This kind of research sets you miles apart from the competition. Very impressed that you did this.

One of the best reviews I've seen of fitness equipment. The effort to really find out the facts is hugely appreciated.

I have to say, I bought a full set of the Everyday Essential plates (before seeing this video) knowing they wouldn't be top quality or anything, but I factored in a couple of things - 1.) I don't run a gym and they'll be used only a few times per week, 2.) I don't plan on slamming them into the ground repeatedly with Olympic lifts - I mostly bought bumpers rather than iron simply in case they wound up being dropped in my garage accidentally, and 3.) they averaged out to less than $1/lb shipped. I checked them and they're accurate enough and they've been performing fine. They also didn't smell when I unboxed them... Still, this is an awesome video, super thorough - just thought for anyone else watching and reading who can only afford the EE's that they're probably fine for most basic purposes.

I actually appreciate this. I still use the gym for the pool and sauna and stuff and for the heavier lifting, but i am in the market for a couple plates to do a little minor amount of exercising with my bar. Just something to put on em.

Ordered the same plates on Walmart with 260 lbs for $260 and haven't had much trouble. They off-gassed about 2 months after my purchase. The yellow has some color issues but otherwise they work fine. However, I am looking to upgrade to Fringe Black/Contrast or REP Bumper Plates.

Urethane bumper plates last a very long time. I invested in a set about 9 years ago and they have stood the test of time. Worth every penny.

I am glad I came across this review. You just gained another subscriber. The content in this video is f*&^ing awesome. I have been researching bumper plates as I am in the process of switching from steel plates to bumpers for my home gym and your information is extremely helpful. NO one has a review like this! I appreciate your time, effort, dedication and honesty.

My favourite part of this video is you put the “please subscribe” stuff 20 minutes into it. Smart all around. Those are the people you would want subscribing; you aren’t just doing the KZread bs that everyone else does; and it just works… good job

Hugely underrated video. Got my like and subscribe. Hard work putting this together, good job!

I ended up picking up a bunch of Giant plates during the start of the pandemic and they're still going strong. That said, I was relieved to see that they landed in a good spot for their class. Giant really did do a great job of keeping stock during the pandemic and that's something that I won't forget.

Thank you so much for this. I've been eying the possibility to have a home gym and seing how ridiculously expensive gym equipment is, I can appreciate you taking not only the time, but also losing some money for us, the consumer, by doing this kind of review. Because of your content I now have more confidence in what products will suite my need and where to put my money. Keep it up!

You have 49K subscribers right now. I'm sure you'll reach 100K soon!

One of the best equipment reviews I’ve ever watched. I gained a lot of knowledge from this video and as usual Gluck’s sense of humor and quips keep it entertaining.

Ok, you kicked ass. And for that you got a new subscriber. Thats alot to deal with and its highly appreciated. Tell your wife a physical Therapy clinic in Florida appreciated your review on these bumper plates. Now i can make a intelligent decision for me and my patients. 💯

Outstanding Review! EXACTLY what I've been looking for!

We are going to need you to cut literally everything you review in half from now on. Barbells, dumbbells, tricep ropes, and full jugs of protein powder included . You just never know what could be in there!

More of this please, the scientific approach is awesome!

This video needed to be made. Outstanding!

Killer video, love the details interspersed with humor!

Dude absolutely awesome work.

Fantastic content and explanation! Thank you so much for your Efforts!

Thank you, very useful info, and it came in clutch for Black Friday

Thanks so much! As a proud owner of Everyday Essentials bumpers, I might be in the "weight is weight" camp. Mine are a bit different than the ones you had. I bought them in part because I couldn't find useful reviews distinguishing them from others. I was also looking at REP crumb rubber, but fortunately, found comments about the smell. My rig is inside, and my partner does not love the rubber stink. Had I known that, as you show here, others might smell less than the bumpers I got, I'd probably have gone that direction instead! This is one of the most useful fitness equipment reviews I've seen.

Dang, I was hoping to see Sorinex. But great video regardless! Really fascinating, thanks for doing all this man. :)

I have Giant Lifting plates from early in the pandemic and a more recent purchase. Their quality control has gotten a ton better. You really can’t beat the price and their customer service is awesome. I dream about taking a truck to Washington to load up on stuff but then I realize the gas would be the same as if I just paid for shipping. Hahaha.

This was a great video. I'm having Clarksville Barbell Club branded competition style bumpers manufactured in China for the gym we are opening next year, and now I am going to have to cut a set of them in half. 😅 Thanks!

I have a set of the home grown plates. They have been actively used by 2 people for the past 2 years with zero issues. Insanely good pricing as well!

Given the two for absolute budget picks, would you go with everyday essentials or home grown? Thanks for the video! So helpful!

Cut rubber coated dumbells. Brilliant video, very enlightening.

Just dropping in to say Fringe is doing a sale on their contrast bumpers... And this review resulted in me getting a set. 👍

I'm a huge BOS fan. They're stuff is moderately cheap in price but industrial strength.

I'm interested to see how well their sandbag is going to hold up once I start throwing it around.

Thanks for making this video! Just subscribed. After picking up a set of Everyday essentials, I realize that tolerances for weight weren't too bad. 45lbs were off by less than .5lbs. What I didn't appreciate is that the "2 inch" openings, seem slightly larger and that leaves some jiggling on my Rogue bar (I would assume Rogue's specs are tighter to industry standards). Do you have a video guide on economical bumper plates for home gym that covers powerlifting specs like plate diameter as well as points out which bumper plates fit oly bars the best? For the rest of my 45 lbs bumpers I'd like to get plates that will fit better on the bar for deadlift purposes.

I respect your commitment to the gains 💪🏾

The dedication is unreal

This is an amazing review when considering the quality overtime! Especially for used bumpers, just points out what to be looking for. It really takes out a lot of the guessing work.

Very Interesting

Very useful review and cutting the plates in half - while I’m sure it was a PITA - really helped demonstrate the differences. I love my Fringe bumpers, but it was difficult navigating all the different types of bumper plates before settling on those. Congrats on a great video.

Aside Eleiko, Uesaka and ZKC there's also Klokov and some other cheaper lifter branded plates and some other a bit cheaper options. However I kinda don't see the point of going for competition plates if you don't buy the stuff you're gonna compete with (those expensive ones like Eleiko, Uesaka and ZKC). But Eleiko does have practice plates as well if I'm not mistaken, which are obviously cheaper than the competition plates.

Oh my god I can’t believe you cut all these for us. 🔥 thank you!

New subscriber :) Q. Which plates would people suggest for outdoor year round use on a squat rack… no dropping required but will be exposed to rain and sunshine. as you say everyone seems to suggest crumb, but urethane is a much more climatically resilient material so might those actually be the better bet? The central steel core is encapsulated anyway. welcome thoughts !

Nice, the best 👍🙂

Excellent review, thank you for doing it! What’s your pick for a garage gym, just a single person using them, more or less CrossFit style training on 3/4” rubber stall mats? I do take them outside for farmer carries, but am not slamming them around on pavement. I purchased unbranded virgin rubber bumpers from a local gym supplier 12 years ago and just now started having issues with them. Would love to get 10-15 years from the next set.
