Vulcan 340lbs Black Bumper Plate Set Bravo

Black Bumper Plate Set Bravo Description:

Vulcan Bumper Plates are built to endure the rigors of Olympic Weightlifting, cross-training, and strength training 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, allowing for more plates to 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 that will come out over time with repeated drops. Our inserts are forged solid steel and anchored into the plate. We were the first to introduce this technology in 2010, and to this day, we have gyms still using our first release of bumper plates.

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 brands.

Set contains: 45 lb, (three pair) 25 lb and 10 lb bumper plates (one pair of each)
