CAP Barbell Rubber Olympic Bumper Plate | Multiple Options/Colors

These bumper plates are exactly what I was looking for! The 45-pound plate feels solid and well-balanced, and the rubber coating really makes a difference—it protects my floor and equipment without that strong rubber smell you sometimes get with other brands. The steel hub fits my Olympic bar snugly with no wobble, and the uniform size across different weights makes loading and unloading smooth. You can tell the construction is built to last. CAP has been around forever, and it shows in the quality of this plate. Perfect for heavy lifts, garage gyms, or just adding some durability to your setup. Definitely worth it!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Durable and Great Value for Home GymI picked up a pair of the CAP 45lb PRO bumper plates for my garage gym, and they’ve been excellent so far. The weight is accurate (within a few ounces when I checked with a scale), and the plates feel solid and well-built. The rubber coating has just the right amount of bounce when dropped, and they fit snugly on my Olympic bar without wobbling.They aren’t as thick as some cheaper bumpers, which means I can load more weight on the bar, and the finish has held up well after multiple workouts. There’s a bit of rubber smell and oiliness when first unboxing, but it fades quickly.Overall, for the price, these are a fantastic addition to any home gym. If you’re looking for reliable bumper plates that don’t break the bank, CAP delivers.Would definitely buy again.

Great value

First off, if the smell when walking into Harbor Freight or Northern Tool makes you nauseous, these aren’t for you. If getting a bit of oily residue on your manicured hands the first couple times you handle something, these aren’t for you. You’ve been warned, so don’t buy them thinking your luck is better than everyone else’s and the rules of the universe somehow don’t apply to you, and then leave a 1 star review whining about the horrible smell and the oily residue.If you are however looking for some bumper plates for a garage gym that won’t break the bank these are for you. They’re nothing special except for heavy round circles that fit Olympic size bars. These are especially great when you snag them on sale for less than $1/lb. The weight seems to be on par with the labels.One real con, and it’s minor, the 45’s are a bit wider than I would have anticipated, they will take up more space on the bar than typical iron weights or the higher end brands do, but it’s also in the listing pictures. However it’s not enough to deter me from buying them in the future when I catch them on sale again. Or find a like new set that someone returned because their luck ran out…

CAP makes pretty good products. They aren’t top tier by any means but they get the job done. I am not even positive which CAP weights this review was for because I have about 350 lbs of various weights between their economy and elite series weights. The economy series is nice. I like the color markings to differentiate weight easily at a glance. I’d say accuracy of weight is hit or miss. Some are spot on but the 45lb weights are actually 46.7 lbs (at least mine are).I have a multiple 45 lbs plates but a single one has developed a bit of a crack in it. I’ve only had it for 5 months so that’s not great. But the other 3 45 lbs plates are all fine. I have 2 15 lb plates and one of them developed a small almost bubble on the side. Though it’s very small and not an issue, but it’s a slight deformation. All the other economy models are fine. As for elites, I only have 2 35 and 2 25 elite models. You can tell it’s virgin rubber versus recycled rubber on the economy. It just feels denser almost. I have no deformities or cracks in the elite models. Price wise you can sometimes get elite for as cheap and in some cases cheaper than the economy so I’d go with elite. HOWEVER, the elite is all black and lacks color to differentiate them easily at a glance.Look. These aren’t Rogue Fitness. But they aren’t $3-5 a lb either. They are just as heavy to lift as other premium brands at a fraction of the cost. They’ll do for the avg lifter and they’re a great buy on a budget.

At the end of the day, I’m getting reps in bc of these affordable barbell plates. YES it reeks of cigarette smoke when it arrives. The packaging tape is yellow likely from all the smokers in the shop. Annoying - yes. Would I return it over this - no. I ordered three separate orders or weights, and every time is was stinky and oily. Does it hinder my workout? Noooo. Again, it’s annoying, but they look good and I’m so glad I didn’t purchase used plates on those secondhand apps for the double the cost.I’ve had them 1-2 months and the smell lingers. I haven’t put a ton of effort into cleaning them as they stay in the garage and the odor is not strong enough to damage or stain anything else. Best bang for your buck.

Exactly what I was expecting - great product and quality looks awesome. it comes with oily product that needs to be wiped (clean)

Weight works great. Had a slight burnt rubber smell to it opening the box but went away after wiping with some rubbing alcohol and airing out.
