Does thickness matter in your bumper plates?
Weight It Out (Code NoFate247): www.weightitout.us/?ref=NoFate247
Correction: These are not made in USA, I misspoke on one small section of the video and don't want to mislead anyone.
No. Actually, I think it looks "cooler" the thicker that bumper plates are. However, Olympic plates are better if they are thinner if you are trying to put more weight plates on belt squat attachments or you are trying to put as many weight plates as possible on an Olympic bar, which most home gym lifters aren't going to do.
Agreed
Appreciate the early look in!
Thanks for checking in!
For those homegyms with limited space the skinny plates are amazing. Going with a shorty bar and short weight horns make moving around the rack so much more enjoyable.
We forget how many are in some tight cramped spaces. How big is your home gym?
You are the 1st to review these bumpers that I've seen. It is good that a smaller channel is getting a 1st time look and review of certain pieces of equipment instead of we all seeing a new piece of equipment being reviewed by Coop 1st and then we hear from all the other channels about the same piece but by then we already know about it so your losing views. Most people are not watching multople reviews on a piece unless they are very interested in that piece.
Y'all should go after a piece and review it first, it will raise the exposure of you and get your subs and views up, just like you did here.
Good Going
I try to review the stuff the bigger channels won't touch but few companies want to work with smaller channels, so props to weight it out for having the brass ballz to send these to me for an honest review.
Exactly our thoughts...we work with the individuals that have been a long term relationship and gave us a shot to start. We appreciate it @nofate so much! Thank you!
Love that you were able to get your hands these prototypes to test out Jonathan! Thinner bumper plates have been a long time coming, hope these catch on with the public!
Yeah I can see other companies widdling down their bumper plates size, like fringe recently did. But doubt they will get them this thin
Not sure I see the point in thin bumper plates? The whole point is to spread out the weight to protect your floors. Isn’t this just basically like dropping iron?
They are "softer" than iron and you can drop them on concrete but they offer more protection to your floor than iron and aren't as loud as iron. Plus in most cases thinner. I don't think there's a one size fits all for plates. Depends on your use case. Do you have horse stall mats on your home gym flooring?
Those look fantastic.
Yeah blue and white is a solid color combo
It almost looks like calibrated plates. Pretty cool
Yeah better accuracy than they claimed and def. thin! You might need this with how much weight you're throwing around :) You watching the rogue strongman comp?
@@NoFate247Just watching clips of it when I can.
These look elite. Great review. A thin bumper adds a heap of versatility for people that aren’t training for competition. Looks as though there was a bit of slop when you spun them on the bar though. May pay to tighten up those tolerances up if people are going to drop them hip/chest/overhead..
I didn't notice a ton of slop but I am not too particular. Probably more than my competition plates but not more than my current bumpers.
Great review, agree they hit a home run with these. I'm not so sure why everybody loves bumpers so much maybe more are into crossfit lifts than I can imagine. I have Rogue USA Olympic which are second thinnest I believe plates and wish I had gone Weight it Out since so much easier to handle. Especially now that I have Titan Squat Max MD the handles would be so nice its a total pain getting 45s off so much so I bought more 25s and only use those 10s,5s etc.
I use mine to keep the noise down when the kids are sleeping in the AM (AND WIFE). Don't want to wake the dragon. I think they are a bit easier on the floor overall as well, which is something I tend to worry about even though I'm not doing any massive drops. How hard is it to load/unload the titan squat max with the rogue plates?
That makes sense I lift around 11:30-12 noon. Congrats for hitting it hard right when you wake up! That is a good reason to have bumpers. I think the squat max weight loading pin is about 14 inches and with the Rogue thin USA's very hard to grab and lift straight up. I don't do shoulders on leg day probably should so they're already a bit sore. I put down 1lb change plates to give me ability to grab them. Now with 25s a lot easier and put the extra top plate on which allows narrower stance. Much better for calf raises too.
