Milspec plates are also slightly thinner than our standard black plates, with a more rounded edge. In the end, both plates are great, and you should be confident in knowing you are using the best bumper plates on the market today. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBUMPER PLATE OVERVIEW\n\n\n\n\nBumper Plates are a necessity for any garage gym, and there are plenty of reasons why.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    {\n      \"__shgImageElements\": { \"uuid\": \"s-40282295-9e7e-49fa-a7e2-7c6d52ab4fe4\" }\n    }\n  \n\n\nWHAT IS A BUMPER PLATE?\n\n\n\n\nA bumper plate is a weight plate for Olympic bars that is made almost entirely of rubber (with a steel or brass collar in the middle that accepts an Olympic bar).\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    {\n      \"__shgImageElements\": { \"uuid\": \"s-cd9680e8-31b9-42e9-bb3d-6eb3c37d166a\" }\n    }\n  \n\n\nWHY BUMPER PLATES?\n\n\n\n\nThe \"end state\" of the Olympic lifts is overhead or at the shoulder. Many lifters drop the weights from overhead. Since bumper plates are almost entirely rubber, being dumped from the shoulder or overhead will not damage the weights, bar, floor, bystanders, the lifter, etc...\nBumper plates are also great for garage gym use- the rubber construction is much quieter than traditional metal construction.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    {\n      \"__shgImageElements\": { \"uuid\": \"s-32987c09-9713-4d73-8128-8c4edebe5437\" }\n    }\n  \n\n\nWHAT EXERCISES CAN I DO WITH BUMPER PLATES?\n\n\n\n\nSnatchClean and JerkPressThrusterDeadliftSquatBenchOverhead lungeAnd even more!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEXCELLENT: QUALITY, PRICE, TIME\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\"I've now purchased 55, 45, 35, 25, &amp; 10lb pairs from Fringe.
