Compatible with Olympic bars, these UK-designed plates have an outer rubber coating for added protection and noise reduction. The handy non-slip finish of these rubber barbell weights prevents the risk of unexpected drops, increasing your safety and preventing damage to your floor.

FAQs

What’s the difference between rubber and bumper plates?

Both rubber-coated and bumper plates are designed to keep you and your flooring safe from high-impact drops. However, there are several key differences between them:

  • Material: Bumper plates are made entirely from rubber, while a rubber-coated weight plate is a metal plate with a rubber finish. 

  • Use: Made entirely from rubber, bumper plates are designed to be suitable for overhead drops. These are common in weightlifting exercises such as a snatch. Rubber-coated plates do offer extra protection but are not made to be dropped from great heights regularly.

  • Cost: Bumper plates tend to be more expensive than rubber barbell plates.

How do you maintain rubber weight plates? 

You may want a rubber weights set or just a single pair. Either way, it’s important to keep your gym gear in good condition. Doing so not only prevents the spread of germs but also ensures your rubber gym plates last longer.

Luckily, cleaning rubber weight plates is a straightforward process. All you need is warm, soapy water and two cloths. Simply wet one cloth and wipe down your gear before patting it dry with the other cloth.
