Plates<\/strong><\/td><td>Pairs from $99.99 to $209 and sets from $368.99 to $746.99<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Best&nbsp;Urethane&nbsp;Plates<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Titan&nbsp;Fitness LB Color&nbsp;Urethane Bumper Plates<\/strong><\/td><td>Pairs from $59.97 to $159.97 and sets for $1,014.97<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong><strong>Best Weight Plate&nbsp;Sets<\/strong><\/strong><\/td><td><strong><strong>Fringe Sport<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Black Bumper Plate&nbsp;Sets<\/strong><\/strong><\/td><td>Sets from $270 to $950<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Most Durable&nbsp;Bumper Plates<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Iron Bull Strength BP Plates<\/strong><\/td><td>Pairs from $65 to $210 and sets from $375 to $765<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Best&nbsp;Rubber Weight Plates&nbsp;(Bumper Plates)<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>PRx&nbsp;Crumb&nbsp;Rubber Plate<\/strong><\/td><td>Pairs from $59.99 to $199.99 and sets from $369 to $599<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Best Weight Plates<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;for&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>CrossFit<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Nike Strength&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>Rubber Bumper Plates<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;(Grind)<\/strong><\/td><td>Single plates from $38 to $110<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Best Weight Plates&nbsp;for&nbsp;Powerlifting<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Rogue&nbsp;Calibrated KG Steel Plates<\/strong><\/td><td>Pairs from $114 to $303 and sets from $1,087 to $2,937 with change plate pairs from $31 to $72<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Best Budget Weight Plates<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>CAP&nbsp;Barbell<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Olympic<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Grip Plates<\/strong><\/td><td>Individual plates from $34.02 to $62.99 and sets from $20.99 to $44.93<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong><strong>Best Weight Plates&nbsp;for Competition<\/strong><\/strong><\/td><td><strong><strong>Rogue&nbsp;Color KG Training Plates<\/strong><\/strong><\/td><td>Pairs from $191 to $479 and sets from $797 to $1,241<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-to-consider-before-buying-weight-plates\">What to Consider Before Buying&nbsp;Weight Plates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bumper plates, cast iron plates, metal plates, handles or no handles? There are a lot of choices to make when purchasing something as simple as weights. Here are some things you\u2019ll want to consider when browsing different types of weight plates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"your-training-priorities\">Your Training Priorities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re an Olympic Weightlifter or a CrossFitter, you\u2019ll need bumper plates. It\u2019s that simple. For everyone else, you have many more options available. Powerlifters, bodybuilders, or casual lifters can all get away with using whatever plates they want so long as they aren\u2019t slamming bars to the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means you can potentially save a lot of money, though there are also plenty of high end traditional plates if you\u2019re looking to splurge or need a top-of-the-line product to train for competition.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"your-budget\">Your Budget<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally bumper plates are more expensive than traditional plates, although this isn\u2019t always the case. Certain features like urethane coverings or certification by a sport federation will mean that cast iron plates can be just as costly, if not more expensive, than a similar <a href=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/best-bumper-plates\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/best-bumper-plates\/\">bumper plate<\/a>. Our advice is generally to aim for the mid-range and consider your needs. You get great quality here, but don\u2019t end up paying through the nose for features that you don\u2019t actually need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"durability\">Durability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>None of the plates on this list should have any issues with durability unless you ignore any of the company\u2019s recommendations. Dropping cast iron plates from an overhead press or leaving a set of metal plates outside to face the elements would be prime examples of neglect. That being said, there are a wide range of durable options available, so if you plan on (literally) throwing your weight around and don\u2019t want to worry about your purchase surviving, we\u2019d recommend spending more for an extra durable option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"handles\">Handles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Handles usually aren\u2019t available on bumper plates, so if you\u2019re partial to them, you\u2019ll probably end up going with traditional weight plates. Handles can make loading and unloading your bar much more convenient and some consider them essential to save time and effort. This will restrict your choices, but if it\u2019s a priority for you, the options with handles on this list are reliable and high-quality choices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"colors\">Colors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You want neon pink plates with a bright green logo? It can be done. There are now plates available in every color under the sun. You\u2019ll pay extra for this, of course, so those with a more restrictive budget should stick to black and make the most of other features.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from customization, Olympic bumper plates are often color-coded for competition; if you compete in powerlifting or weightlifting, you\u2019ll see that the reds are always 25-kilo plates, the blues are always 20-kilo plates, and so on. Even the fractional plates are colored uniformly across the sports.