- Bounce Deadening & Efficient: These Competition Bumper Plates are made with Shore A Durometer rating of 94 which delivers a consistent deadening of a bounce even on heavy high drops, which also results in a lesser force exerted on the barbell. The less bounce meaning barbell, collar & the center disc are less prone to heavy impacts which increases the life of your equipment. Also, the less bounce assures you the more predictable bar travel when the weight dropped, which makes you practice safely even in a small place like a home gym.

These Competition Bumper Plates comes with a chrome-plated steel disc insert which consists of two sections that are bolted together with stainless steel bolts for securing the rubber from impacts, and also these steel discs are meant to concentrate the weight by which the thickness of the plates reduces.
- Thinner Profile: One of the most important factors for which the weightlifting athletes are attracted towards Competition Bumper Plates over Standard Bumper Plates is due to increased weight loading capacity. Generally, the Standard Bumper Plates can at most be loaded with 200kg Plates on a Standard Olympic Bar elsewhere Competition Bumper Plates can be loaded with 280kg due to its thin-plate profile, meaning your progression won’t stop at certain kgs.

What is Shore A Durometer?
The Shore A Durometer rating is a measure of the hardness of a material. It ranges with a scale between 1-100 & generally, the bumper plates are rated above 65.
Higher Rating specify:
- The Rubber is Harder & tends to bounce lesswhile, Strongly resistant to indentation.
- Also, hard rubber is more durable and stiffer-which can have a dead bounce and better supports a barbell. Hence, our Premium Competition Bumper Plate has an optimal durometer of 94.
Lower Rating Specify:
- The Rubber is soft & tends to bounce more while less resistant to indentation.
- Though this soft rubber is good at absorbing impact, again, its durability becomes a concern.
Note: if you go owith too hard rubber, it can be noisy, and worse-hard rubber can crack. Likewise, going with too soft rubber again becomes the wrong choice.
Conclusion: The Bumper Plates with a durometer ranging 85-95 is ideally the best choice for you.
