So where in everyone's opinion is the best deal for bumper plates this side of the water?
Been looking and there still seems to be very few places to get them - York is the only place I can think of to be honest (where I got my current bumper grip plates).

Anyone else found a decent deal recently?

I got a deal thru world of health and leisure as an affiliate-15% off (which is actually quite a lot) deffo worth asking though-neil foley of CF scotland arranged the deal.

yeah - I've got a few things from them.
did you got for the full-on bumpers?
what sort of deal did you get on them?

I have the 10's and 15's of the bumper grip plates but the paint is already flaking off the 15's.

My bumper grip plates are the same, the paint started chipping off almost as soon as I got them. If I had the money I would get the proper ones, luckily I managed to get a really old pair of Eileko 20kg bumpers from the gym in the YMCA I used to work in

Velly nice.
I can understand why you would have got a discount on that then.
Not sure I'll get much discount on a pair of 10's.

I'm bringing in Hi-temp wide black bumpers from the states. Due to arrive here 30th September, 08.

They're not cheap, but will last you a lifetime. They are the best solid rubber bumpers available, anywhere.
As used by most of the Crossfit Affiliates in the US
Will bounce and not destroy your floors or equipment. Quiet.
Steel internal collar, provides a tight fit on 2” Olympic bars

Oh yeah, the wide plates make you look heroic! :-)


Contact me for a price list at brian@strengthpowerspeed.co.uk

We'll be doing an affiliate rate for CF affiliates, and the opportunity to resell kit without having to invest in holding stock. Easy money.

Brian,
How do they compare to the Jordans and York bumpers available in the UK (Price and quality)?
