Olympic Bumper Plates

Yes, the 25 and 45lb plates have a 3 year warranty while the 10lb plates have a 6-month warranty for both home and commercial use.

Please note that mixing iron plates with bumper plates will void your warranty, since the iron plates have a smaller diameter leading to the bumper plates absorbing all of the impact.

Unlike most bumper plates on the market, your new plates don't need any time to air out the sharp rubber smell.

Our plates are coated in oil at manufacturing to ensure they arrive in pristine condition - wipe them with a cloth or mix a small amount of dish soap in water and wipe them down. Some customers have reported that sprinkling hand chalk can further help to give the plates a rock solid grip from day one, but a quick wipe down is sufficient.

It's recommended to drop the bar straight down to a padded flooring (like rubber or foam mats or a drop pad), and to keep your collars tightly secured next to the plates. This will ensure minimal impact on the solid steel insert and ensure that your plates are solid for tens of thousands of reps.

Weight plates typically come in one of two types: metal weights and rubber bumper plates. Iron weight plates are more durable and deliver the distinctive sound and feel, while rubber and rubber coated plates are preferred by lifters that want to be able to drop weights from height.

We might be biased, but for us nothing beats the classic look, feel, and sound of Barbell Standard Olympic Iron Weight Plates. Bumper plates are ideal for lifters planning to do movements like cleans, snatches and jerks where the movement includes dropping the bar to the ground.

All orders are shipped within one business day, with same-day processing for orders placed by 10am ET. You'll receive tracking links with detailed delivery info and your packages will arrive in 2-4 days.

Iron weight plates from other companies can vary by 5% or even 10% from their stated weight. This means you could have a 45 pound weight on each side of the bar that varies by up to nine pounds!

No other company offers free replacements like we do for the rare case that one of your plates is outside of our market-leading 2% tolerance guarantee.

Barbell Standard Olympic weight plates have a 2" center hole, while standard plates have a 1" center hole. We advise not to use our 2" plates with a 1" barbell.

We offer a variety of 2" Barbells and Specialty Bars and that are fully compatible with our Olympic plates.
