Best Looking Bumper Plates? Fringe Sport Savage Bumpers Review

[@GlucksGym]

What are your favorite bumpers?

[@threefeetoffun]

My black economy ones from Titan. Why? Just they are my first and I could afford them.

[@GlucksGym]

@@threefeetoffun hahaha sometimes that's all the matters. And they work!

[@willpate3457]

If I had to buy bumpers again I'd go with Rogue Echos for the reduced thickness. I've got the original Echos that are 3.25" for the 45s.

@@GlucksGym cmon. You know that was a test to see if I watched your stuff…which I do. I can’t resist biting on an opportunity like that. BTW. I enjoyed the rest of the video as well. The 35 hate was just my favorite part.

Good looking plates dude. I wouldn't mind a few of the fiddy 5s. Great video as usual. 👍🏼

[@GlucksGym]

Big boy plates there. Thanks!

[@sonnyD1987]

I have half the set of these and they are awesome bumpers. Fringe as a company definitely puts out some pretty cool equipment. I will say my 10’s did not come in perfect condition though but rather than go through the hassle of sending them back, I opted to just keep them since it was just a little cosmetic issues.

[@GlucksGym]

What was wrong with them? I'm glad you're still happy with them but they'd have made it right

[@sonnyD1987]

@@GlucksGym I believe they would’ve made it right too, I just didn’t want to go through the hassle of sending them back and waiting for new ones. The 10 pounders had a little bit of a bow/bend in them and the rubber was coming off from the metal inserts. Just minor really.

[@edwino.4773]

Thanks for turning me on!… to the Rogue set! 😜😂. The Rogue full set comes out total with tax/sh to $939 and the Fringe Savage $1190.75, that’s a difference of $251. And I’m in TX where Fringe is. 🤷🏻‍♂️🙄

[@GlucksGym]

Just use the link and I don't care which you pick 😂 but very popular options. Fringe tends to run some killer deals so if you can find them on a deal they might win the price war.

[@petermozuraitis5219]

Those designs are nice, but there's something about the way the Klokov bumpers look that I can't get enough of !

[@GlucksGym]

Those Klokov are awesome but wooo they aren't cheap

[@angelbaez6751]

Thank you for videos,there good information to help you with decisions on products you are interested in buying and keep the jokes or Sarcasm coming they are very funny ,you help me out on at least with 3 products. Especially on the products that you don’t recommend.because you purchased them and didn’t work out

[@GlucksGym]

hahaha I'm glad to save you a few dollars with my failed purchases as well! Thanks for the kind words!

[@meisdetermined]

Send all 35’s to Brandon. He’s the only guy I know who has a soft spot in his heart for those things. The savage plates from Fringe are my absolute favorite of all bumpers. Peter is an awesome dude too.

[@GlucksGym]

He saw and commented on this video but didn't ask for the 35s. Fake love?!

[@MetalsForBrunch]

lol you make the best intros for gym equip reviews. try out clean jerks with those nice bumpers.

[@GlucksGym]

Yep I mentioned that in the review (I think). Thank you, that one took us a bit to think of. Ugh no more Oly lifts please.

[@fencingrocks3]

I have the plain black version of these and can confirm that they're awesome. I find myself choosing them over my Rogue HG bumpers every time, mostly because of the lip being easier to grab with one hand. I prefer to spend my "pretty plates money" on Rogue Deep Dish plates though, because let's be honest, they're the sexiest plates on the market right now!

[@GlucksGym]

I do love my deep dish but I'm not sure I'd give them that title... Hmmm video idea?!

[@carps_gym]

Rogue deep dish do look nice , but so do the StrengthCo plates. Now that I have owned both, I Prefer the thinner classic StrengthCo plate with the same shiny ecoat finish. Most folks think Rogue was the first to make these ecoated plates but that goes to Grant at the StrengthCo. His go from 100, 45, 25, 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25. When rogue came out they also had no change plates for like a year.

[@fencingrocks3]

@@carps_gym Yeah I have both as well. If I were to only have one kind of plates in my gym it would be Strength Co, just for the capacity on the bar, but I do find myself preferring to handle the deep dish best. As far as looks, I prefer the machined smooth finish on Rogue's over the rough texture on TSC, but it's all personal anyway.

[@GlucksGym]

A lot of personal choice there and for everyone that tells me you can fit more plates on the bar I wonder what percentage of people that would ever matter to. One of my buddies pulls over 600lbs with deep dish regularly. I've yet to see another person irl do that but on the internet it's common 😂

[@fencingrocks3]

@@GlucksGym Depends on the bar. I have the BOS open trap bar and it has crazy short sleeves, so the deep dish or bumpers limits it to like 315#. For a standard bar with around 16" sleeves you're definitely right though.

