Crumb, virgin rubber or coloured plates?
Crumb rubber plates are made from recycled rubber and are the best value. Virgin rubber plates are made from new rubber for a cleaner finish. Coloured Dynamic bumpers are colour-coded by weight so you can load the bar at a glance. See all bumper plates and Olympic barbells.
Weight Set FAQs
How much weight do I need to start?
Most people starting out are well served by a 20kg bar with 60kg to 100kg of plates. Add plates in pairs as you get stronger, or choose 150kg if you already squat and deadlift heavy.
Will your plates fit my barbell?
Our bumper plates have a 50mm (2in) centre, so they fit any Olympic barbell, including all our bars.
Can I drop bumper plates?
Bumper plates are made to be dropped from overhead in Olympic lifts. Drop them onto a suitable rubber gym floor or a platform to protect the plates and your floor.
Should I choose a 15kg or 20kg barbell?
The 20kg bar is the standard men's Olympic barbell. The 15kg bar is the women's bar, shorter with a thinner shaft for smaller hands. Read our barbell buying guide.
Do the weight sets include a bar?
The Evolution and Team 2.0 packages include a 15kg or 20kg barbell. The crumb rubber plate packages and fractional sets are plates only.
