“Love the Alpha Bumper Plates, decided to add an extra 45 to make it easier to keep multiple bars active during a workout. The V2.0 on this looks even better because the lettering is easier to read. Great value in bumper plates, low bounce, solid construction that should last a lifetime, and terrific pricing for something so good.”

“I have purchased the black bumpers for my garage gym and they were great! I used them for almost a year and when I saw the Alpha bumper set on sale I got one pair of each plate, 55, 45, 35, 25, 15, 10. I must say that while both sets are great and get the job done, the Alpha plates are just delightful to look at and I absolutely love lifting with them. Also I think they have a better design than the standard black bumpers. The standard ones have a bevel around the edges, reducing surface area and increasing pressure from drops on the plate whereas the Alpha bumper set has a greater surface area that contacts the floor, reducing the pressure from a drop. I am sure that these differences are negligible for my purposes as Vulcan tests their products extensively, but I do notice the little things like that. I suppose the best evidence of my satisfaction with Vulcan bumper plates was my willingness to buy a second set. I love them!”

“Alpha Bumper set V2 Compared to the Rogue bumpers they Alpha bumper is quieter when landing on the platform, doesn't bounce as high and takes up less space. They slide on/off the barbell easy and the speckled color scheme makes it fast to ID the plate you want.”

“I moved into a new townhome with shared walls, so deadlifting in my garage was a concern for noise and vibration. I specifically chose the Alpha bumpers over everything else on the market for the ~30% reduction in noise, and I can testify it lives up to that hype. I almost always lower them down with control instead of dropping them from the top position, so I can't say what they would be like from overhead. But I used to use Rogue HG bumpers and, even with control and stall mats, I could hear and feel the house shake a bit. Now I have no concerns over disturbing my neighbors on deadlift day, it's so much quieter. Aside from that, the bumpers are just awesome to use and I love the unique coloring on them — it wouldn't pay just for color, but it was a huge plus. Plus, the smaller 10lb bumper is probably the cutest weightlifting equipment you'll ever buy :) I also bought the Vulcan Prime 3x3 bench and that thing is solid as a rock. Easy enough to put together, and I have no concerns with it failing at any point.”

“While researching to build my basement home gym; I came across a bumper plate review on youtube comparing Vulcan and Rogue black bumper plates. I really wanted indoor and outdoor capabilities, durability, low bounce and of course factoring cost. I took a risk after reading the reviews of the Alphas and could not be more happy with my choice. The low bounce is hands down better than any rouge bumper I have ever used, and well, the colors add a nice touch to the small space. I will be outfitting my basement gym with a lot more Vulcan gear.”
