Bumper Buying Guide

Suppose you're an avid fit-for-lifer, everyday lifter, or corporate athlete that recognises the benefits of incorporating barbell work into your regime. In that case, you will understand how crucial it is to have suitable bumper plates to meet your training needs. Perhaps it's ease, versatility in loading, preparing, and moving that bar you are interested in, or the assurance that it's robust enough to withstand when that bar is dropped from overhead.

You have guaranteed quality with Primal's durable bumper plates.

Urethane Competition Bumpers

The Primal Strength Urethane Bumper Plates are our highest quality Olympic bumper plates. They have a machined-steel core and every disc is calibrated and tolerance tested to under 5g. The premium Urethane finish ensures the discs are extremely hard-wearing with no bounce. They will not scratch, discolour or break and are perfect for Olympic lifting.

Competition Colour Bumpers

Our Competition Coloured Bumpers have been designed with elite-level weightlifting and high performance in mind. These bumpers feature a raised lip around the edges for ease of lifting and transporting. These bumpers also use a calibrated steel three-piece centre with lock bolts, making these bumpers ideal for Olympic lifts.

Monster Bumpers

The Primal Strength Monster Bumper Plates are aesthetically superb and will add to the look of any premium gym or sports facility. They have IWF 450mm diameters as standard and are tolerance tested to under 2% of the displayed weight.

Coloured Rubber Bumpers

The Pro Series Coloured Rubber Bumper Plates are our bestselling Olympic disc. The bumpers are aesthetically superb and will add to the look of any premium gym or sports facility. They have IWF 450mm diameters as standard and are tolerance tested to under 2% of the displayed weight.

Hi-Temp Grain Bumpers

The Primal Strength Hi-Temp Grain Bumper Plates are our most popular bumper plates for functional fitness gyms. The grain bumpers have Olympic colour coded flecks and look superb in any gym. The bumpers are 450mm diameter and they are tolerance tested to under 2% of displayed weight. The lower durometer achieved from using grain rubber allows the bumper to have a higher bounce and the plates to be repeatedly dropped from overhead, whilst protecting the Olympic bar and flooring.

Black Bumpers

 

From our essentials range the Primal Strength Black Bumper Plate is made from hard wearing, durable virgin rubber and built to last.

The Brushed-steel, enclosed, rounded-centre 50mm holes means sliding on and off bars without damage as easy as it should be, allowing mobility in smaller spaces.
