Choosing the Right Eleiko Disc

[@saikat3591]

Thanks for your detailed analysis and advice.

[@chiquititafortune]

Waalaikumussalam. Thank you brother for sharing the information for us. As a beginner weightlifting, i admit your kindness brother. May Allah bless you and your family. Aamiin.

[@zealfittv3348]

Ameen and thank you for your kind words.

[@loyal2no146]

Salaam alaikum. Do you know where the XF Bumpers made and how have they held up over time/multiple drops?

[@zealfittv3348]

Waalaikumussalam. We think they're made in latvia. The old version was not good. we're not sure of the new ones because as of now, we've not received any complaints from our customers. Our suggestion is if you can afford it, get the sport training plates.

[@loyal2no146]

@@zealfittv3348 Yeah I'd love to get the Sport training plates, however are they as durable as the bumpers and can be dropped over and over again?

[@zealfittv3348]

Sport training plates are more durable than the XF bumpers. With recycled rubber bumpers, the first thing that will give away is the center hub.

[@snapz256]

Great video, thanks. For someone who needs disks to be indoor at home, which (non pure steel) smell the least ?

[@zealfittv3348]

Sport Training...

[@snapz256]

@@zealfittv3348 but do the XF's smell alot? or is it that the training plates dont smell at all?

[@zealfittv3348]

We think it's relative. The XF does have a smell, but it's not pungent/smelly to us. Sports training plates also have a smell, but not as strong as the XF, but both in our opinion do not stink up a room... in our opinion.

[@ACC8424]

Would you please test the XF bumper to be dropped? There’s a review say that XF bumper is the most quiet when were dropped. I wonder how much quiet it is.

[@zealfittv3348]

Oh man.. we used to have them, but we sold them off during the lockdown. Maybe one day we'll do a drop test with all the plates.

[@ACC8424]

@@zealfittv3348 That would be nice

[@RRKristensen]

Do you have any experience with the Vulcano discs? I see they have no steel insert in the hole. I could be worried that the poly would crack during heavy deadlifts.

[@zealfittv3348]

Unfortunately, we have not. Our guess is that the PU will tear/crack over time. However, in terms of price and functionality, the IPF comp plates would suit your purpose better?

[@keysersoze5920]

I have 257.5kgs of Vulcano discs; great discs! They’re 20mm smaller in diameter than regular discs (430mm vs. 450mm). They’re durable as long as you do not drop them.

[@RPSGCC733]

Do you have any Eleiko Vulcano Olympic Plates? I can't find any reviews on them but I do see them on FB Marketplace.

[@zealfittv3348]

No we don't. In general, they're more used in commercial gyms or plate loaded machines and we are and have none of those.

[@keysersoze5920]

I have Eleiko Vulcano discs and they’re great but mainly for plate loaded machines.

[@silask6921]

@@keysersoze5920 why are they More vor plate loaded maschines in your opinion?

[@keysersoze5920]

@@silask6921 Eleiko Vulcano discs are great. However, they are smaller in diameter than the other Eleiko discs (430mm v. 450mm), have the 5 grip holes, and are urethane over a steel core (thus they are not designed to be dropped). They’re designed mainly for plate loaded machines due to their smaller diameter, and grip holes that easily enable one to load them onto such machines where they won’t be dropped nor scratch the machine. You can also use them for body weight exercises (hence the holes). You CAN use them with a barbell, but not when performing the Olympic lifts (unless you want to break them and your platform or floor).

[@RRKristensen]

Would you use the vulcano discs for deadlifts on a rubber floor?

[@lpdulley]

Great Video! The Sport Training Discs do seem to be the best option for most people. But I am really torn between them and the Weightlifting Discs...

[@zealfittv3348]

Our opinion is if you have the cash, get the IWF plates. Just remember that over time, the paint will come off. Sport training plates' paint last longer. The IWF plates is a lot harder, feels premium and should last a long time (it was drop tested like 5000 times or something like that).

[@lpdulley]

@@zealfittv3348 I got the Sport Training Plates with the new LOGO, they are made in china, but the quality seems pretty good! I am gonna train with them today! Thanks, once again for your review!

[@zealfittv3348]

We envy you!!! Ours is coming maybe in July. Yeah they're.. not made in Sweden... hahahahah.. but you're right, the quality is good. We've not had any problems with ours.

[@craignfaulkner]

Can you mix a xf bumper with a train disc no problems? Thanks!

[@zealfittv3348]

Yes you can, but we have minor OCD when it comes to mixing plates. 🤣🤣🤣

[@keysersoze5920]

Great information. Where are you located?

[@zealfittv3348]

We're in Malaysia. 😁

[@stevo4066]

I have the Eleiko Sport Training Discs, but I don‘t think that they are so durable. I got a lot of deeper scratches from softly touching the squatrack

[@calixz9253]

What is the price of that ipf 10 kg plate

[@zealfittv3348]

USD152 per piece of the sport training plate 10kg

[@calixz9253]

@@zealfittv3348 thanks

[@mami3790]

Azmir, what is your opinion on mixing discs. as much as i want shiny plates at home, having 200kg worth of these plates is going to break the bank. i was considering getting a pair of 20kg bumper or sport training discs and then filling up the rest with cheap cast iron plates from lazada or something. what do you think? alternatively, do you sport your own in house/locally made cheaper cast iron plates? for powerlifting btw.

[@zealfittv3348]

For powerlifting, just go with the steel IPF plates. They're about the price of the xf bumpers. Definitely don't go for sport training. It's ok to mix, but that's where my OCD kicks in. I like the same type of plates on my bar 🤣 There are many companies selling cheap steel plates in Malaysia (i assume you're from here).

[@mami3790]

@@zealfittv3348 yeah i am! and i totally get what you mean, but right now its the best i can do especially considering there are only commercial gyms near me with either no or a single rack. saving the full eleiko rack and calibrated plates for when the financial situation is a little bit better. haha. thanks for your input!

20 OR 30 years laters in gym... after intensive use ... good discs never dies. We never regret money for buy quality... i own mines since 1992... 30 YEARS ! ELEIKO ARE ALLWAYS ON PODIUM OF QUALITY. IN 1992 LIKE IN 2022 PALLINI .. UESAKA ,,ELEIKO MADE BEST BUMPERS OF ALL TIMES. (TRAINING OR COMPETITION if its just color or fine calibration its not a soucy.. but i prefere avoid cheap line do in other material like !ion Werksan not same quality than trues Werksan bumbers)
