I have a 260 lb set of high temp bumpers (10,15,25,35,45) a rogue bar and squat stand on concrete garage. Everything is going peachy!
I am 42, 5-10 on linear progression and getting up to 265 on squats and deadlifts.
I think I need more plates, which type should i get?
Option 1) another set of 45 high temps. These are really nice plates but this would be maxing out the bar.
Option 2) Get some 45 steels, maybe rogue shooter or deep dishes.
I assume this would mean i would need some stall mats maybe a lifting platform? this is kinda a pain in the butt due to high temp plates being different size and the mats being a bit of a tripping hazard when walking around garage.
Option 3) sell or trade my high temps for some other type of bumper that is thinner? I live in london ontario canada and plates seem to be quite rare these days up here. not sure if trading is possible.
What would you do?
