ABC are working on affordable bumper plates. These are a step up from the chinese ones on sale and sit beneath their calibrated ones.
Wayne realizes that not everyone can afford nor needs calibrated bumpers, but they still want a higher quality than the chinese ones on offer.
He has given me the first pair to test out at PTC. He really wants us to put them through the ringer, just to make sure they dont fall apart. They "look" identical to their calibrated bumpers, only they will only be available in black.
He also gave me a trap bar with elevated handles which will further take load off the lower back. Hawthorn Football Club ordered one this way, he gave me one to try out and see what I think.
I know DeFrancos in the States use them extensively, we'll give them a go and see what we think.
I know Westside are huge on using specialty bars, I may have to get some more different bars, like the Safety Squat bar etc.
I'll keep you guys posted on the bumpers. At this point, Wayne doesnt have pricing.
