While they may seem similar at first glance, bumper plate sets are slightly different to rubber weight plates. Their difference lies in their design and use.
While weight plates are designed for general strength training, bodybuilding, and fitness workouts, bumper weight plates are designed for functional fitness, Olympic weightlifting exercises, and compound exercises. Bumper plates are also typically made from a combination of rubber or urethane and metal, rather than just rubber. A thick rubber coating allows bumper plates to be dropped safely from overhead, reducing plate, barbell, and floor damage.
Available in 5kg, 10kg, 15kg, 20kg, and 25kg weights, Olympic bumper plates and sets are generally colour coded to indicate their weight, for easier identification during workouts. They are commonly used in CrossFit, weightlifting, and in other high-impact training programs that require athletes to frequently drop the barbell from overhead positions. Unlike bumper plates, rubber weight plates are not intended to be dropped from heights.