[@johnbeverungen6570]

Enjoyed the video. Those bumper plates look great, but I've got to stop spending money on gym equipment!

[@GlucksGym]

Hahaha but you're saving money 😂😇

[@chanman83]

This is my new favorite channel for home gym equipment. I have fringe’s wonderbar and some bumpers and no complaints from me. I did get some rubber smell when took them out and let them sit in my basement gym. Granted smaller space, but went away after 2 days and door left opened. 100% agree on customer service. They been great on stuff like my barbell ends scuffed due to UPS and a small chip on side of my bumper. Thank you for the video and love your intros!

[@GlucksGym]

Thank you! We love to hear that 😍 I've had great experiences with Fringe and I've been fortunate enough to get a lot of their stuff through

[@GraveyFit]

Nice review. I'm no super familiar with Fringe products but the warranty and customer service have my interest.

[@ruby2thursday]

i love my savage plates...that ridge is SO dang easy to grip too.

[@ruby2thursday]

unfortunately the mil-spec versions don't have the same ridge on the edges...and most of my plates are the mil-spec bumpers from fringe

[@HLR_III]

Not the Midas bar in the landmine 🤯😂

[@GlucksGym]

After the beating it took filming the review it gets to go there

[@rodolfomedini9931]

I am looking forward to watching this... I was on the fence about ordering these the inconsistent outer diameter of rogue's fleck bumpers is just disappointing and some denominations had transparent lettering on my batch... Was heart breaking for me customer service was mixed regarding if it was an issue

[@GlucksGym]

That's too bad. Unfortunately the quality control and response isn't what it used to be with them. These I genuinely like

[@andypritchard9786]

I opted for Vulcan's black bumpers because, 1. no one comes to my gym except my wife, and B. she comments more on how much they cots versus how pretty they are. But I did want those colored alphas.

[@GlucksGym]

Haha sometimes with the wife is the only thing that matters.

[@JasonGWolfe]

I agree that these are the best plates out there. I have Rogue HG, Rogue Echo Color, Rep Color Plates and got a set of these. I own a gym so I try things out, I also grabbed 2 pairs of Rogue Fleck 10s, Titan Urethane 10s as I only use 10s, 25s, 45s. Fringe 10s are the most durable and best quality by far. Titan Urethane are ok, but expensive, smaller and loud. All Rogue bumpers with inserts will get loose and their tens suck across the board. Fringe has exceptional customer service while Rogue is alright (just seem extremely overwhelmed and lead times are insane). Great work Gluck on the content. Have 1000 and 1 Ideas for videos if you need them lol.

[@GlucksGym]

Ohhh send those ideas my way! Thanks for the feedback and happy to hear it

[@vicenteochoa6498]

I know it’s not recommended but I mostly use my bumpers to mix match them with my iron plates while deadlifting. So I use the thinnest bumpers possible that’s why I like the rogue echo. (2.4in wide for 45). If I did Olympic lifts I probably would use bumpers more though.

[@GlucksGym]

I always mix my bumpers and iron plates while deadlifting. I suppose I don't need to but we have the 45s on when we warm up and just keep stacking.

Bought a fringe solid color bumper set with a savage 15’s substitute (did not want to wait for availability of the solid 15’s). The fringe staff are great on the phone and in person. I really like these bumpers. I think I enjoy creating my gym room more than actually using it. Speaking of gym building, anybody have a recommendation for where and what type of mirrors to buy (need a mirror to perform curls in the rack 😆)

[@GlucksGym]

Those are great bumpers and as long as you don't care nothing else matters. Fringe has always been good to me so I agree there. As for the mirrors, all of mine except the one behind my rack are Glacial Bay from Home Depot. 36"x60"

[@brianshockley8161]

@@GlucksGym thanks, good to know what mirrors you use. I figured I was overthinking the mirror purchase options.

Fringe had a lightning deal on these sets for 20% off several weeks ago, for which I shall long be kicking myself for passing them up. Ok, yes, I had already purchased my own Christmas present, and had a self imposed restriction on any more purchases the rest of the year, but ... I should have rationalized a way.

Does Eleiko have fleck bumpers I don't know about? Or just in general? I use Rogue as a comparison a lot of the time because they're still the king in the home gym space so it's easier for people to relate to and compare to.
