The World’s THINNEST Bumper Weight Plates…

[@n00dle_king]

Aside from the potential damage to the barbell I'm curious to see how the plates themselves hold up after a large number of drops compared to traditional designs.

[@mrkang4080]

I'd argue the plate is best suited for home use, protect your floors from accidental drops... not necessarily intended for Oly lifts.

[@totallynotpaul6211]

I wouldn't be worried about the bar or the plates. I'd be more worried about the floor. Half the size means double or more than double the impact when the same weight hits the ground.

[@MushookieMan]

You'll never lift enough to need to fit more on the bar. Better to just buy ones that will last longer and not cut your flooring up.

[@djbakasan]

Lots of things are plate loaded and unfortunately have really short weight horns. My old leg extension machine could fit 2 45s of my Rogue urethane bumps. I’m not a big dude and that’s well short of what I needed. Agree most folks aren’t maxing out barbells, but there’s still plenty of use cases for thin plates, including bumpers.

[@MushookieMan]

@@djbakasan If it's for a weight horn, it doesn't need to be a bumper plate though

[@sigilmovement]

Maybe you won't...

[@martinshoosterman]

Yeah, even if you look at world records in Olympic lifting, the world record for the clean and jerk is 588lbs, Or roughly 6 plates. You might struggle fitting 6 of the thicker bumper plates on each side, but the competition plates have no issue what so ever. And mind you, even if you are Lasha himself, you’re probably doing 4-5 plates max in training, meaning even the thickest bumper plates will be fine.

[@ChristopherFrank-ul6bk]

I use their iron plates for deadlifting. They are .75” thick and the handle makes them easy to move. You can absolutely add more weight with these than humanly possible to lift

[@eklimas123]

I don't really get it. If you need bumpers, buy quality bumpers/deep dish that spread the load across the sleeve and floor on impact. If you want thin/compact, buy iron and mix/match accordingly to your lifting needs. If buying for aesthetics, so be it I guess, my comment is more function over form

[@northeastcorals]

Agree

[@nikobolanca5707]

In that case you protect the floor

[@TacticalStrudel]

I feel like these are for people who don’t need bumpers but want a tiny bit of floor protection over steel. Ie deadlifts on stall mats but not a platform. I wouldn’t buy them personally.

[@peets127]

It really just depends on the need. Everyone has different uses. I wouldn’t need bumpers, but I’ve got their plates for my loadable dumbbells so I could go with a shorter sleeve and still load up. I can get 5 10’s on each sleeve where a regular change pate I can only get 3 with the collar.

[@FlatTruther]

​@@TacticalStrudelyep, these will give you floor protection for people that don't really drop the weights like an Olympic lifter

[@weightitout5500]

Thank you so much!! We are definitely coming out with the other sizes and making them black with a different design. Work in progress and should be launched early 2025

[@ClipsByMiles]

Can’t wait! Honestly, as a newcomer to weights I was shocked that these aren’t the standard design - it just makes sense.

[@weightitout5500]

@ClipsByMiles agreed! It is actually a difficult process and took almost 2 years to make them a reality. Most likely why others haven't tried yet. Appreciate you!

[@anram888]

Will you make 35's and maybe 15 and 55?

[@weightitout5500]

@anram888 most likely never 35s...15s probably not. 55s could be a possibility. Insider secret (anything under 50LBs keep shipping coit's down for customers, 50 LBs and over can triple or quadruple shipping costs) appreciate you! 🙏

[@jayskowneski2116]

I plan to order a few

[@jamescoyle8]

Coop, thanks for the review! I think one thing you could have spoken to is the specific applications that are benefitted by this design. To me, they are for someone that wants to load the bar HEAVY, and wants some added protection for the floor (assuming no rubber floor). For example, heavy deadlifting on concrete or an epoxy coated garage floor. I would not be dropping these from above waist height (or at all, really) so I think the benefit is pretty limited for the detriments. Anyway, love the channel, keep up the good work!

[@GoldbergDaBoss]

I don’t get it they kinda defeat the purpose of buying bumpers plates…

[@32srt32]

i dont consider a iron wrapped plate as a bumper plate.

[@peets127]

Bc…

[@meyeame8956]

Yea at least on rep's website they sort their coated iron plates in the "iron" category.

[@kheprizix]

I guess it's a good thing its a rubber wrapped plate then. 😅

[@FlatTruther]

Good catch....an "iron wrapped" plate wouldn't have very good bounce 😂​@@kheprizix

[@nikolascook8229]

@@peets127I anticipate that these aren’t going to last if you treat them like normal bumper plates. Either the steel is going to crack, or the rubber will deteriorate. If the rubber deteriorates, then they no longer serve their purpose as a bumper plate

[@4FrogsStacked]

I could see these being used in tandem with larger 45's. would be great for deadlifting and dropping the bar

[@Rocket4ce]

That's what I was thinking too. Put a regular 45 on first then add these.

