Please consult your doctor before using any exercise equipment or embarking upon any exercise routine. After years of selling gym equipment, I still sometimes have to beg customers to take 2.5kg plates – sometimes even 5kg plates. We have all seen the Ronnie Coleman bodybuilding videos where he just goes up in 45lb plates. It’s important to stay within a financial range you’re comfortable with, but I do suggest that investing in higher quality plates once would be better financially in the long run. Warranty
It will state on your delivery note how many boxes you should receive. If the boxes you receive don't match the delivery note you must write down the number of boxes received on the delivery note next to your signature. Furthermore, Amanda found the plates to be slippery and difficult to handle when her hands got sweaty. She recommends toweling off your hands before handling the plates if you don’t want them to fall out of your grip.Once we receive your old product we will ensure that it is handled in the correct environmentally aware way in line with current WEEE regulations. The diameter of these plates (450 millimeters) is equivalent to the specifications set by the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF), though they aren’t the same as the plates you’d use in a competition setting. Competition bumpers are color-coded and are often thinner than training bumper plates. But competitive Olympic weightlifters can still use them in training because they are durable and have a dead bounce. According to Rogue, they have a shore A durometer of 88. Any damage, failure or loss to any person or property caused by accident, misuse, neglect, abuse, improper assembly, improper maintenance or failure to follow instructions or warnings in the owner’s manual. They can’t be dropped on the floor like rubber bumper plates, but they would be a wonderful asset for general strength training in a garage gym setting. You can buy them in sets of four for the five- or 10-pound plates; in pairs for the 25-, 35-, or 45-pound plates; or in sets of up to 640 pounds.
A note on pairing weight plates with different barbells: For more dynamic lifts (cleans, snatches and overhead work, we would recommend pairing an Olympic weightlifting barbell (see our Weightlifting Bars) with Olympic Bumper Plates. This is because the Olympic Weightlifting bars are more flexible in the shaft and work together with rubber bumpers to absorb impact from high drops. Iron plates used to be much cheaper than bumper plates, as bumper plates have more material. However, the gap has closed within the last couple of years due to an increase in the cost of iron for the manufacturers.
If your old machine is still working, do you know somebody who would like to use it? There are many organisations such as schools, clubs, residential homes etc. who might be very happy to use your old equipment and give it a new home.

For the inexperienced lifter, all you need is a pair of our 1.25kg and 0.5kg rubber coated Olympic plates. These will give you a lot more options in increasing weight. For advanced lifters, powerlifting and weightlifting programs are based around percentages of one rep maximums or similar. These numbers can always be rounded up or down to the nearest 5kg increments. But for some lifters and coaches, the exact numbers must be followed.Like all crumb bumper plates, the PRx plates are very bouncy. When Amanda Dvorak (an editor on the Breaking Muscle team) dropped a barbell loaded with the 45s from hip height, it rebounded a couple of inches above her knees. This is important to note if you don’t want your barbell to bounce uncontrollably and damage other equipment in your home gym.
Bumper plates typically range from 10 to 45 pounds for American weight plates or five to 25 kilograms for international plates. Steel or iron plates can go from 2.5 to 45 pounds or 1.25 to 20 kilograms. Some companies make plates as high as 55 or 100 pounds or 25 or 50 kilograms. Final Thoughts Olympic microplates, otherwise known as fractional plates in 0.25 and 0.5 kilos are a convenient little tool to have at your disposal, some exercises don’t lend themselves well to 2.5-kilo jumps and ideally require micro loading.
If your old equipment is no longer useful to you or anyone you know, please recycle it whenever possible. If you are unable to give your item a new home, there are lots of local organisations available that will reuse, recycle or repair electrical and electronic equipment for charitable schemes. The warranty is VALID ONLY if the product is assembled and/or installed according to the instructions or directions included with the product and applies only to products used in a domestic environment. Products are warranted for indoor home, personal, family or household usage only. Unfortunately, a lot of gyms don’t have microplates, but nothing is stopping you taking your own into the gym with you. All home gyms with a barbell will be served well with a full set. Weight increases with dumbell exercises are generally smaller so if you want to micro load with dumbells you can buy 2 sets. Eleiko is considered the brand for Olympic lifting, and these training bumper plates are almost identical to those used in International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) competitions. They are certified to be within 0.5 percent of the stated weight, which is among the lowest weight tolerance we’ve seen
