Aside from the potential damage to the barbell I'm curious to see how the plates themselves hold up after a large number of drops compared to traditional designs.
Thank you so much!! We are definitely coming out with the other sizes and making them black with a different design. Work in progress and should be launched early 2025
I don't really get it. If you need bumpers, buy quality bumpers/deep dish that spread the load across the sleeve and floor on impact. If you want thin/compact, buy iron and mix/match accordingly to your lifting needs. If buying for aesthetics, so be it I guess, my comment is more function over form
I feel like these are for people who don’t need bumpers but want a tiny bit of floor protection over steel. Ie deadlifts on stall mats but not a platform. I wouldn’t buy them personally.
It really just depends on the need. Everyone has different uses. I wouldn’t need bumpers, but I’ve got their plates for my loadable dumbbells so I could go with a shorter sleeve and still load up. I can get 5 10’s on each sleeve where a regular change pate I can only get 3 with the collar.
Lots of things are plate loaded and unfortunately have really short weight horns. My old leg extension machine could fit 2 45s of my Rogue urethane bumps. I’m not a big dude and that’s well short of what I needed. Agree most folks aren’t maxing out barbells, but there’s still plenty of use cases for thin plates, including bumpers.
When will you review the Mack Clamps Collars? We all see you using them, along with that Uesaka barbell. We'd love a review on that too. Maybe a three way comparison between the Eleiko, the Uesaka and maybe rogue to compare all three IWF certified Olympic bars.
Not sure how I feel about this as a bumper, I guess based on the drop test I don't feel very good. As someone who doesn't drop their weights and has a somewhat "tight" home gym, I appreciate the thinner plates because I can have smaller weight horns, and a shorter barbell (C70S). The 6-inches or so saved on the barbell lets me open a nearby door without having to move stuff around.
Can you give us some hint as to when you might get around to reviewing Rogue’s new in-rack functional trainers? There is so little out there about them and I would like to see a review before I pull the trigger on Black Friday this year. Thank you!
Look up glucks gym he already put one out. Idk what up with Coop. That what we really want to see but he keeps reviwing other stuff. Glucksgym already did one for the single stanck now hes filming the twin stack to be realeased any day now.
What is the average lifetime of a plastic-coated metal plate of that width. I would think that if you're paying a premium price it would be good to know about how long they will last before fracturing the coating. Does Weight It Out test to destruction?
So funny to see things come full circle, first we had jammer arms which with so many "improvements" have almost become a freeweight then we have these which are basically the cheapest tri grip rubber coated plates ive had for years. Mine have handles in to aid carrying but this new thing is basically the same but the handle filled in so the overall width is a little thinner.
I get thin steel plates and such for say plate loaded machines, but even Lasha is not cleaning enough weight to need these. Also, when plates get narrow and heavy without a good and solid ridge they're hard to move around one handed, and these look to be thin enough to be harder to hold.
I don't see them lasting if you use them as a bumper plate and do a lot of dropping from overhead. There is a reason bumpers are designed the way they are. And the nice part about metal is they make this crazy thing called paint. Buy a a couple tins and you can touch up chips on your plates. Radical idea I know.
in this case there is no more room to reduce the thickness, the steel has the density it has. The only thing I see is that a spring with high absorption is installed around the perimeter to replace the otherwise thick layer of rubber used in the bumper.
Iron takes up space , it's not just these ones the average person working out has lots of dumbells, kettlebells, other machines etc . Anything that's a space saver is ideal , especially if you live in an apartment.
I'm disabled and have been watching/learning all this cool stuff. Just waiting for the day to start building my stats again. If they can make a 45 this skinny and 10lb change plates why isn't there a inbetween?

I've seen cheaper 10 lb bumper plate split easily. They are definitely not for public gyms where they are abused My HOA gym had them and they cracked in a couple years
i dont consider a iron wrapped plate as a bumper plate.

I could see these being used in tandem with larger 45's. would be great for deadlifting and dropping the bar
That's what I was thinking too. Put a regular 45 on first then add these.
These look like rubber coated plates rather than bumper plates?

Agree
In that case you protect the floor

You'll never lift enough to need to fit more on the bar. Better to just buy ones that will last longer and not cut your flooring up.

@@djbakasan If it's for a weight horn, it doesn't need to be a bumper plate though
Weider made thin bumper plates back in the 70's/80's. I have their 20kg, 25kg, and 50 kg bumper plates. The 20kg plate is 1.25" thick.

Imperial bumper plates will forever be disgusting. Especially since some of you insist on red 45lbs plates.
Looks super annoying to carry. I'm only going to buy rubber bumper plates with handles lol
They need to make these with handles
I’ve had them for a while. I love them so much… one issue: they’re very slippery
Review Home Grown Lifting! They have great bumper plates and now ultra thin ones!

Instead of “PREMIUM”, the better option would be “POUNDS”. Maybe that is what it was supposed to be?
Isn’t part of the point of a bumper plate to distribute the load?
Crazy expensive. Another play at huge profits. I can join a gym for a year for what a set of these cost. Only an irrational buyer will purchase them.
"The more weight you can put on a bar, the more gooder"
Poetry.
They need to change that logo 🤦
Need that text in all caps
Those are nice
Thinner than the stache

Cooooooooooop
The SHANGHAI
HERCULES ones
back in the 80s
we're remarkably
nice bouncing and
sturdy for being
quite thin
I don’t get it they kinda defeat the purpose of buying bumpers plates…
These plates are awful. the "premium" icon and poorly design logo looks dumb af.
Can you do a review on X-MARK PLATES
How is dropping a thinner 45 lb plate on our foot different than a thicker one?
If they ever make the fattest one please name it the "Eddie Hall".......my name is not Bjorn.
All commercial gyms will use these new compact bumper plates

Weight it out plates are awesome. Love em!!
I don't really see the market, if I wanted tons of weight I'd get calibrated steel, if I want cool looking bumpers I'd get eleiko comp or similar
Kind of reminds me of Intek Urethane plates

Gonna hold up nicer than painted steel & iron plates that's for sure

@@bmstylee sorry
Are similar to the now discontinued Onnit Captain America plates? I know for the onnits it was advertised with power cleans and drops
Ivanko Rubo was a similar design to this in the 90s, not quite as thin but more useful
It looks identical to a iron plate with a thin layer of rubber. Why don't I use the iron plate instead?

its not a bumper anymore
You need to see the Force usa C10!!!
What shoes is coop wearing? 👀 👟
No advantage just because it's a bumper plate...especially for THAT cost....just buy iron plates and move on.

because bumpers are actually meant to be dropped multiple times, others aren't thinner because theres no long term benefit
$270 for one plate? Youre out of your mind
Pair 😉
@@weightitout5500 they're still slightly less out of their mind

They assume people will be putting on more than 1 plate....
The plate will also damage itself. That rubber coating will shear off

My HOA gym had them and they cracked in a couple years
Why are you refusing to review the force USA c10?
