CAP Barbell Rubber Olympic Bumper Plate | Multiple Options/Colors

Ok, so everybody knows Cap for making very decent gym related products with very friendly pricing. picked up a set of 15’s. weighing them, they are spot on and are nice quality for home gym use. these get the job done, look good, but cannot be compared to commercial grade and you shouldnt expect them to. this kind of sounds bad but it isn’t, these plates really are great, i just dont think they would hold up to dozens of people using, dropping and abusing them all day every day in a commercial gym setting. they wont be used like that in a home gym. i almost took a star off for one reason. the plates come nicely packaged in a box with foam surrounding the vox corbers and each plate in a plastic bag. when i opened the box i was immediately hit with a strong rubber and oil smell and could see the plates were covered in an oily film through the bag. i wiped them down with paper towels and then a microfiber cloth with windex and they were still a little greasy feeling. this film will eventually evaporate out, but there is quite a noticeable smell in my garage gym. having had cap plates before this film and smell dissapates over the coming days, but i never saw so much of this oil on their plates before. just a bit of inconvenience but in the end the plates function as i would expect them. in the pic i submitted for this review i am using an adapter on the plate to fit my open trap which uses standard 1 inch plates.

Recently bought the “PRO” 45lbs plates and these are of high quality for a very low cost. Even at full price ($59 each at time of posting) these are reasonable but for the $38 paid, they are a steal. These are a nice “dead bounce” bumper plate well suited for heavy and dynamic lifting. The economy plates are usually bouncier which makes dynamic lifts a bit more hazardous with the rebound. These arrived nicely packed and good condition. There is an oily residue and smell that is typical of most bumper plates when new.

Great bumper plates, I bought the pair of (2) 55lb plates and loaded them both on my scale, and they are exactly 110lbs for both of them, I was pleasantly surprised, I was expecting a little bit of a discrepancy in weight due to the low price compared to other brands, but lo and behold the weight accuracy is spot on. The finish is smooth and soft, they did come a little oily and smelly of chemical, but I cleaned them with a kitchen napkin and let them air dry all night and that solved the problem. The hole size is 2", just right for my ritfit Olympic barbell, they are 3-5/16" thick. Great buy!

Like others stated mine arrived covered in an oil like substance and weird smell. It eventually dissipates and you can rub the oil off (most of it anyway). Excellent price, well made and the bumpers work very well. Would recommend and would buy more.

CAP makes pretty good products. They aren’t top tier by any means but they get the job done. I am not even positive which CAP weights this review was for because I have about 350 lbs of various weights between their economy and elite series weights. The economy series is nice. I like the color markings to differentiate weight easily at a glance. I’d say accuracy of weight is hit or miss. Some are spot on but the 45lb weights are actually 46.7 lbs (at least mine are). I have a multiple 45 lbs plates but a single one has developed a bit of a crack in it. I’ve only had it for 5 months so that’s not great. But the other 3 45 lbs plates are all fine. I have 2 15 lb plates and one of them developed a small almost bubble on the side. Though it’s very small and not an issue, but it’s a slight deformation. All the other economy models are fine. As for elites, I only have 2 35 and 2 25 elite models. You can tell it’s virgin rubber versus recycled rubber on the economy. It just feels denser almost. I have no deformities or cracks in the elite models. Price wise you can sometimes get elite for as cheap and in some cases cheaper than the economy so I’d go with elite. HOWEVER, the elite is all black and lacks color to differentiate them easily at a glance. Look. These aren’t Rogue Fitness. But they aren’t $3-5 a lb either. They are just as heavy to lift as other premium brands at a fraction of the cost. They’ll do for the avg lifter and they’re a great buy on a budget.

I currently own a set of CAP Competition colored plates, which have been excellent and indistinguishable from my Rogue Echo set (within 0.15” thickness). I wanted to add some more 45’s and (at the time of this review) the Pro plates are less than $1/lb. Shipping was fast w/ no damage. The 45’s ship individually and are well packed. Mine had no imperfections. For aesthetics, I love the raised lettering these have. It just looks nice and adds a little quality feel over the Economy sets. You can match these Pro plates perfectly to the Competition set, just takes a little time with a permanent white paint pen (see photos). These are now the perfect plates from a function, quality and looks standpoint.

Great quality and great value. Did have a strong smell upon opening but left out to vent until the smell was gone.

These bumper plates are exactly what I was looking for! The 45-pound plate feels solid and well-balanced, and the rubber coating really makes a difference—it protects my floor and equipment without that strong rubber smell you sometimes get with other brands. The steel hub fits my Olympic bar snugly with no wobble, and the uniform size across different weights makes loading and unloading smooth. You can tell the construction is built to last. CAP has been around forever, and it shows in the quality of this plate. Perfect for heavy lifts, garage gyms, or just adding some durability to your setup. Definitely worth it!

Slightly oily but expected and was easy to wipe off. Excellent quality

Wow, mis entrenamientos están completos, está el peso súper y la calidad y el precio si coinciden

3 out of 8 plates look like this. Not made for impact. Will not buy again.

Buenos discos, aunque la estructura se ensucia mucho, pero son geniales y cumple

Unos platos muy buenos y de buen precio, pesan lo que dicen pesar y se sienten de muy buena calidad
