Colored Bumper plate, quality rubber with steel inserts -10lbs through 55lbs. 2 collar opening allows for a snug fit on the bar eliminating a loose fit. Hardness of rubber is ideal for Olympic training. When dropped, these plates dead blow with very little bounce. BPX plates measure 17.625 in diameter and vary in width depending on the weight of each plate. These bumpers plates are made out of high quality solid virgin rubber. The virgin rubber produces a tougher material that creates a reduced bounce for easier control. This rubber also allows for the smooth finish look on the outside of the plate. The several inches of rubber cover a centralized stainless steel disk. This steel disk ensures the stability and durability of the plates. Our BPX plates are built along the same manners as Olympic competition weights to give you the real deal while training. Each batch of plates are placed under the destroy test that drops the plates at the actual routine conditions for over 15,000 repetitions to certify the quality of our plates. Note: The BPX-10 10lb Bumper Plates are NOT designed or intended to be dropped on the bar without any additional weight plates. Product Testing and development has shown that by dropping an Olympic Bar while using only 10lb plates can result in damage and compromise the integrity of the 10lb Plate. During our product testing however, it was also discovered that using at least a 25lb plate (BPX-25) in conjunction with the 10lb plates, the damage does not occur. Furthermore, our Valor Fitness warranty does not cover the damage to the BP-10 plates that is caused by this improper use.
