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

Good weight. The rubber makes it easy to handle and pick up. The weights had a rubber smell for a few weeks, but honestly, i liked it. it made my basement smell like a gym. Had purchased a new weight cable set with a smith machine and needed new weight with it, so it felt cool to have everything new in basement. This weight set is a great price and you get everything you need. The boxes come in 6 or 7 boxes for each weight plate.

Fantastic bumper plates and well worth the cost. Buy these over the standard CAP bumper plates because the standard stink horribly and are very greasy. These are much better and are with the minor cost increase over the standard.

I’m really happy with this bumper plate set! They’ve been a fantastic addition to my home gym and are exactly what I needed to level up my lifting. The rubber coating is high quality and does a great job of absorbing impact, which is a lifesaver for my floors when I'm finishing a heavy set. The 2-inch steel inserts fit perfectly onto my Olympic bar with no awkward rattling or sliding. They feel very durable and well-made, like they’re built to last through years of daily use. It’s a solid, reliable set that looks professional and performs even better. If you’re looking for a dependable set of weights to round out your workout space, these are a great choice!

So, getting out of the way I have no experience with any other rubber bumper plates, I think these are great. For starters, since Amazon reviews aren't always clear, this review is for the 260 lb Economy - Speckled set. Getting to the elephant in the room, yes, they have an odor and are they slippery out of the package, but there are valid reasons for that and many other bumper plate brands and products are like this at first so it's not really a point of contention, just something that potential buyers need be aware of. So, they smell and are slippery. To solve that, first I opened the boxes, removed them from their plastic bags, and sat them in the garage for a few days with a fan blowing over them. Then, I washed each plate with Dawn and a sponge, one of those double-sided blue kitchen sponges in a utility sink (but you could do this in a tub or anywhere really). I washed each plate twice. Load the soft side of the sponge with Dawn and soap down each side of the plate and then switch to the scour side of the sponge and work the plate into a good lather all over. Get each side, the center hole, and the outer rim of the plate. Rinse and repeat the process. Then dry with a towel. You'll know you're good when after drying you leave a finger streak that disappears in a few seconds completely. If finger marks remain then there is still oil to be removed. Note: you should see the water/suds turning black/grey as you wash each plate and those suds clearing up on the second (or if need, third wash). So, set them out a few days under a fan in a well ventilated area then wash each one twice with Dawn to a good lather and towel dry. Now you'll be able to put them in your house without odor if that is where you plan to use them. I didn't weight every plate but a 45lb weighed 45.4lb on my home scale but the scale could easily be off and a sample size of one is useless, basic take away, the weights are close enough. Also, some people complain that the 10 and 15 lb are flimsy and they are but they also aren't designed with side loads in mind or to be used without the 25+ plates to help spread out the load, so be aware of that. Basically, don't leave the 10 or 15s on your barbell by themselves, especially in heat, for longer than your workout or they may flex and break. You can leave them on the bar with larger weights no problem, just not themselves. One last thing, while cleaning, don't scrub TOO hard with the scour side. You don't want to shed rubber or rub off the letters and numbers. Pound for pound tho, very happy with the set and are competitively priced to iron plates making this set an excellent set an excellent value (One last thing actually, I do find the speckling makes reading the numbers on the plates a big challenging as the speckling and numbers are the same color but it's not all that bad either, it's not like you're reading them a lot and they've color coded...and size coded, lol)

Good product and weight is true, but some of my weights came scratched and chipped, and it was also super oily and even after wiping it down it still was kinda oily, has this annoying thick rubber smell and it doesn't go away, even after airing it out, although I did just get this yesterday so hopefully the smell will be fully gone after a week or so

I’ve been using this set in my home gym and overall it’s a solid option. I enjoy the different colors. The plates feel durable, and the rubber coating finish does a good job protecting both the floor and the bar. They fit securely on an Olympic bar, and the steel inserts help keep everything stable during lifts. I like that all the plates have a uniform diameter, which makes them work well for things like deadlifts. It allows them to be versatile. The weight accuracy feels consistent enough for regular training, and they’ve held up well so far. There is a slight rubber smell at first, but that’s pretty typical and fades over time. Also worth noting that they may arrive in separate shipments, so don’t be surprised if everything doesn’t show up at once. I think that this is a good bumper plate set for home use that’s durable, functional, and gets the job done without overcomplicating things.

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.

If you are sent sensitive, be cautious. While I did read the reviews and did take note that most said that these came with a strong odor, I took that with a grain of salt thinking that it was a bit overstated. Not really. They do have a strong smell of rubber. While it has only been a few days, the rubber is still off-gassing a lot. I am not sent sensitive so it’s not super offensive but my wife is and it’s not great for her. The first two days nearly the whole house smelled of what ever kind of rubber these things are made of. It was really bad in the basement that first day. It has gotten better and I do suspect that the smell will diminish over time. I believe that they will always have an odor. They are all the same diameter, which the images clearly show. I find that a bit odd, but that isn’t a problem. Just know that they are all the same size just different thickness. All seem to be correct in their labeled weight and seem durable. I do not plan on dropping them but they are made of a high durometer rubber so they probably won’t bounce much if dropped. They fit the 2” Olympic bar I got perfectly. I did get the same manufacturer for the bar as the weights thinking, correctly, that all would fit without issues. I think they will work well. Only 4 due to the odor- ooof…. They do have an odor.

I’m really impressed with these Olympic weight plates! Unlike some plates that arrive with a strong chemical smell, mine had no odor at all, which was a huge plus. They feel solid, well-balanced, and the finish is excellent—very durable and professional-looking. The only adjustment I had to make was with the sleeve: my old 1980s setup was too big for the new plates, but once I purchased an adjuster sleeve, everything fit perfectly in the center. Beyond that, they work flawlessly and make lifting smooth and secure. Highly recommend these plates for anyone looking for quality and reliability in their home or commercial gym setup.

As is. They seem good. As like all the other reviews they smell bad and are super oily. But the price is good. If anything changes I’ll update the review. I got the 260 pack.

For a home gym I think these are great. I got the economy 190lb set. They're no rogue bumper plates, but they're absolutely fine for my use. I have no plans on an IPF competition and I won't be doing cleans with them so I can't comment on how I think they will hold up. For normal power rack use these are great. Some of the rubber is nicked here and there. Some is definitely shipping, some is clearly manufacturing, nothing affects the plate. I measured each weight to see what "economy" would have for accuracy and I think I've landed on an explanation. I'm pretty sure they measure the weights and THEN coat them. 45s were 45.4 each 25s were 25.4 each 10s were 10.4 each They arrived covered in what seemed like a machining oil, not dripping or anything, but needs to be wiped off. Get your favourite dish soap and a sponge ready, or a good degreaser. Took me 10 minutes to clean them all and they feel great now. The smell was not bad like other reviews stated. I will update this review if something breaks/doesn't work/shows low quality in the future. First day, they're absolutely 5 stars.

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.

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.
