385 lb Bumper Plates and Olympic Bar Set - A Reviews

5 Rating 4 Reviews
Read Vulcan Strength Training Systems Reviews

385 lb Bumper Plates and Olympic Bar Set - AVulcan Bumper Plates are built to endure the rigors of Olympic Weightlifting and Cross-training workouts. Unlike other 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 10lb and 15lb 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. Specifications: The 385 lb Bumper Plates and Olympic Bar Set contains the following: One Basic 20 Kg Hard Chrome Olympic Bar ( other barbell options are available in the drop down menu); 16 unique Olympic Bar choices are available in the drop down menu; Set contains a pair of each of the following Bumper Plate weight variants: 55 lb, 45 lb, 35 lb, 25 lb, and 10 lb; Barbell collars are not included; Specifications:; 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 What is Shore Durometer? See Here.; Plate diameter: 450mm (17.7") - Collar opening: 50.4mm; Insert type: Forged Stainless Steel, not a thin pressed or stamped steel like some others Inserts are actually anchored into the rubber, unlike most which are simply pressed in; Plates have a thinner, low-profile design which allows you to fit more on the bar; Weight tolerance: +/- 1% of advertised weight; For: Cross-training, Weightlifting, strength training, commercial gym or home gym use; Warranty: 36 months on 55 lb, 45 lb, 35 lb, and 25 lb Bumper Plates; 6 months on 10 lb and 15 lb bumper plates;

I wanted an Olympic Bumper set that I could use now and grow into and the set delivers beyond my expectations. The Standard bar knurling is just right and feels perfect wether doing basic reps or going for a personal record. This is going to be the golden standard for bars for me. The bumpers are even and go on the bar easy but without excess play.

I purchased the standard olympic bar and bumper plates. They are high quality and are stable when dropping onto shock mats. I'm very pleased.

I can count how many reviews I have written on a single hand, but I love the 385 lb bumper plate set. I went with the standard Vulcan bar which is beautifully made and fully functional for my workouts. If I lived in the area, I would have driven over and picked it up personally (I was really excited to receive it). Had an issue with shipping of the collars but customer service was great to work with and prompt to address. A great purchase and great company to work with.
