A graded bumper set bought in one order, so your bar loads correctly from the first session. Buying bumpers as a set rather than pair by pair is cheaper per kilogram and guarantees consistent diameter and finish across every plate on the bar.
KEY FEATURES
- Complete graded set of Olympic bumper plates
- Uniform outer diameter for consistent bar height
- Crumb rubber construction with steel inserts
- Matched finish and tolerance across the whole set
- Covers warm-up through to working loads without gaps
- Built for Olympic lifting, CrossFit and floor deadlifting
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Mixing bumper plates from different batches or suppliers causes practical problems. Diameters vary by a few millimetres, thicknesses differ, and the bar ends up sitting fractionally off level. Buying a graded pro set in one order eliminates that, giving you plates that were manufactured together and behave identically on both sleeves.
A pro set also solves the increment problem. Bumpers are usually bought as heavy pairs, which leaves you jumping in 10kg or 20kg steps on the bar. A graded set includes the lighter pairs and change plates that let you add 2.5kg or 5kg to a working set, which is what makes steady progression possible on a press or a squat.
TRAINING APPLICATION
A complete bumper set supports the full Olympic and functional repertoire: snatch, clean and jerk, power clean, thruster, deadlift from the floor, front squat and overhead squat. It also makes failed reps safe to bail on, which is the practical reason many home lifters choose bumpers even when they never perform a competition lift.
HOW TO CHOOSE?
Choose the pro set if you train Olympic lifts, do CrossFit-style conditioning, or deadlift from the floor without a rack. Choose cast iron plates if you train inside a rack and want the most weight per pound. If you already own heavy bumpers, individual pairs or change plates may be the better purchase than a full set. Add rubber flooring before the first drop, not after.
FAQs
What is included in the pro set?
Set composition is shown in the variant options on the page. Check the exact pair breakdown before ordering so you can plan your loading increments.
Why buy a set rather than individual pairs?
Consistent diameter and finish across plates, better price per kilogram, and a complete range of increments from the first session.
Do I need change plates as well?
If your set stops at 5kg pairs, small 1.25kg and 2.5kg change plates are worth adding so you can progress in smaller steps on pressing movements.
How is a heavy set delivered?
Large plate orders are shipped across multiple boxes. Allow for parts of the order arriving separately before contacting support.
