Discos de Bumper Hi-Temp

Been using these for about six months of deadlifts and cleans, and the bounce is dead consistent—no wild ricochets off the platform. The 5 lb pairs are handy for warm-up sets, though they feel almost too light once you're past the bar.

Dropped a 45lb pair from shoulder height on day one and they barely bounced — the dense rubber feels properly dead. Love that each plate comes as a pair too, makes loading the bar straightforward.

The seam around the edge is completely flush after months of heavy use, and the rubber smell faded within a week. They load smoothly on the bar and the 45s are exactly the right diameter for deadlifts, which was my main worry before buying.
