Hey everyone,
second question on this topic of building a new home gym. I've used traditional iron plates for years now but am looking to get more into explosive movements my older now sold home gym equipment wouldn't allow for (i.e cleans, jerks, dead-lifts, presses). Irons never held me back but due to my setup the more Olympic style lifts were not possible safely or functionally within the constraints of the setup.
That being said I would like high quality but maybe not the best or most expensive, unless there are big pros, plates that allow for 500+# lifts.
Currently looking at plates like: Rogue Comp bumpers, Rogue Urethane bumpers, Rep Fitness Comp Bumpers, Titan Urethane Bumpers or Rogue calibrated iron plates and similar plates.
Usage: Plates will be used across multiple exercises/lifts with bars at the Rogue Ohio Bar/Olympic bar quality level.
Based on your experience and ideally home gym setups, do you recommend bumpers or traditional iron plates? I've herd good arguments both ways, curious on the pulse of the group, thank you!