[@zacharylaschober]

I get thin steel plates and such for say plate loaded machines, but even Lasha is not cleaning enough weight to need these. Also, when plates get narrow and heavy without a good and solid ridge they're hard to move around one handed, and these look to be thin enough to be harder to hold.

[@makeitgo]

Weider made thin bumper plates back in the 70's/80's. I have their 20kg, 25kg, and 50 kg bumper plates. The 20kg plate is 1.25" thick.

[@RathOX]

If u want thin just buy steel, this is just a gimmick. This isnt a bumper plate

[@importantstuff1130]

I think the only real life use case would be for ppl who can deadlift over 600 but want to do it somewhat silently. Or 550 when we are talking about Hexbars with shorter loading dpace etc.

[@sirlost94]

I’ve had them for a while. I love them so much… one issue: they’re very slippery

[@northeastcorals]

These look like rubber coated plates rather than bumper plates?

[@stephenhutchinson7054]

These would be great to go with the gym pin attachment imo if a commercial gym had them. They’re also great for things like hack squat or leg presses. I don’t, but plenty of people can max them out. Pretty niche, but I see why they make them.

[@adnan7698]

[@Wyrdrock]

When will you review the Mack Clamps Collars? We all see you using them, along with that Uesaka barbell. We'd love a review on that too. Maybe a three way comparison between the Eleiko, the Uesaka and maybe rogue to compare all three IWF certified Olympic bars.

[@trogdor8634]

Two use cases i could see. 1 In addition to your bumpers maybe a pair or two if youre running low on room on the bar. 2. On selectorized weight stacks can fir sure get one of these on the pin go get more weight. .....do these play well with the bar that has the built in collars? (Gunginer?)

[@TMERUNNR]

LUV THEIR PRODUCTS 💪

[@martystrasinger3801]

I can see a use case where you are using them for deadlifts, want to protect your floor more than cast iron plates, but are strong enough that you need thinner plates to load the sleeves up.

[@nathanrobinson3302]

Can you give us some hint as to when you might get around to reviewing Rogue’s new in-rack functional trainers? There is so little out there about them and I would like to see a review before I pull the trigger on Black Friday this year. Thank you!

[@JuanChavarria-hq5mj]

Look up glucks gym he already put one out. Idk what up with Coop. That what we really want to see but he keeps reviwing other stuff. Glucksgym already did one for the single stanck now hes filming the twin stack to be realeased any day now.

[@davidroob4835]

Ivanko Rubo was a similar design to this in the 90s, not quite as thin but more useful

[@ZeroEditsWeightlifitng]

Another video using the Mack clamps. When are you gonna do a full review on them?

[@nikobolanca5707]

in this case there is no more room to reduce the thickness, the steel has the density it has. The only thing I see is that a spring with high absorption is installed around the perimeter to replace the otherwise thick layer of rubber used in the bumper.

[@Tom-l7t1g]

So funny to see things come full circle, first we had jammer arms which with so many "improvements" have almost become a freeweight then we have these which are basically the cheapest tri grip rubber coated plates ive had for years. Mine have handles in to aid carrying but this new thing is basically the same but the handle filled in so the overall width is a little thinner.

[@ea_gaming]

Those will be great for deadlifts!

[@Killer_Tomato]

[@JuanHugeJanus]

I have had both 15, 20 and 25 kg bumper plates as thin as these 10 years ago...

[@theiviachine]

I think this would be a great first plate for deadlifts. Followed by normal iron plates. For a home gym were space is an issue

[@GRPABT1]

I would buy these as I needed to buy some competition plates to fit enough on the bar for deadlifts but needed to make sure they weren't taller than my bumpers to protect my floors.

[@starvin-marvin-the-martian]

Not sure how I feel about this as a bumper, I guess based on the drop test I don't feel very good. As someone who doesn't drop their weights and has a somewhat "tight" home gym, I appreciate the thinner plates because I can have smaller weight horns, and a shorter barbell (C70S). The 6-inches or so saved on the barbell lets me open a nearby door without having to move stuff around.

[@kevindowneyjr.2507]

Review Home Grown Lifting! They have great bumper plates and now ultra thin ones!

[@deanzipes]

For deadlifts and protecting my floor am I better off with these or urethane coated steel?

[@JonathanNace]

How about using these with traditional sized bumper plates. Will that protect the barbell, but still let you load more. i also admit to just hating the weight displacement of traditional bumper plates, which to me really make them feel lighter. But some combo of these bumper plates with bigger ones maybe best of both worlds?

[@JAGGfit]

Gonna hold up nicer than painted steel & iron plates that's for sure

[@bmstylee]

I don't see them lasting if you use them as a bumper plate and do a lot of dropping from overhead. There is a reason bumpers are designed the way they are. And the nice part about metal is they make this crazy thing called paint. Buy a a couple tins and you can touch up chips on your plates. Radical idea I know.

