295 lb Bumper Plates and Olympic Bar Set295 lb Bumper Plates and Olympic Bar Set Vulcan Bumper Plates are built to endure the rigors of Olympic Weightlifting and CrossFit workouts. Unlike lower priced brands, our Bumper Plates are made of a harder and denser rubber compound. As a result, our Bumper Plates have a much thinner profile and more plates can be fit on the bar. Others claim to have equivalent rubber hardness, but their 10 lb and 15 lb bumper plates "waffle" easily when dropped. The typical Bumper Plate has a thin pressed steel insert which will come out over time with repeated droppings. Our inserts are forged solid steel and anchored into the plate. We were the first to introduce this technology in 2011 and to this day we have replaced less than a dozen bumper plates out of multiple tons of plates sold. One of the things you will immediately notice when lifting our bumper plates is how snugly they fit together on the bar as well as the dead blow/low bounce effect they exhibit when dropped. It's a very noticeable sound compared to the clanking rattling noise and basketball-like rebounding you will experience with lesser quality brands.295 lb Bumper Plates and Olympic Bar Set Specifications: One Basic Hard Chrome Olympic Bar (other barbell options are available in drop down menu); 16 unique Olympic Bar options are available; Set contains: 45 lb (two pairs - four 45 lb plates), 25 lb, and 10 lb bumper plates (one pair of each variant unless listed otherwise); Made to IWF (International Weightlifting Federation) Standard diameter 450mm (17.7165 inch); Solid Rubber Bumper Plates made from virgin rubber, not recycled rubber; Low bounce for safety; Safe for platform use; Vulcan Bumper Plates have been tested to 30,000 drops from a height of 9 feet without any deformation of the insert or damage to the rubber surface.; Shore Durometer A: 88.7 - 89.1.

I've heard that Vulcan bars were right up there with high end bars and they are correct. Well built bar with great whip for those heavy Olympic lifts. As far as the bumper plates go I have no complaints. This is for an at home gym for three individuals and they serve their purpose well. They are a great training plate. I purchased these on line in the morning and they were ready for pick up in the afternoon. Vulcan was quick to return all my emails. I will definitely purchase more equipment from Vulcan. Thank you so much.
