5kg Bumper Plate Recommendation

[Jared Nessland]

Hey guys,

Can anyone recommend good 5kg bumper plates? We have the Ueasaka Competition bumper plates, but they are starting to break and they no longer make them. Trying to find good ones that will hold up (college weight room). Thanks, Jared

Unfortunately, if 5 kg plates hit the ground hard, they will all eventually break. The Hi-Tech plates are an option and have held up pretty well in the gym in which I train. They are pricey and really loud if dropped. They break after enough aerial abandonment, too, but they are pretty tough.