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"common-materials-used-in-weight-plates\">Common Materials Used In&nbsp;Weight Plates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the variety in shapes of plates, the materials used to manufacture them won\u2019t change that much. Here\u2019s an overview of the main options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cast-iron\">Cast Iron<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pretty easy to understand here, many plates are simply made from iron cast into a solid block. These metal weights are usually then coated with either rubber or urethane, or sometimes plated with another rust-resistant metal. These plates are going to be the cheapest option generally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"steel\">Steel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Steel plates are inherently more durable than iron, and can be one of multiple different alloys. Resistant to rust, they can, however, be more brittle depending on the carbon content and will be more expensive than cast iron options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"urethane\">Urethane<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Urethane is the most durable \u2014 and also the most expensive \u2014 option for covering the outside of weight plates. It\u2019s very resistant to&nbsp;wear and tear&nbsp;and is also great if you want to customize your plates. Companies can add letters, numbers, and even logos if they wish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-small-margin\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"760\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Jake-doing-an-Incline-Bench-Press-with-the-Living.Fit-Weight-Plates-1.jpg\" alt=\"Jake doing an Incline Bench Press with the Living.Fit Weight Plates\" class=\"wp-image-205186\" srcset=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Jake-doing-an-Incline-Bench-Press-with-the-Living.Fit-Weight-Plates-1.jpg 760w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Jake-doing-an-Incline-Bench-Press-with-the-Living.Fit-Weight-Plates-1-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Jake-doing-an-Incline-Bench-Press-with-the-Living.Fit-Weight-Plates-1-50x28.jpg 50w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Jake-doing-an-Incline-Bench-Press-with-the-Living.Fit-Weight-Plates-1-491x275.jpg 491w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Jake-doing-an-Incline-Bench-Press-with-the-Living.Fit-Weight-Plates-1-360x203.jpg 360w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Jake-doing-an-Incline-Bench-Press-with-the-Living.Fit-Weight-Plates-1-214x120.jpg 214w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Jake-doing-an-Incline-Bench-Press-with-the-Living.Fit-Weight-Plates-1-130x73.jpg 130w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Jake-doing-an-Incline-Bench-Press-with-the-Living.Fit-Weight-Plates-1-560x315.jpg 560w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Jake-doing-an-Incline-Bench-Press-with-the-Living.Fit-Weight-Plates-1-345x194.jpg 345w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Jake-doing-an-Incline-Bench-Press-with-the-Living.Fit-Weight-Plates-1-750x420.jpg 750w, https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Jake-doing-an-Incline-Bench-Press-with-the-Living.Fit-Weight-Plates-1-650x365.jpg 650w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jake performing bench press with Living.Fit weight plates.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally urethane is the go-to for commercial gyms where equipment will be heavily used, but isn\u2019t as necessary for home gyms or recreational lifters looking to build out their bonus rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"rubber\">Rubber<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Rubber is cheaper and less durable than urethane, but for the average lifter, you shouldn\u2019t notice many major differences. If you want the cheapest of the cheap, then look for plates made with recycled rubber, although beware there are some reports of these plates smelling odd. Virgin rubber will be slightly more expensive, but should be odorless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bumper-plates-vs-traditional-plates-what-are-the-differences\">Bumper Plates&nbsp;vs. Traditional Plates \u2014 What are the Differences?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you aren\u2019t immersed in the lifting world, it isn\u2019t immediately obvious why you should want to buy a set of bumper plates instead of a set of cast iron plates.

That said, you can equip your gym with a heavy set of high-quality plates with a range of weights for anywhere from around $500 to $1,000. That may sound like a lot, but plates are generally something you only need to purchase once.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1722032632733\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \" class=\"rank-math-question \" id=\"what-are-the-different-types-of-plates\">What are the different types of plates?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>They tend to fall into two main categories: Bumper plates are designed to be used in Olympic Weightlifting and are resistant to being dropped for that reason. Traditional plates are generally cheaper, made from metal, and usually popular in commercial gyms. The lines have blurred somewhat with the growth of all types of fitness, but broadly speaking this is still true.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1722032671240\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \" class=\"rank-math-question \" id=\"does-it-matter-if-i-drop-metal-weight-plates\">Does it matter if I drop metal weight plates?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>That depends on how big the drop is. Dropping a bar from overhead will have a much different result compared to dropping it from say a deadlift. Metal plates should survive the odd drop if you\u2019re deadlifting and the bar slips out your hands, but we would strongly recommend avoiding dropping metal plates as they could get damaged, or damage your flooring.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Weight plates may not be as flashy as some of the&nbsp;best cable machines&nbsp;or smart gyms.