Curious if you plan to review the Voltra I that is one of the coolest gym pieces I've ever seen up to 200lbs and you can have higher eccentric weights. What's really cool for people like me who have rack mounted leg curl/extension is you can pull cable out to any length before resistance so could use that for weight for leg curls/extensions.
@@NoFate247
I wonder if there's actual bumper plates with handles to make picking up easier.
Probably but would be much thicker
he’s close to me too!! great dude and product!
Have you reviewed their plates yet?
@@NoFate247 hoping to one day!
Ready for you to come to gym anytime! Can't wait to work with you!
@@weightitout5500 me too bro!! spring break is my goal!!!! Need a break for all this working i’m doing 😂
These are pretty cool idea. Not crazy about the aesthetic, but love the thinness and accuracy
Rabbit dug your Facebook marketplace video. How much money did you save over buying new if you don't mind me asking
@@NoFate247about $500
Great video. I neither care about weights being exact, or have any use for bumper plates but still watched the whole thing👍
Thanks for being here!!!!! What type of plates do you use?
@@NoFate247 a mix of iron Amazon plates and a few rep old school iron plates. I weighed them all once and not a single one was exact lol. The rep plates were very close but to be honest I've never noticed the difference while lifting so I've never cared
These look sweet, love their super thin width. I was thinking of picking up a pair of WIO plates so I can keep packing by deadlift and stubby axle bar for t bar rows. Another great review Jonathan, keep crushing it-
Trying!!! Appreciate the feedback. Still need to work on a gym tour
@@NoFate247 *TWO gym tours! 😃
I like them! The aesthetics were a bit rough on the first plates WIO released, but they have steadily improved them. I had the same reality check picking up the Strengthco 100’s that are the same width as my rogue deep dish 45’s. It is trippy!
Yeah, definitely took awhile for my brain to remember two hands
🙏🙏 Thank you!!
Thanks for shipping these out for a review. Sad to return them but if I held onto them any longer I would have gone full Gluck and cut them in half
@@NoFate247 haha!!
Smart option for them considering the excessive thickness in the bumper market.
Absolutely has its place. Thanks for checking in
First!! Never thought a bumper plate can be that thin!
I kept thinking it was a 10lb bumper and reality hit when I picked it up. Do you worry about plate thickness?
@@NoFate247 not right now. Maybe in 8 years when I can get my numbers higher to that point where the thickness matters
While i like when manufacturers create new products, i can't help but think this is already done. There already are rubber coated iron plates and can come with grip holes which is much nicer in use vs a solid disc
These are thinner but plates aren't a one size fits all. People have different preferences
Those plates are thinner than my hairline 💪👴
I feel you bro...holding onto mine for dear life
We wish we had a hairline 😂
Great reviews as always. Can’t believe they were able to keep these at 450mm diameter.
Owner said they worked for 1.5 years on Developing these
Great video. Those look like cool plates. $3 per LB is a steep price.
absolutely - curious if they'll come down over time or with bulk orders
No thank you. Using other bumper plates makes me look super strong because they’re so enormous haha.
You got a point there. I just film the workout where you can't see the weight, just the expression on my face, so I let people assume I am lifting copious amounts of weight. What plates do you currently use ?
@@NoFate247 those everyday essentials from Walmart. I think at that time they were under a buck a pound. The 45s are massive though haha
you need that spreaderBar attachment for triceps pushdowns,,,
Why do you say that
@@NoFate247 what? prime RO-T8 | SpreaderBar
neat. honestly pretty reasonably priced.
For what they are and how long they will last, price seems fair although I know it'll be high for many
Those look awesome. No more plates for me tho. 😄
I have said that before.....what plates do you currently use
@@NoFate247 fringe savage bumpers. I love how they look. I will never run out sleeve space.
I’d be curious to how long these last im an actual Olympic event.
Imagine they would hold up fine but definitely be cool to see
Do they have 35 and 25 prototypes that you get to try out?
Afraid not, just the 45s. Would you want a whole set if you considered these?
Jonathan have ever tested out mark bells slingshot?
