Bars & Plates: common questions
What is the difference between bumper plates and iron plates?
Bumper plates are rubber-coated and all the same diameter, so they can be dropped on a platform. Iron plates are thinner and cost less per pound.
Which barbell size do I need?
Check the sleeve diameter. Olympic bars and plates use a 2 inch opening, standard bars use 1 inch.