[@JAGGfit]

@@bmstylee sorry

[@aznoak]

I don't really see the market, if I wanted tons of weight I'd get calibrated steel, if I want cool looking bumpers I'd get eleiko comp or similar

[@mariomolnar3184]

Might help with powerlifters with home gyms. Better than iron/steel plates for deadlifts. Bumper plates bounce way too much between reps

[@nathanrobinson3302]

Gluck’s Gym just dropped the second review today of Rogue’s rack mounted functional trainers. Gluck = 2 Coop = 0 Let’s go Coop! Still waiting for your input before pulling the trigger on Black Friday.

[@rodolfomedini9931]

Are they similar to the now discontinued Onnit Captain America plates? I know for the onnits it was advertised with power cleans and drops

[@jondizzo9200]

which bumpers would you recommend for dropping on your foot?

[@Markus-fw4px]

Bought something similar from ATX 15 years ago, still use them.

[@meyeguy6222]

These could work GREAT for a trap bar with a shorter sleeve length, in between true rubber plates. My trap bar sleeves are somewhat short, so max weight is limited. These would solve that.

[@evilflowx]

it's like dropping the 20kg plates.... i'd never stop being afraid of breaking them at the donut hole.

[@TacticalStrudel]

Isn’t part of the point of a bumper plate to distribute the load?

[@ted6580]

Marketing mistake. These aren’t bumper plates, they’re just rubber plates. They’re useful for taking up less space in home gyms and for taking up less space on plate loaded machines. That’s how they should be marketed. Can’t fit 12 regular plates on your compact leg sled, use these thin plates. Can’t fit 4 plates on your reverse hyper, use these instead. Running out of space for 25 plates in your 1-car garage? Use these thin plates instead. They dropped the ball with how these are advertised.

[@mifster83]

This is a very niche plate, a part from it not taking up as much space, even if you have the thick plate which is around 7 cm most ppl wont fill up the bar in any lift. There are probably less thn 5% of ppl who would need a thinner plate for their max lifts

[@ommaigod]

If I used those, I'd make sure to use crash pads. I suspect those will transmit more shock through the stall mat to the concrete floor too, and no one should want cracked floors. Way too pricy for most home gymers who honestly don't lift that much to need more space on sleeve. Another cool thing that most shouldn't buy.

[@royramdas7298]

Can you do a review on X-MARK PLATES

[@keysersoze5920]

Where are they made?

[@posterchild8486]

What is the average lifetime of a plastic-coated metal plate of that width. I would think that if you're paying a premium price it would be good to know about how long they will last before fracturing the coating. Does Weight It Out test to destruction?

[@robw1031]

How is dropping a thinner 45 lb plate on our foot different than a thicker one?

[@Redfiregtag]

Dude the price of weight is just stupid , it's a fu kin metal circle , I need to find a guy with a metal cnc , honestly I jist like to buy used 1 dollar a pound cast plates for my machines and a good set of bumpers for my dropped work

[@lk-ip1xs]

Well idk, the hardness of this "bumper plate" sort of defeats the purpose of a bumper plate... Bumpers are made so you can drop the barbell from overhead and the bar doesnt break. This however... Yeah, the bar would definetly break just as if you put regular steel plates on it

[@7mikepd]

that scale was on a table and rubber surface. Put it on tile and it’s going to be 45 lbs. or more.

[@Conformist55]

It’s like saying a rubber coated dumbbell is a “bumper dumbbell”.

[@bumpercoach]

The SHANGHAI HERCULES ones back in the 80s we're remarkably nice bouncing and sturdy for being quite thin

Mine from Shanghai were terrible man the rubber was degrading and falling of in small pieces I now use rogue or if I can find eliecko at a good price point I would get some of there’s instead

[@res2788]

It’s not a bumper plate if the lifter can not drop the bar from overhead without causing damage to the bar. Not bumper plate, it’s a bummer plate. :)

Too expensive IMO. If you’re a huge power lifter that needs the space, this makes sense. But how many people are loading more than 5-6 plates per side?

[@martinshoosterman]

I like these plates, they look really cool and like much higher quality compared to the pure iron plates. I feel like they missed the mark by advertising these as bumper plates. These are incredibly stupid as bumper plates. They are the worst of both worlds. They don’t actually provide the same protection as bumper plates to your floor. They provide less protection to the bar as well since they are thinner, and for lifts where you need. Bumper plate, you don’t need something this thin. These seem like great plates to use as every day plates. Maybe a good option for deadlifting where you don’t really need a bumper plate, but every now and again you do lower it with a bit more force than usual. But these shouldn’t be called bumper plates.

One of the reasons for bumper plates is to allow the barbell to fall to the ground. To avoid damaging the barbell, the bumper plates must be as thick as possible, as this is the only way to distribute the shear forces well. This bumper plate from you makes absolutely no sense 😂
