help Strength Shop Hi-Temp Bumper Plates FAQ
How much bounce do the Strength Shop Hi-Temp bumper plates have?
Because they are manufactured from recycled vulcanized rubber, these plates have a higher bounce compared to competition-grade urethane bumpers. This dead bounce reduction makes them an excellent, cost-effective choice for absorbing the impact of repeated heavy drops during Olympic lifting.
Do these recycled rubber bumper plates have a strong rubber smell?
Like most hi-temp plates, they may carry a distinct rubber odor right out of the packaging, though it generally dissipates over time. Keeping them in a well-ventilated garage or outdoor gym setup will help speed up the airing-out process.
Will the Strength Shop Hi-Temp plates fit on a standard Olympic barbell?
Yes, they feature a standard 50.4mm center hole designed to fit seamlessly on any regulation Olympic barbell. The stainless steel insert ensures a secure fit that reduces wobbling during heavy lifts.
Are the Strength Shop hi-temp bumpers safe to drop from overhead?
Yes, these plates are specifically designed to withstand the abuse of repeated drops from overhead during exercises like snatches and clean-and-jerks. Their thick, durable rubber construction protects both your barbell and your floor from damage.
