CAP 2-inch Olympic Bumper Plate Weight Set | 100-370 lbs | Multiple Colors | Storage Rack Optional

Great beginner set of bumpers, accurate weight, nice material, only complaint is that my plates had a coating of oil all over them that I had to clean off and that they smell very rubbery for a few days. My gym is in my garage so not an issue but if it’s in your home that might be a factor to consider.

These Olympic bar weights are a great buy. The pricing is solid and the quality is there. They fit the bar properly, feel durable, and hold up well during regular training. A few things to know before buying. Like most new rubber weights, they come with a strong chemical smell and an oily coating from the factory. That’s normal. Wash them with soap and water, scrub them down, dry them thoroughly, and let them air out, ideally outside…for one to two weeks. The smell does go away with time. If you notice scratches in the pictures, that’s from real use. I use these constantly and sometimes drop or slide them on the floor. The cosmetic wear doesn’t affect performance at all…they’re built to be used, not babied. Overall, these are a very good deal for the quality. Once you get past the initial break-in, they’re excellent plates and well worth the money.

I love these plates. Added them to an existing gym area in my garage, and they work great with my Body Solid corner leverage gym. The rubber exterior makes them much more quiet than steel plates while still easy enough to grip. They definitely give my gym area an elevated feel. Haven’t weighed them to verify the weight, but I think they are legit. I would like to replace all my old weights with these. Price was fair for what you get. They do have that strong/chemical rubber smell, but it doesn’t really bother me and it will also wear down with time. CAP makes good stuff!

The weights themselves work great and are solid, well-made, and exactly what I was looking for in terms of functionality and performance. They feel durable and perform well during workouts with no issues at all. However, when they arrived, they had a very strong cigarette smoke smell and an oily residue on the surface. I had to wipe them down multiple times and air them out before using them, which was disappointing and unexpected. Once cleaned, they function perfectly.

Bottom Line Excellent economy bumper plates at an unreal price. Solid construction, secure inserts, predictable bounce, and colors that look great on the bar. Perfect for garage gyms and general strength training. Also, these are the type of bumpers that do not bounce even when dropped from overhead so you don't have to worry about chasing the barbell around. Coach's note: Never drop a bar from overhead with only one 10# plate on each end. You'll end up breaking your plates sooner than you would otherwise. Expect a light factory coating when new, this is normal for fresh bumpers and wipes off pretty easily. Spray with your standard household degreaser and wipe away, and you're good to go. At $200 with free shipping for a 260 lb set, this was one of the best bumper set values I’ve seen in years. Full Review As a former gym owner and a strength & conditioning coach for the last 20 years, I’ve handled just about every type of bumper plate out there, from high-end competition plates to bargain-basement imports. These CAP Economy Olympic Bumper Plates land squarely in the “done right” category. The rubber is dense and durable, the inserts are secure, and the plates sit flat and balanced on the bar. They’re not overly soft or spongy, and they don’t feel brittle or hollow like some budget bumpers can. For Olympic lifts, powerlifting work, and general training, they perform exactly as they should. Side note: The colors pop nicely, too. The blue and green look great on the black. If you’re new to buying bumper plates, one thing to know: they arrive with a slightly greasy film from the factory. This is completely normal and part of the finishing process. A quick wipe-down with a standard household degreaser takes care of it, and after a week or so of regular use, it disappears entirely. I picked up the 260 lb set during a Black Friday sale for $200 with free shipping. Ordered December 1st, delivered December 12th without issue. At that price point, it’s difficult to justify spending significantly more for comparable training. Very happy with this purchase. These plates will see plenty of work, starting now! It’s time to chase a 600 lb deadlift and a 500 lb squat.

I picked up the CAP bumper plate set recently and I’m genuinely impressed for what you pay. These plates feel rugged and well built, they’ve taken plenty of drops without cracking, chipping, or breaking down. The rubber is thick and dense enough that they don’t bounce all over the place, and they sit nice and flat on the floor. The weight accuracy is legit too. I cross-checked them, and they’re right where you’d expect for the price point. The collars fit snug, nothing rattly, and they slide on/off the bar great without feeling loose. For folks building a home gym or just adding a set of bumpers without dropping a ton of cash, these are hard to beat. Performance-wise, they’re neutral not fancy, but they get the job done. Deadlifts, squats, presses, you name it, they feel consistent. If you want premium feel or competition level precision, you’ll spend more but for most lifters? This set delivers strong performance at a real value. One last thing I’d mention is that they are slightly greasy but that’s something you can fix by spraying them down with some soapy water and wiping them down. Bottom line: dependable, solid, and worth every dollar. Highly recommend.

Good price. It has some chemical smell and grease but you can rinse them off. The smell goes away or get used to. The main purpose as a buyer is the weight and this product did its own good job. Highly recommended.

I got the 260lb set, I believe, on a good deal. There's genuinely no reason to, as a home gym owner, get fancier plates than this; weight is weight, and if they're off by a few ounces here and there, that's not going to change anything about progression. The weights are consistent, good quality. They came with a coating of smelly oil, but I genuinely don't care about that because I just washed it down with soap and a microfiber cloth. They slide on smooth to olympic bars, and they feel comfortable to pick up. Weight seems consistent when I stepped on a scale with a plate, give or take a few ounces. They aren't Eleiko plates that are dialed in with scientific precision, but a 260lb set of these won't run you the price of a car. If you're training at home, put your money elsewhere and start lifting, these are more than good enough.

I have enjoyed them and they are working as intended. The smaller ones do move a bit like a old black record but for the most part I have had no issues with them. I had one show up broken but this was not CAP is was how it was delivered I was given credit to order a new version of the plate that was damaged.

Got the 190 lb set a couple months back for my home gym and overall they're solid plates. The build quality seems really good, thick rubber, sturdy metal inserts, and they feel like they'll last a long time. Like everyone mentions, yeah they came oily and smelly out of the box. I wiped them down with dish soap and water twice then left them outside in the garage for a few days. The smell mostly went away and the oil cleaned off pretty easily so not a huge deal. They've held up well to being dropped during deadlifts and other lifts. No cracking or weird bouncing, just consistent performance. The fit on my Olympic bar is good with no wobbling around. My main complaint is the printing on some of the plates is incomplete in places. A few of the numbers and letters have areas which are partially faded or missing which looks kind of cheap. Doesn't affect function at all but when you're paying decent money for a set you'd expect better quality control on something basic like that. The color coding helps but still would be nice if the text was properly printed on all of them. For the price they're still a decent value compared to other bumper plates out there. They do the job well and seem durable. Just be prepared to clean them when they arrive and don't expect perfect printing. Would recommend overall if you need bumper plates for a home gym setup and don't mind minor cosmetic issues.

Exactly what you ordered I split this set with an alloy set on a 7 ft bar and it does exactly what you want it to. Has an oily residue on the plastic shell, took a couple washes to get rig of the manufacturing smell.
