Description
- Set Configuration: 160 lb set (Pairs of 10, 25, 45 lbs).
- Plate Type: Bumper Plates, 2″ Olympic.
- Key Features: High-density rubber for durability and a dead bounce, steel inserts, colored weight labels.
- HGM take: Yes4All’s bumper plate set is our top pick for the “Best Value” starter package. It provides the versatility and safety of bumper plates (essential for any Olympic or CrossFit-style lifting) at an unbeatable dollar-per-pound. While they have a noticeable rubber smell out of the box, they are reliable in performance and durability, and – unusually for the black bumper budget category – have some color coding. All in, this makes them the smartest buy for most beginners building their first serious home gym. We advocate the 160lb set for providing the usual suspects: a pair of 45’s, 25’s, and 10’s.
Weight plates are by far the easiest category to screw up and blow your budget. Check out our Weight Plate guide to avoid the common pitfalls.
