Nike Grind Bumper Plate

The Nike Grind Bumper Plate is designed for Olympic lifting and CrossFit movements such as cleans, snatches, and jerks. Its dense rubber construction cushions drops and is more suitable for repeated barbell impacts than a standard cast-iron plate.

The catalog item is typically a 25-pound plate. That weight is useful for technique work, warm-ups, and building a barbell load in smaller increments than a 45-pound plate.

Yes, its bumper-plate design is intended to tolerate controlled drops from exercises such as cleans and snatches. Lifters should still use an appropriate lifting surface and avoid dropping an unloaded plate from unnecessary height.

Nike Grind refers to recycled Nike manufacturing and footwear materials used in products such as rubber training equipment. On this plate, the material identity connects the cushioned impact surface with Nike's recycled-material program.
