My wife and I finally decided to buy some Alpha bumper plates and Olympic barbell sets after tons of research online. We found that it was the best deal for a great product. They are excellent bumper weights that really do look cool. The barbells are great and we would recommend Vulcan products to family and friends. We purchased a 385 lb set and a 275 lb set. This way we we got two pairs of 10s, 25s, 35s, 45s and a pair of 55 lb plates. The low bounce plates are very quiet and you just feel like you can push more weight no plate chatter. Thanks Vulcan Great Product!!! John B. NM
