Weight plates for progressive overload

Getting stronger happens step by step. With the right weight plates, you can build strength with purpose, in your home gym or at the gym. Combine them with a barbell and train your whole body. Use heavy plates for large muscle groups in exercises such as squats and deadlifts. Use lighter plates and change plates for smaller muscle groups and to make progress in explosive lifts such as cleans and snatches.

The advantage of bumper plates is that you can safely drop the barbell with plates from height because they absorb impact. This is ideal for, among other things, Olympic weightlifting and CrossFit. They are also kinder to your floor.

Recycled Rubber: extremely durable and often the most affordable choice
Virgin Rubber: pure rubber, making it thinner so more plates fit on your barbell.
Virgin Rubber with minimal bounce: higher density, allowing the plates to settle faster after a drop
