Ive been put in charge of organizing equipment for a gym being put together. It will focus on rehab but will also have a few athletes in there, cyclist, rugby, AFL players etc.
Im stuck on a bumper vs weight plate dilemma.
I can get Force USA rubber coated plates for 2.50/kg and force training bumpers for 3.50/kg.
I can also get the same deal from cyber-market with their rubber coated and their black bumpers which are pretty much garage gym bumper plates.
My first dilemma is, due to none of these steel plates coming out with tolerances listed, they could be out from 50-100g/plate, the bumpers however are 2% accuracy. Due to use dealing with rehab and athletes 1) Im not sure if the weight differences in the steel plates will be of concern, so should I just go all bumpers considering theres not much difference in price? My other issue thinking I should go with all bumpers is noise reduction, mostly for deadlifts, as bumpers will be used for any olympic lifts.
Also I will be getting once good set of bumper plates, probably colored. Most of the pro/elite bumpers all look pretty similar, ironedge, force pro, pendlay elite and the elite plates from cyber market.
Im considering going the elite plates from cyber market because theyre about $400 cheaper for a set, come with a 2 year warranty and are rated for 30,000 cycles. Im wondering if anyone has used there elite bumpers and what do you think of them? or if you had to choose which of those bumpers would you pick?
