CAP Barbell 2-Inch Olympic Bumper Plate Weight Set | 100-370 lbs | Multiple Options

If you’re building out a home gym and don’t care about flashy branding or fancy finishes, these CAP Barbell plates are hands-down the best bang for your buck. I’ve loaded up on a bunch of 10s so I can scale weight gradually, and it’s been the perfect setup for progressive overload without blowing my budget.They’re exactly what you want in a plate: durable, accurate in weight, and built to last. No wobble, no weird coating smells, no cosmetic nonsense—just solid iron that does the job. The center holes fit snugly on a standard Olympic bar, and they’ve held up great through all kinds of workouts—everything from deadlifts to rows to landmine work.I like having more 10s because it gives me flexibility in loading, especially for accessory work or when I’m working with clients who need smaller jumps. It’s way more versatile than just stacking 45s and calling it a day.At this price point, you really can’t beat it. Whether you’re outfitting a full garage gym or just adding to your current setup, these are a smart investment. No ego-lifting—just real training.Btw the rest of my plates are Rogue and other than looking cool, I can’t figure out why I paid so much for those

The weights came in several different boxes that UPS left at the end of our drive. I got a workout just carrying the weights to the house. Like most people have said, the weights come oily and have a smell to them, but I let them air out in the garage and they are just fine. The price is right for this much weight.

Solid construction, smooth feel. A little easy to scuff up. Great addition to the home gym at a good price. They do come in an oil of some sort you will want to clean off and air out. I’m assuming it’s to preserve the rubber material in warehouse storage. Scent does go away. Functional and right on weight.

I picked up a set of CAP bumper plates for my starter home gym, and overall, they’ve been a great choice—especially if you’re on a budget. These are probably the cheapest decent plates I could find that aren’t the "Signature Fitness" brand, which was a big selling point for me as I’m just getting my setup off the ground. For the price, they deliver everything I need to kickstart my home gym routine.Out of the box, I’ll be honest—they arrived pretty greasy and oily, which might turn some people off. It seems like they’re coated with some kind of protective film from the factory, and while it’s a bit of a hassle to wipe down, it didn’t bother me too much. A quick scrub with a rag and some elbow grease got them ready to go, and once that was done, they’ve been perfectly functional. I also noticed some of the plates had minor damage—like small nicks or scuffs—but nothing significant enough to warrant a return. You get what you pay for, and at this price point, a few cosmetic imperfections aren’t a dealbreaker for me.For a beginner like me, these plates are spot-on. They’re durable enough for standard lifts and drops (I’ve got them on horse stall mat setup), and the rubber coating keeps the noise and floor damage to a minimum. They’re not fancy or high-end, but they don’t need to be—at this price, you’re getting solid, no-frills bumper plates that work for deadlifts, squats, or whatever else you’re throwing at them. Weights are weights, and these do the job just fine.If you’re building a starter gym and don’t want to spend a fortune, CAP bumper plates are a fantastic option. Just be prepared for a little cleanup when they arrive and don’t expect perfection with the finish. For the cost and performance, I’d say they’re a win—perfect for anyone easing into home lifting without breaking the bank!

Great value product. Weighs exactly as listed. Boxes wreak of cigarette smoke. Weights were not very oily. Didn’t even have to wipe them down. After three days in garage the weights smell like new tires. Slowly going away. No complaints.

These weight plates are perfect for what they accomplish. Yes they had shipping oil on them when they arrived. I washed them with Dawn and dried them. They had a rubber smell for a few days. Not a big deal. I read reviews complaining about oil and smell. IMO those reviewers were exaggerating.I bought the plates for a leg extension/curl machine. The thicknesses are ideal for space saving. The ruberrized coating is nice for noise control.These were a great purchase and for the price , unbeatable.

I’m a little disappointed in these. I realize these are a budget set and not necessarily top tier quality, but the collars are already coming loose on the set of 25’s after just 3 Olympic lifting workouts. I’m not dropping these from overhead, just from waist height or shoulder height (i.e. front rack position). I’m not going to go through the hassle of returning them. Going to try some sort of industrial strength adhesive and see if that helps. The whole point of bumper plates is to be able to drop them and while I would expect the collars to work loose over time, I would not have expected that to happen after just 3 workouts. So I recommend them with reservations. If you’re not someone who drops the barbell, these should be just fine. But if you’re someone who’s used to CrossFit style workouts and dropping the barbell often, then these may not be ideal. At the very least I’d say these probably shouldn’t be dropped from more than waist height. That’s been my experience anyway.

Great deal but they smell horrible, I mean keeping fresh car tires inside the house would smell less. They are the cheapest per lb but maybe get another brand if you want to avoid a gallon of oil smeared all over them getting your house dirty oily and a weird rubber smell. I wiped them down twice but every dang time i grab a weight to add to the bar my hands are covered in a slimly oil.Even if I drag them into the bathtub and scrub them down with dawn im betting itll still leak oil and have the rubber smell. Its like they wanted to protect the plastic cover by drenching it in oil so the plastic shell doesnt degrade.
