When sizing-up a set of bumper plates, there are three key factors to consider:
- materials
- construction
- function
On most websites, they all look quite similar. But what you really want to know is how well they’ll work and how they’ll look after six months or six years of usage. With so many various sorts of bumper plates flooding the market, comparing them online may be difficult. To assist you in determining which bumpers are appropriate for you, let’s take a look at the three elements described above: materials, construction, and function.
Materials
For practical fitness training, Vulcanized, virgin rubber bumper plates are the way to go. That’s where we’ll begin with Virgin rubber bumper plates for functional fitness training.
The colour, quality, and type of the bumper plates are determined by the type of rubber they’re made from. Fresh rubber that hasn’t been recycled or utilized before is used to make Rubber Bumper Plates. As a result, there are no polymers, adhesives, or bonds in the base material during production.
Clean, high-quality plates begin with a clean source. The lower grade plates will start out as a mélange of industrial chemicals from who knows where. However, don’t mix up this information with recycled rubber plate make-up, which we’ll discuss in a minute. You want virgin rubber plates if you’re searching for high-quality everyday plates.
The second piece of the puzzle is vulcanised rubber, which plays a critical role in high-quality plates. Vulcanized rubber has been chemically bonded by the addition of sulfur, which improves the durability of the chemical chains in the rubber. Consider all of the tough rubber that you encounter on a daily basis, such as car tyres, shoe soles, hoses, and so on. The best sort of bumper plate is made of vulcanised rubber, which is what you want in a bumper plate.
Bumper plates made of recycled rubber aren’t the end of the world, either.
However, recycled rubber bumper plates have their place. There are a few advantages to consider right away: They are ecologically beneficial, and you can frequently use recycled rubber plates for outdoor activities.
Recycled Rubber Bumper Plates are one of the most durable plates available. Because of the recycled rubber shavings and polymer bonding chemicals, they are typically quite dense and have a very low bounce. This is due to the fact that it includes a combination of recycled rubber shavings and polymer binding agents. To guarantee that the polymer chains link and the connection holds, these materials are combined and pressed for a longer period than most bumpers.
Another point on recyclable rubber bumpers – These materials usually result in damper or quieter sounding bumper plates. So, if you’re training in an area where the noise of falling bumper plates bothers you and your neighbours, Crumb Rubber Bumper Plates may be the answer.
Bumper Plates for Training and Competition
If you want the best materials, then Training Plates and Competition Bumper Plates are what you’re looking for. You’re receiving the greatest quality Vulcanized Virgin Rubber, which is produced to IWF and IPF standards.
Construction
This is something we’ve previously addressed in the materials area, so there’s no need to go into detail. The greatest indicator of excellence these days is social proof. If a brand has good coaches, gyms, and athletes who have been supporting them for a long time, you can be certain that you’ll receive a high-quality set of bumper plates.
If a company has been in the functional fitness industry for ten years or more and is yet one of the sector leaders, you can be sure that they are making decent gear. They have given excellent equipment to the market and community, which has led to long-term client loyalty to keep them afloat.
What is the purpose of your bumper plates?
