CAP Barbell Rubber Olympic Bumper Plate | Multiple Options/Colors

Recently bought the “PRO” 45lbs plates and these are of high quality for a very low cost. Even at full price ($59 each at time of posting) these are reasonable but for the $38 paid, they are a steal. These are a nice “dead bounce” bumper plate well suited for heavy and dynamic lifting. The economy plates are usually bouncier which makes dynamic lifts a bit more hazardous with the rebound. These arrived nicely packed and good condition. There is an oily residue and smell that is typical of most bumper plates when new.

I'm lifting light nowadays and these were a great addition to my Olympic steel weight set to only be used on deadlifts IYKYK. I liked them so much I purchased additional bumper plates for a full set when they went on sale. Good quality and durability for the price with only con being a slight rubber smell common with all but the pricier sets. One 10 pound plate was bent nearly in half when I dropped a loaded bar in the rack. The 10 pound plate simply sprung back into shape without a scratch.

Ok, so everybody knows Cap for making very decent gym related products with very friendly pricing. picked up a set of 15’s. weighing them, they are spot on and are nice quality for home gym use. these get the job done, look good, but cannot be compared to commercial grade and you shouldnt expect them to. this kind of sounds bad but it isn’t, these plates really are great, i just dont think they would hold up to dozens of people using, dropping and abusing them all day every day in a commercial gym setting. they wont be used like that in a home gym. i almost took a star off for one reason. the plates come nicely packaged in a box with foam surrounding the vox corbers and each plate in a plastic bag. when i opened the box i was immediately hit with a strong rubber and oil smell and could see the plates were covered in an oily film through the bag. i wiped them down with paper towels and then a microfiber cloth with windex and they were still a little greasy feeling. this film will eventually evaporate out, but there is quite a noticeable smell in my garage gym. having had cap plates before this film and smell dissapates over the coming days, but i never saw so much of this oil on their plates before. just a bit of inconvenience but in the end the plates function as i would expect them. in the pic i submitted for this review i am using an adapter on the plate to fit my open trap which uses standard 1 inch plates.

I am superb pleased with these CAP Olympic rubber bumper plates. They came in very beautiful 🌈 colors. The weight is accurate since I weighted them on my friend's shop professional weighting machine. Accuracy is very important for me in this matter. The grip is Nice and smooth. There are no sharp edges neither the plate, nor the center coupling. Perfect fit for my 30 lbs. CAP 7 ft. Olympic barbell, my CAP 48 in. Z Bar, the perfect fit for the CAP Dumbells set and for my leg extension and leg curl bench. I really love these. And having a Prime Membership helped a lot for the delivery because it was FREE and on other sites they were asking for a lot for the shipping. Amazon is really other thing!

Being used to steel plates, these are comically large. I honestly thought they made a mistake and sent me 35's when I opened the box. But no just giant, smelly 25 lb plates. Overall I'm very satisfied tho. They're high quality, sit nicely on my bar and seem well balanced. Will definitely be buying more. Although I'm a little worried that the 35's won't fit thru my front door 😂

I currently own a set of CAP Competition colored plates, which have been excellent and indistinguishable from my Rogue Echo set (within 0.15” thickness). I wanted to add some more 45’s and (at the time of this review) the Pro plates are less than $1/lb. Shipping was fast w/ no damage. The 45’s ship individually and are well packed. Mine had no imperfections and they have a great dead bounce. They have an oily coating that easily wipes off w/ denatured alcohol. For aesthetics, I love the raised lettering these have. It just looks nice and adds a little quality feel over the Economy sets. You can match these Pro plates perfectly to the Competition set, just takes a little time with a permanent white paint pen (see photos). These are now the perfect plates from a function, quality and looks standpoint.

Great bumper plates, I bought the pair of (2) 55lb plates and loaded them both on my scale, and they are exactly 110lbs for both of them, I was pleasantly surprised, I was expecting a little bit of a discrepancy in weight due to the low price compared to other brands, but lo and behold the weight accuracy is spot on. The finish is smooth and soft, they did come a little oily and smelly of chemical, but I cleaned them with a kitchen napkin and let them air dry all night and that solved the problem. The hole size is 2", just right for my ritfit Olympic barbell, they are 3-5/16" thick. Great buy!

These plates came kind of warped, like a bike tire after hitting a bump too hard, so the plates fit completely come together in some places. I bought 8, hard to saint was just one. It’s all of them. But they to otherwise flawless. Amazing plates. Worked in a gym for years, and have lifted for a long time, these are the best bang for your buck.