I haven't, worth trying out? I've got a buddy whose used it and seems to like it.
I don’t have one but I simulated it’s function with a band and I was as surprised how good it felt I can see it being useful.
Can’t have any fugazi 😂
Not on this channel, not now not ever!!!! Thanks for being here. How's your saturday going?
No way these don’t crack concrete under mats and damage barbells over time. The whole point of bumpers is to disperse shock from bar and floor. I don’t think these do that. I’m assuming these are steel plates with a thin rubber coating and they’re calling them bumper plates because they’re durable, but they don’t perform the same function.
I didn't cut them open so I don't know but I belive these will be fine for your concrete if you are using horsestall mats
@@NoFate247 Yeah would love to see how that works. It doesn't make sense to me that a plate that thin, that has almost no bounce, wouldn't affect floors the same way a steel plate would. Like, you have to have some more surface area on the plate hitting the floor just to avoid concentrating force at one small point. And then you need bounce to transfer some energy back to the plate instead of all into the floor and the bar. Seems like one of those "too good to be true" situations that doesn't line up with physics, and I'm assuming this company is trusting a chinese manufacturer to develop these and tell them how they perform.
Won't break concrete 😉...we have tested them in concrete and no issues at all.
How dey do dat?
No clue - But it's light years thinner than the competition. You ever consider coming over to the bumper plate dark side?
I'll buy a set just so I can remember how to spell "wieght" correctly!
😂😂😂😂😂
The problem that I see with the weight plates is that they need grip holes because weight plates with grip holes are easier to carry, load, and unload on plate-loaded exercise machines, like the SquatMax MD or plate-loaded leverage gyms.
yeah grip holes, that you see in the equalizers or six shooters are great for loading but i don't know of bumpers that'll have grip holes. What plates do you have in your home gym?
@@NoFate247 I own a lot of different kinds of weight plates, which includes Rogue deep dish Olympic plates, which I don't like, Fitness Gear, which I do like because of their grip holes, CAP plates, which are of low quality but which has grip holes, Standard barbell Olympic plates, Titan Fitness weight plates, and Gold's Gym weight plates.
I literally own several thousand pounds of weight plates because I own a lot of plate-loaded exercise machines, and I don't like unloading and loading weight plates so all of my exercise machines are kept loaded in my basement and exercise gyms. My problem is that I have too much exercise equipment so I store some of my exercise equipment in other rooms of my house and even on my backyard patio. For instance, I own a 4-wheel exercise sled that I put in a tent shed, which is on my patio.
I also own Zoomster bumper plates, which I like, Everyday Essential bumper plates, which are o.k. but nothing special, and Athletic Works bumper plates, which are o.k. but budget bumper plates that I bought from Walmart.
I also own a lot of standard weight plates with 1 inch holes, but frankly my favorite weight plates are chrome-plated standard weight plates, because they are shiny and look good even though I use them on spin-lock dumbbell handles despite the fact I already own rubber-coated hex dumbbells from 5 pounds to 100 pounds in 5 pound increments.
I just like watching myself in the mirror when I lift them because they look good, even though I own a lot of other different kinds of standard weight plates, which were a lot cheaper than my chrome-plated weight plates.
@@NoFate247 Just jumping in. Thanks for the review. I have some Rogue bumpers, but never use them, since I got away from power lifting movements. I have Ivanko 7-slotted plates and enjoy using them. Easy on & off. And I like hearing the iron. Thanks again for your Saturday reviews and all the work & time of editing.
They really look like great plates, but I really wish they’d rebrand the name. What a terrible name! Sounds so generic, for what looks to be a premium product.
The name and the lettering on the plates is just a bit goofy. Fantastic product, but even if they kept the naming, the lettering (including the upside down counterparts) looks slapped on. The pics of their iron plates look far more traditional and have the lettering on a circular path. If they’d simply mirrored that on the bumpers, it’d improve the aesthetics a fair bit.
