Facts

Iron gives me wood!😆🤣😆🤣😆🤣🏋‍♂️

Seriously. At work we have a trash squat rack with cheap iron weights that I enjoy more than my rogue rack and rogue bumper plates

@@Denali_Rebel yer buddy

I have a minor problem. I do one-armed dumbbell shoulderpress for my lagging arm, and I like to get the best ROM possible, but I do 20 kg/44 lbs and even with the one set of thinner 2.5 kg plates, that really fills up the bar. I could probably get it up to 22 or 23 using my 2 kg plates, but that's it. I have loads of 5 kg plates to go heavier with, but they're wider. Still would work, but I like the feeling of great ROM.

You can actually dampen the sound of iron if you mix them in bumpers But yea bumpers are so much quieter esp on stall mats

Pro trick : watch series at InstaFlixxer. Me and my gf have been using them for watching all kinds of movies lately.

@Korbyn Dean Definitely, have been watching on InstaFlixxer for since december myself :)

And take 50kg plates😊

That says a lot about you.

sounds pretty interesting... is there a online shop or is it just local... And if yes do the Shop to europe

@@sasizzo_1742 It is a Hungarian company called Franko Rubber. They have a webshop (which I cannot link because youtube deletes my comment immediately), but only in hungarian, and I don't know if they ship to other european countries. Maybe worth a try to ask them. If you find their webshop take look into the outlet menu, it contains their second tier products. I ordered my plates from this outlet and it is still very good quality, and only minor (few dkgs) differences in weight, but about 2/3 of the price compared to the first class stuff.

@@csabadanyiko6096 thank you very much

Shame they dont sell to Czech Republic..🇨🇿🇭🇺

Crumb rubber plates give off toxic gas. I've just made the mistake of ordering some and I'm trying to get rid of them ASAP.

No no, everyone should lift with iron plates. Every rubber plate looks Like a 45, and if you have self respect, you go through the shame of loading the barbell with those tiny weights untill you can lift the big weights

It is important for the mindset that everyone sees you lift less then 45's both sides. In the gym i went to, there where dudes who put 25's at the beginnig and real 45's after so it looked Like they lifted 225, 315,... But in fact its atleast 40lbs lighter. Then you have the really shameless people who load up a barbell with only 25lbs bumper plates so they can also look Like they lift dady weights. Just stick with the real weights, except when you do things Like clean and jerk

@@stronglift1873 lol, the bumper plates all have different colors, and they're not all as thin as the 10lb shown in this video. Sounds like Cap.

@@DimiArt not where i train, in fact, most bumper plates are just 1 color i believe. olympic plates are colored, but they are also expensive as hell. I dont give much about lifting anymore, started doing mma and kickboxing 9 months ago so people can clown around in gyms all they want, they wont bother me anymore.

@@stronglift1873 shouldn't have let it bother you in the first place. Glad you're doing mma and kickboxing though.

I agree. I think it's part of our modern culture's need for instant gratification, "everyone gets a trophy", "look what I can do!" - WITHOUT having to put in all those years of hard, repetitive, boring work....

Wrong,iron plate feel way heavier than rubber so people dont want to use it

Iron is the best material of all time🔥

They are great if you don't need to drop weights on the floor.

That's why they call it pumping iron! 🏋️‍♂️ You'll never hear pumping rubber!!!!! 🤦‍♂️

I don’t see how it should be if your lifting the same weight

@@danieltatum4220 yeah but you just have to workout with them both and see the difference obviously they weigh the same but it’s weird rubber feels heavy but light at the same time idk how to explain😭

@@GlomanAlgy Yeah that’s true

@@danieltatum4220 it actually is.. if you load deadlift all with bumpers bar bends little more. iron is closer to the center.

Well, cast iron, but that doesn't rhyme, haha!

Its not its plus+10 testosterone per plate

Big man so strong 💪🏼👺 no one is impressed by your auditory assault trust me bro, they’d be way more impressed if you just shut up and got on with it quietly

Bowchikabowwow!

Yes unfortunately center hub can come off if you abuse its enough

yep, this is an under-appreciated fact i had to wash my rubber plates with soap multiple times to get the really smelly shit out of them. and even then they still smell a tiny bit. can't be healthy. i regret not buying iron

@@yes-vy6bn urrrrgh that sucks! The store I got mine from (Power System) had another barbell set that was made with "urethane plates with inner stainless steel" So I got them and I was happy with it. Urethane doesn't have a smell and I didn't have to worry about the iron plates rusting (I live in a humid area)

And also way more cheaper than iron...Right?😂 Bro no one can beat your imagination power, I think you eat gold 🐠 fish daily....😊

I prefer Iron for 3 good reasons 1. It’s heavier 2. It’s scary 3. Old school 3 good reasons why I hate rubber plates 1. It’s lighter 2. It’s safer 3. It’s modern

@@scaryvalidation Rubber plates can be as heavy, and therefore can do as much harm depending upon the activity. "Modern" is irrelevant.

@@siegfriedhorner4436 Nope they are not as heavier there is a reason why it’s call pumping iron not pumping rubber.

@@scaryvalidation Of course 20 kilos is 20 kilos, rubber or iron. You understand that, don't you? What it's called is not relevant. "Pumping iron" was coined before bumper plates existed. But weight is weight, whatever it's material. Also, irrespective of the material a plate is made of, the barbell bar is steel. When the BB hits your throat, or chest, or foot, or..any part of you, It won't matter what the plates are made of. I only have iron. But that's because I've had them for decades. And for the reasons I mentioned previously, I would still buy iron.

@@siegfriedhorner4436 I don’t like rubber plates and I will always consider them inferior to Iron Plates, I do not respect bumper rubber plates, there is a reason why the phrase iron sharpens iron exist and rubber sharpens rubber does not, Iron is way heavier than rubber and you won’t convince me because I am close minded when it comes to rubber plates.

You should’ve gave it to me Iron is what I want

Go iron for longevity. Rust is easy to handle and theyll last forever, while rubber chips or shaves away after some time

Still will outlast both

Cast iron weight plates will last for several generations.

The bar is still Iron.

iron is more decent than plastic so that's the difference you will do less work to get ripped than rubber.

@SuperHaitiano well yes, but like a 45lb rubber plate is lighter than a 45lb metal plate. Why is that?

They are more dense.. Basically same weight less size, the pressure on your hand when you lift them it's bigger so it seems like they weights more

@@hobbleyopple3612 45lbs is 45lbs. The reason to choose steel/iron over bumper is to have more weight on the bar.

Here's another question - which weighs more: a ton of feathers or a ton of rocks?

@@biknjak both weigh the same

They suck, I will always prefer iron
