Why choose our multicoloured 5 kg bumper plates?
Bumper plates are essential for anyone who wants to train safely. Unlike standard plates, they absorb impacts when dropped and protect your floors, your equipment and your body.

Bumper plates let you:
-
Train explosive strength without risk to your equipment,

Work in drop mode (releasing the bar after a movement),
-
Absorb impacts and protect your floors,
-
Train more intensively in complete safety.
They are ideal for dynamic movements such as the snatch, the clean and jerk, deadlifts or thrusters.
