Picked up the 140kg Competition Bumper Plate Set locally in Charlotte. It's about a 30 minute drive for me, but they give 15% off for local pick up so the savings were worth the drive for me. Let me say first off that all the people at Vulcan know their stuff and it shows. It was refreshing to talk to people who actually designed the plates and use them! Rather than someone just reading specs off a sheet. They were super nice and made everything really easy. I ordered over the phone in the morning and my order was read for pick up by lunch time! They carried it all out to my truck which was super thoughtful considering I wasn't dressed for lifting just coming from work, lol. When I got the plates home later that night I was beyond impressed with the quality. The rubber is super nice and the way the steel discs sit deep into the rubber really makes a difference when lifting. They just feel so much tighter and balanced than my other bumper plate set which is a Rogue/Pendlay training style set. I have been lifting competitively for about 5 years now so I feel like I have seen my share of comp bumpers and I rate Vulcan among the best I have used. We are planning on having a USAW sanctioned event at our gym and we will be using the Vulcan plates. They met all of the USAW specs in weight and dimensions. Looking forward to using these for several years!
