CAP Barbell 2-Inch Olympic Bumper Plate Weight Set | 100-370 lbs | Multiple Options

These are a recent purchase, so my review is based on what came out of the box. I read all of the reviews about smell and oil - so maybe I was overprepared, but I am really pleased with what I received for the price I paid.Were they oily? Yes, but there is also a valid reason for it - and it was very easy to clean off.Do they smell? Yes. I think the lower weight (10s and 15s) were the worst, but again, I expected that and it wasn't as bad as I had read.Are they precise? Probably not, but they are budget. I have not weighed them, but they feel balanced on my barbell, so I take no issue with the fact that there might be some variance.Were they in perfect condition? Almost. One of the 45s had a small dent the size of a finger tip (nothing I feel I need to return over). One of the 10s had a little bit sharper of an edge from the molding (skimmed with a blade and that was remedied). They look great, and the color coded lettering is a fun touch. They all fit properly on the barbell.Once out of the box and bag, I washed with Murphy's Oil Soap, set them outside for the day to air, washed again when they came in. The smell was greatly diminished. I did one more day of this and the smell was almost entirely gone. I have also read that sprinkling baking soda and letting it sit - or spraying/washing with a water/vinegar mix will also help.I have seen many reviews regarding the 10's and 15s being flimsy and breaking easy. They are a 1 inch thick rubber plate - at this price point, structural integrity is probably a mute point, and can be solved by not using them solo.Overall - as a starter set, I am extremely happy with what I received. If that changes over time, then I will update and edit.

Fit my 2’ barbell perfectly. Haven’t seen any bending of the plates like other reviews have shown, but they are stored indoors at a pretty consistent temperature. I don’t slam my weights, so I expect them to hold up pretty well as they aren’t showing any signs of wanting to give out on me.They do have that rubber smell and greasy feel when first opened. They still feel a little greasy after a couple weeks of use, but the smell has gone. I haven’t weighed them to check the accuracy of the weight, but they at least feel correct. I haven’t had any of the plates feel heavier than the other, so I’m still able to perform lifts without fear of muscle imbalances or any safety issues. Overall, a pretty good set of plates for the price!

Great price, great shipping, solid bumpers. They are oily and smelly at first, I just alcohol wiped, left in my balcony for 4 days or so. Now they are in my 2nd bedroom and they do not give off much smell.Worth it for the price.

This set is a great deal if you're looking to build or upgrade a home gym. I’ve been using them consistently on a foam gym floor and the quality has been excellent—no issues at all.✅ **What I liked:*** Great price for the amount of weight you get* Smooth metal inserts make loading and unloading the bar effortless* Durable construction, especially for home use* Clean, minimalist look that fits well in any setup⚠️ **Things to know:** Like other reviewers mentioned, there is a strong rubber smell out of the box. I followed someone’s advice and wiped each plate down, then washed them with soapy water outside and let them air out for a day. That helped a lot—the smell faded pretty quickly after that.Unboxing and cleaning took a bit of effort (each plate came in its own box), but honestly, it was worth it. I’d definitely buy these again.

If you’re building out a home gym and don’t care about flashy branding or fancy finishes, these CAP Barbell plates are hands-down the best bang for your buck. I’ve loaded up on a bunch of 10s so I can scale weight gradually, and it’s been the perfect setup for progressive overload without blowing my budget.They’re exactly what you want in a plate: durable, accurate in weight, and built to last. No wobble, no weird coating smells, no cosmetic nonsense—just solid iron that does the job. The center holes fit snugly on a standard Olympic bar, and they’ve held up great through all kinds of workouts—everything from deadlifts to rows to landmine work.I like having more 10s because it gives me flexibility in loading, especially for accessory work or when I’m working with clients who need smaller jumps. It’s way more versatile than just stacking 45s and calling it a day.At this price point, you really can’t beat it. Whether you’re outfitting a full garage gym or just adding to your current setup, these are a smart investment. No ego-lifting—just real training.Btw the rest of my plates are Rogue and other than looking cool, I can’t figure out why I paid so much for those
