I have mostly a hodge podge of rogue bumpers, some fringe, and a few iron plates from various places. I can honestly say I don’t really care , I use all of them, even the change plates - for some reason I really like the feel/look of the Rogue HGs. I will say the crumb bumpers, I just didn’t purchase any of those because of the reasons you described and tend to crack over time, especially in a garage. I’d avoid those totally. Mil spec echos, just fine, fringe savage, great looking, regular echos, fine. I will say if you do movements like deficit rows or Landmine work often I find smaller iron plates to be pretty useful; otherwise sturdy bumpers have been perfect. In my experience Rogue hits it out of the park with service, durability, and design almost every time - but it’s important and useful to remember that there are plenty of other choices out there as well. (Rep, for example, has really improved recently). If you care about buying USA made, that’s another consideration as well and it can get difficult there, but worth looking into imo.

I'm surprised with some of the negative reviews. I was so impressed with the kzfaq.infoUgkxMwYg0MOXR4M-oGeyBsNSYe1aPOUoRH6D cage that I got the lat pulldown attachment that goes with it. It is equally outstanding. I don't have one complaint other than putting it together is a job. The instructions and packaging of the parts are very well designed and organized. Also, I stripped and damaged the pull down cable the first day, admitting it was my stupid fault, and they quickly replaced it at no charge. I'm 6'5, 280lbs and fit in the cage just fine. Glenn B

Urethane are awesome, but an overkill for a garage gym, IMO. Stick with iron, wide flange or grip, easy to clean and cheap. Rubber is a dust/dirt magnet, and cheap rubber with stink and mar equipment and floors. You'll need at least one pair of higher end bumpers for "cross-fitting," otherwise stall mats are fine for deads, as long as you control your lifts... If cost isn't a factor and your gym is inside the home, or finished garage... then yea urethane is killer.

My Rogue h20 bumper set seemed Iike a good idea at the time but I now wish I would've built a platform and went with steel or at least just went with just a couple 45lb bumpers to absorb impact.

@GlucksGym3 жыл бұрын
I can't speak on their prices because it seems like they're listed a little oddly atm (the titan 45 is showing as less than it's 10lb) but that's two different styles of hubs which is the real change. The rep black bumper is a metal insert (with hooks, so it's basically all rubber) whereas the titan elite is a steel center that's surrounded by rubber. It's not really an apples to apples comparison, you're comparing a basic style bumper to a competition style though calling that Titan bumper competition level isn't accurate, it's not. If this were rogue vs rogue for example that's a big difference because of the hubs. As for my experiences with those two companies. I'd rank Rep above Titan but I've been pretty happy with both and at the same time both can have quality control issues. I suppose it comes down to what are your plans and how much do you want to spend. Cheap bumpers (unless they're crap) can last a looong time, high end bumpers will probably outlive us.
@sagaking97363 жыл бұрын
You're not comparing the same type. Titan Elite Black bumper plates are for olympic lifting as their center metal ring is very thick. They're much more durable than normal bumper plates. You need to compare Titan economy bumper with REP black bumper. I believe overall Titan is cheaper as its price includes shipping fees.

Yo i have a question, I wanna start working out at home. I wanna buy plates but not cast iron, i don’t really have a budget. So would my next best option be machined? Would you recommend the deep dish from rogue for someone like me who wants to start ?
@GlucksGym3 жыл бұрын
I love the Rogue deep dish (there are other good American options) but those Rogue's are awesome. Depends what you want. They're a little loud but imo really high quality. If money wasn't an option I might look at other options as well but you can't go wrong with them. Though you'll have to get change plates from someone else to finish off the set.

I was out of town last week, and bought a guest pass to the local gym. They had Iron Grip hex plates. Worked great when I was benching, but they were horrible for deadlifts. They invariably hit on a corner of a flat spot and either rolled forward or backwards a couple of inches - EVERY time you set them down (which way they would roll was completely random each time, so you couldn't even second guess it). You had to completely re-set for EVERY rep. Not impressive for deadlifts, in my opinion😬👎

At about 1:12 you say you didn't like your Rep iron plates because the weights "were all over the place." Were they within the stated 3% tolerance?
@GlucksGym2 жыл бұрын
I'll be honest Tom that was a long time ago and I can't remember the weight tolerances but I do remember the finishes being different between them and just not loving the plates overall. That being said they worked and worked well and I only remember having cosmetic issues but like I said, it was long ago and I can't really remember exactly.

Urethane doesn’t have a smell? Iron Grip has entered the chat. I had to return my Iron Grip dumbbells because of the nauseating smell. Also, pro tip: don’t buy Iron Grip 45 pound plates for your home gym. They make deadlifting, or any other floor lift, a huge pain.
@GlucksGym3 жыл бұрын
Older Iron Gripz were rubber (the ones I own) I haven't tried their new urethane when they were brand new so I can't speak to those now but typically urethane should have little to no smell

Why do competition rubber bumpers cost more than the urethane bumpers?
@GlucksGym2 жыл бұрын
Competition bumpers are manufactured to tighter specs which costs a lot more money. So the collar opening on the competition bumpers has to be within .1 of a mm in diameter and the weight tolerances have to be within 15grams vs urethane where it's 1%. So at 45lbs the competition bumpers will be 45lbs +/- 15 grams but the urethane is +/- 200 grams.

Are there any benefits to having encased urethane plate over a urethane bumper? Are they just easier to carry?
@GlucksGym2 жыл бұрын
With a plate that's encased in urethane you can't drop it and treat it like a bumper because it's just a thin coating. It's really just a plate with urethane around it to protect it. A urethane bumper is a true bumper and functions like one. Drop it, throw it around, etc but they're going to be much thicker than a plate.

The video implies the Iron Grip plates are rubber but the site says they’re urethane. I don’t know who’s word I should trust here. Anyone have more info?
@GlucksGym3 жыл бұрын
My Iron Grip are rubber hence the wear, feel, and marks they leave. They're also pretty old so you're not looking at these when you're purchasing them. They now make a urethane version but I would never pay those prices new.

Hi Gluck - do you think rep offers anything good? I'm starting to hate them a lot due to: price gouging, crap website, no stock and inaccurate ETA's, shoddy workmanship (broken straps, j-cups, etc), and the fact that pretty much everything they "make" is just big orders from alibaba. They used to offer some cash savings over Rogue but I don't even think that is true anymore.
@GlucksGym3 жыл бұрын
They did recently increase prices but I believe it was the first time in a few years. You're right they're (and most companies) foreign made but they have some good stuff. Specifically their benches (I have the FB 5000 and ab 5000) are incredible. I'm pretty picky with my equipment so my stuff is from all over but I always but quality where I can.

You're right, it's a tough time but companies have upped their production. Rogue posts new stocl daily. Keep searching and hopefully you get what you're looking for.
