Need help buying bumper plates

[Aha]

What do you plan to use them for, Olympic lifts or just to make your deadlifts less loud? That would determine how many you would need and what kind.

Deadlifts less loud (not doing any O-lifts)

Are you one of those guys with downstairs neighbors, or is your floor on a slab?

A thread was posted a couple weeks ago. I got the MDUSA Euro Econ Bumpers 25kg for $105 shipped to my door. That's less than $1/lb.. Shipped.

Get these...they're fine unless you're going to be regularly pulling over 485. The price is ridiculously good.

I need more than a pair of 25kg's, though.

Good fucking luck.

I assume you've already told them you'll be making noise a couple of times a week, and possibly shaking their place a bit?

Personally, ive given up on the idea of deadlifting at home.

Yeah, I can't imagine how bumper plates would help with anything. Watch enough form videos where the phone/camera is sitting on the floor, and it doesn't matter if the lifter is on a platform or using bumper plates, the camera always shifts. Your neighbors will know you're doing something awful upstairs.

Then buy 2. Or 3. Or even 4 sets of 25kgs. Then buy a pairs of 20kg & 10kg and change plates. No need, really, for 15s.

When I wanted bumpers I got the rogue calibrated training bumpers, a set of 55s and 35s worked well as I was working my way up to a 2plate dl at that point.

Anybody got a promo code for the MDUSA econ bumpers?
