Vulcan Absolute Competition bumper plate weights are guaranteed to within 10 grams of stated weight. Thinner profile than most Olympic weight plates allows you to fit more plates on the bar. Raised lettering is coated with indelible ink that will not come off or fade like most competition plates. Discs are glass bead blasted to provide great aesthetic look after multiple uses. Rubber sits approximately 1.25 mm above disc to ensure super tight fit and no metal to metal contact between bumper plates. The steel discs of the Vulcan Absolute Bumpers are guaranteed not to depart from the plate or spin within the plate for the duration of the warranty.
Vulcan Absolute Competition Bumper Plate Sets are spot tested and mechanically drop tested 10,000 times. A more extensive test than any of our competitors. All Vulcan Absolute Bumpers are manufactured in accordance with IWF specifications. We can only guarantee that Vulcan Absolute Bumpers will fit properly on Vulcan Barbells and other barbells made to IWF specifications. We cannot guarantee the fit on lower end bars that have not been manufactured with strict tolerances for the collar diameter.
We offer the largest selection of high quality competition plates available. Add our V-Lock Rubber Discs (change plates) in to any set for a superior combination.
* 5 Year warranty. Warranty covers steel discs departing from or rotating within the plate or plates breaking. Absolute Competition Plates should not be used outdoors, on bare concrete floors, or dropped on rubber flooring less than 3/8" thickness.
They are rubber weight plates with a steel disc in the center, made for competitive Olympic weightlifting. Made from harder and denser rubber than training plates, coupled with a steel center disc they are more compact, don’t bounce when dropped, fit together on a barbell more snugly, and are accurate within 10 grams of the advertised weight.
Can Competition Bumper Plates be used for daily training?
Yes, they can be used for training in a weightlifting gym, home gym, or any other facility. The comp bumpers have been tested to 30,000 drops. They feature a hooked insert no different than our training plates and two steel discs bolted down with 6 bolts to secure the insert. The steel insert sits below the surface of the rubber so there is no metal-to-metal contact when the plates are on the barbell or stored.
Do they meet competition standards?
Yes, they meet all IWF (International Weightlifting Federation) standards and USAW (USA Weightlifting). Vulcan plates and barbells have been used at USAW-sanctioned meets and by national and international level weightlifters.