End of day, weight is weight, and these look and sound great. Maybe the design isn’t final since they’re not actually on the market yet.
Hard to rebrand when you have a website and everything set up under weight it out. But if you make solid products your name won't matter.
@@NoFate247 Sure, but it kills me to see a good product, with a pitiful excuse for branding.
Imagine Rogue, being called, “Help U Get Big.”
😂 🤣
Maybe they’d still be a successful company, but it certainly would be despite the name.
@SuperBizalz a good name helps. But remember the Mr. Beast channel name was developed by a 14 year old with 10 followers and it's the biggest. (But that is definitely an outlier)
@djbakasan we will be working on new designs with lettering and layouts in future. First we need to make sure customers like them before moving into other designs. May have a contest to find out what we should call these. Free giveaway for who we choose!
All plates will last a lifetime, the cheap ones may lose their pretty looks but all plates last.
IMO, with all the options out there why pay the price these cost.
I can see an Olympic lifter wanting them but for 90% of home gym owners we dont need bumpers and I'll say it's crazy to pay $3/pound for any plate even if Elvis signed it.
This company is charging too much for their plates (bumper or steel) and their steel plates are not attractive and are the hardest plates to handle that I've ever used.
I'm not including you in the next part but I am so tired of paid reviews, bending the truth, and just plain lying so I'm giving an honest review on these plates right here.
The Steel ones are too hard to handle and I dont like their looks, these bumpers are okay but far too expensive and they too are hard to handle although I wouldn't be afraid of cutting myself with the bumpers like I am with the steel plates.
That's my honest, objective, and unbiased review.
What do you all think. Are they too expensive or not? Are the easy to use or hard to handle?
Give your opinion, it is needed so the companies will make the equipment we want
I agree paying $3 per lb is hard to swallow whether it's weight it out or Rogue or anyone else. I think you should get the plates that align with your "style" in what your looking for Metal/bumper, thickness, bounce, aesthetic, etc.Price should probably be the last thing you look at as they'll all last you a lifetime. What plates do you have in your home gym?
I love WIO plates for my needs. I have 2 sets of the 45 cast iron and the rest my plates are the steel plates.
I love everything about the 45's. The handles are super comfortable and easy to handle. I like that there's no correct side, so taking on/off the bar is always super easy. The fact that they take up 1/2 the space or more of standard plates is the biggest advantage. I can still go heavy on my shorty bar and utilize 6" weight horns (3 sets of 45's fit safely).
The 25's are nice and easy to handle. I wish that were they were thicker so they fit within the handles of the 45.
The rest of the steel change plates are great. The edges aren't perfectly smooth, but not anything to be concerned about. The thinness makes these plates easy to handle. I feel like I dropped standard weights more for some reason.
I honestly don't know a small business made in usa plate that can deliver on so many levels at the price point it's at. It's not for everyone, but It definitely suited my needs perfectly. When I run out of plates I'll definitely be buying another set.
@@NoFate247
Yeah, you're right, get what aligns with you,
BTW, you are one of the Good ones from what I've seen. I watch every video by 4 or 5 reviewers and yes
I even watch every video by Coop, to see the new equipment coming out but I stopped believing anything he says about 5 years ago.
I noticed it took him 10 years to include a disclaimer that "the equipment was sent free but this is gonna be an honest review."
You know what though, he has gotten a lot more honest these days after he's what you call "Made it" and his company is established and most companies want GGR to review their stuff because they are the most well known reviewer. The people who watched Coop for years, Nobody believes him anymore. Only the newcomers believe him but he usually gets the 1st review on most equipment. You, Gluck etc. should go after new stuff and put out the 1st review on it. Your subs and views will double if Yall can do that.
Tak ed Care
@@NoFate247
Oh I have old iron plates by fitness gear. Got them because of the handles. Had Standard black iron plates my whole life but wanted the handles. Never used a bumper in my life, me or guys I lift or lifted with. We lift in a renovated storage bldg behind the house
20 x 17. It's not big enough but it's all we have and we do alright
