Re: Dumb Bar Question
This is by no means a recommendation, but I know some gyms continue to use Hi-Temp 10s after the insert comes out. It is very thin metal, so it usually just means the plate does not sit as...

Re: Bumpers and regular plates
Is it "OK" - yes. Are you going to put more stress on the bumpers - definitely. Matt's general rule is a pretty solid one, especially with 45s on the bar. With lower weights (10/15/25), you want to...

Re: Need an Equipment package for home
For home use, you should not see any deterioration in the bumpers for SEVERAL years (as long as they are decent quality - Hi-Temp, VTX, etc) regardless of whether you have a mat. I would agree that...

Re: Quality kettlebells on a budget
That's correct!
We recommend the OFW 'bells over the MD 'bells. They are well worth the price.

Re: Bumper plate help.
45# bumper plates are back in stock in our Austin warehouse.
As for 10# bumpers vs. 15#- all else equal go with 15#s for more durability. Depending upon your use your mileage may vary.

Re: cannot slide plates onto the bar easily

Any idea of the brand of bar? And the plates? If they go on one side and not the other, seems the bar is the problem rather than the plates (although it could be a plate issue, just far less...
