    Black Competition Bumper Plates offer the same quality and precision as color-coded competition bumper plates, but with a matte black finish.

    Designed for Olympic lifting and high-frequency training, they can withstand repeated drops from overhead or shoulder height. This makes them suitable for cross-training facilities, high school and university weight rooms, and facilities where the same plates are used for continuous training throughout the day.

    Featuring reinforced zinc-coated steel disc inserts and a low-bounce material, these plates effectively absorb and dissipate impact more effectively than standard bumper plates.

    Large, embossed weight markings make it easy to identify the weight of each plate without relying on color. Additionally, raised rubber lips prevent the steel disc inserts from directly contacting the floor, protecting against floor wear and damage.

    Designed for standard 50mm Olympic barbells, all plates meet a strict weight tolerance of ±10g (0.25%) and conform to IWF (International Weightlifting Federation) standards.

    Each set is designed for long-term use and comes with a 5-year warranty. Furthermore, the factory conducts drop tests of over 30,000 drops from approximately 2.4 meters high to prove their durability.

    The available set combinations are as follows:

    90kg Set: 10kg x 2 plates, 15kg x 2 plates, 20kg x 2 plates
    110kg Set: 10kg x 2 plates, 20kg x 2 plates, 25kg x 2 plates
    120kg Set: 15kg x 2 plates, 20kg x 2 plates, 25kg x 2 plates
    140kg Set: 10kg x 2 plates, 15kg x 2 plates, 20kg x 2 plates, 25kg x 2 plates

    Frequently asked questions

    Bumper plates or iron plates, which should I choose?

    Bumper plates are manufactured to withstand being dropped onto the floor, making them suitable for Olympic weightlifting exercises such as snatches, clean & jerks, and hang cleans, which often involve dropping the plates.

    Iron plates, on the other hand, are suitable for exercises where the weight is not dropped onto the floor, such as bench presses, squats, and curls. Dropping iron plates can damage the floor, barbell, and the plates themselves.

    Once the bumper plates arrive, is there anything I need to do first?

    Once your bumper plates arrive, please remove them from their packaging and air them out in a well-ventilated area for a few days. This will help reduce any product-specific odor that may linger.

    How can I make my bumper plates last longer?

    Try to drop the plates as straight down as possible. If the barbell collar loosens during training, retighten it and ensure the plates always land vertically. This will reduce the lateral forces on the bumper plate's center disc.

    Additionally, using flooring materials that can absorb some impact, such as thick rubber mats or weightlifting platforms, can mitigate the shock when dropping plates.

    Can you put bumper plates and iron plates on the same barbell?

    Generally, we do not recommend mixing bumper plates and iron plates on the same barbell. The diameters of iron plates and bumper plates may differ slightly. If you drop a barbell in such a state, the impact will concentrate on the plate with the larger diameter, which may accelerate wear on that plate and the barbell.

    However, using full-size bumper plates and change plates together is not a problem as long as the total weight of the smaller diameter plates does not exceed 10kg. If it reaches 10kg, we recommend removing the change plates and replacing them with 10kg bumper plates of the same diameter.

    Example:

    If you load one 20kg bumper plate, one 5kg plate, and one 2.5kg plate on each side of the barbell, the total weight will be 75kg, and this combination is fine. If you want to increase it to 80kg, instead of adding smaller plates, remove all the change plates and replace them with 10kg bumper plates.

    To ensure your plates and barbell last as long as possible, we recommend using the same type of plates whenever possible.

    What is the diameter of the center hole? Also, what size barbells does it accommodate?

    All REP bumper plates are Olympic standard with a 50mm center hole, compatible with 50mm Olympic barbells.
