Types of Plates/Bumpers

Depending on their use, there are different types of Olympic plates or bumpers, mainly distinguished by the material they're made of. Regardless of the material, these plates come in various weights, from 0.25 kg to 25 kg.

Based on material, we can distinguish between:

Rubber: Traditional bumpers. Used in activities or sports where the bar is dropped. Rubber provides good shock absorption when dropping the bar, protecting both equipment and flooring. Rubber flooring is always recommended.
Metal: We offer two types: calibrated and training plates. The key difference is weight accuracy: ±10g for calibrated and 4% for training plates. Ideal for free weight and powerlifting work.
Urethane: Plates with the best finish, built for long lifespan. Very high hardness; weightlifting platforms (+40mm rubber) are essential if they’ll be dropped.
Plastic: Technique plates. Their low density allows solid structure at very light weight.
Wood: Most economical version of technique plates.

Benefits of Training with Olympic Equipment

If you're wondering what sets Olympic gear apart, the answer is simple: consistent technique.

Olympic equipment follows international federation regulations—like the IWF for weightlifting or the IPF for powerlifting.

Maniak Fitness is committed to these standards and has official IPF approval.

Using Olympic gear ensures consistent performance no matter where you train.

Which Bumper Plates Should You Buy?

Do you practice weightlifting, CrossFit, or functional training and drop the bar during workouts? Then you need bumpers.

When choosing bumper plates, consider the following:

Center Ring

Three types:

Steel ring
12cm core ring
Competition core ring

Why does it matter? Because it's the contact and union point between the bar and the rubber. Being made of steel like the bar, it’s very resistant. The larger the metal-rubber contact diameter, the better the energy of the impact is dissipated. All else equal, larger rings = better durability.

Composition

Rubber composition affects bumper plate performance. Four basic types:

HiTemp: Low-density rubber plates, thicker than standard, allowing lower total load, higher bounce, and better noise/vibration absorption. Great for repeated bar drops.
Black: Hard plates with minimal, controlled bounce. Very affordable but more brittle than HiTemp or colored versions.
Colored: More elastic rubber. Bounce is slightly higher than black but lower than HiTemp. Very durable, but slightly more expensive.
Urethane: Extremely hard with almost no bounce. Absorbs little energy. Very long-lasting and ages better than rubber. Generates more noise and is noticeably more expensive.

Tolerances

Two categories: competition bumpers and training bumpers. Competition plates: 20g tolerance. Training plates: 2%.

How to Use Olympic Plates Properly

Proper use ensures user safety and equipment longevity. Follow these guidelines:

Use collars correctly: Don’t skip them. Without collars, dropped or accelerated bars may cause plates to shift, altering the bar’s center of gravity and risking damage.
Load plates in the correct order: Always load from heaviest to lightest. Placing a fractional plate first, then a 5 kg disc, exposes the latter to the bar’s full load if dropped at a slight angle. And remember: rubber plates ≤5 kg should never be dropped.
Work surface: Always use lifting platforms or at least 20mm thick rubber flooring. This improves traction and protects both the athlete and the plates. Platforms also prevent bars from rolling, reducing accident risk.
Storage: Don’t leave loaded bars on the floor. Rubber plates can deform over time. Store on proper racks and away from direct sunlight to prevent rubber aging.

Tips for Training with Bumper Plates

Use proper technique: Learn proper form to avoid injuries and improve performance. Seek guidance from a coach or expert.
Start with light weight: Begin with manageable weights and increase gradually as you gain confidence.
Warm up properly: Do mobility drills, stretches, and general warm-ups before training to prep muscles and joints.
Use proper gear: Equipment like belts, knee sleeves, and wrist wraps can improve form and prevent injury during heavy lifts.
Learn to fail safely: Have a training partner or use safety racks in case you miss a lift.

Tips for Olympic Lifting/CrossFit with Bumper Plates

Olympic lifting requires extra care for proper training progression:

Practice with an empty bar: Master form before adding weight to prevent injury.
Include accessory exercises: Build the strength and stability needed for Olympic movements.
Increase weight gradually: Focus on proper technique. Quality over quantity.

Tips for Powerlifting with Bumper Plates

Powerlifting also requires specific attention for safe, effective training:

Use proper grip: Prevent injuries to wrists, elbows, and shoulders.
Maintain good technique: Always prioritize proper posture and movement mechanics.
Use appropriate gear: Lifting belts, knee sleeves, wrist wraps, and competition singlets can enhance performance and protection.
Use safety equipment and supervision: Set safety pins at the right height in your rack and, if possible, train with a spotter.
