help DHS IWF Competition Bumper Plates FAQ
What is the difference between DHS IWF Competition Bumper Plates and training bumpers?
DHS IWF Competition Bumper Plates are precision-calibrated to the exact strict standards of the International Weightlifting Federation, ensuring zero weight tolerance errors. Unlike standard training bumpers, which can vary slightly in weight, competition plates are color-coded and cast to guarantee consistent weight distribution for official Olympic weightlifting. They also feature a stronger metal hub to withstand repeated heavy drops.
Are DHS competition bumper plates calibrated for official competitions?
Yes, true competition plates like the DHS IWF models undergo strict quality control to be certified for official Olympic weightlifting competitions. They guarantee consistent weight distribution, meaning a 25kg plate will weigh exactly 25.0kg with very little variance. This precise calibration is mandatory for setting official national and world records.
Can I drop DHS competition bumper plates from overhead?
Yes, these cast iron plates with reinforced metal hubs are specifically designed to withstand the heavy impacts of Olympic weightlifting. The rubberized outer shell helps absorb the shock of being dropped from overhead during a snatch or clean and jerk. However, they are more expensive than standard training plates and are best suited for serious lifters.
