The guide to choosing and buying bumper discs from crossfit

Cheap bumper discs are one of the most fundamental pieces of equipment in any gym home or commercial fitness facility. Whether you are buying your first set of bumpers or looking to upgrade, this section will present the options for you to make the right choice. As there are many price and quality levels on the market, it can be difficult to decide which is the most appropriate crossfit disc bumper to purchase.

With so many offers on the market today, it is easy to fall for a low price and buy cheap bumper disks from an unreliable supplier, leading to disappointment.

how are bumper discs made?

Special bumper discs, by definition, are constructed of thick, durable rubber and allow for the loading and dropping of weights during Olympic lifts and compound exercises. They are chosen over steel discs because they allow loaded bars to fall safely to the floor without causing damage to gym or the facility. Bumpers are almost always more expensive, however, they are necessary for any CrossFit or Olympic aerial lifting, while the steel discs are sufficient for very basic barbell training. Another major factor in the popularity of the rubber bumper discs is noise; the steel Olympic discs are extremely noisy in use, but the rubber bumper discs greatly reduce this problem.

Key things to consider when purchasing rubber bumper discs crossfit

• Training requirements: are you training for fitness, for powerlifting or for weightlifting? Typically a bumper is best suited for crossfit or functional training and for weightlifting. On powerlifting, lifters usually prefer Olympic discs made of regular rubber, polyurethane or even steel.

• Durability: will you use bumper discs for a gym home or for your fitness commercial facility where they will get heavy use?

• Budget: The bumper discs can vary greatly in quality and price; you have everything from basic rubber bumpers to competition standards.

• Materials: Virgin rubber will offer a denser, thinner disc with less bounce, while recycled rubber bumpers are cheaper but softer and bounce more.

• Brand: Do your homework and do your research on the best brands for rebound discs, as there are many budget options but you want to make a statement and get long lasting performance. You have Eleiko, ATX, Maniak, Sveltus, Mets Fitness...

Bumper discs from virgin rubber

This is the most basic weightlifting bumper. The bumper discs crossfit of virgin rubber are very durable and are designed to survive the demands of any gym environment. The virgin bumper is dense, which provides lower bounce. It prevents excessive bounce when dropped on the ground. This is a great everyday disc that is sure to last, with a well constructed co-molded ring to prevent cracking (something that happens with many other discs). The virgin bumper rubber is also vulcanized, which helps strengthen the disc and make it very durable.

The smoother, thinner profile of the virgin rubber bumper allows for better mobility when using the discs by gym, and also better utilizes the space available for the discs on the bar for heavier lifts. We find that bumpers virgins are very popular with people buying material for their gym home, studio or wholesale for their new installations, being at the most competitive price point.

Bumpers rubber bumper discs granulated or recycled rubber

The key difference between virgin rubber bumpers and granulated rubber bumpers is that the latter are made from recycled rubber, which historically were not the most durable bumpers available. In the design of the more currentgranulated rubber disc bumpers, the rubber blend has been reformulated to create a different style of granulated bumper. Now colored specks are added so that the rubber shows the Olympic color on the discs, making it easier to identify which bumper discs are being lifted, something very useful when the gym environment is busy. The big improvement comes in the durability of the rubber, which along with the strong co-molded rings make the granulated bumper disc very durable. Granulated rubber bumpers undergo some of the most rigorous testing in the industry, with test discs being dropped thousands of times before passing quality standards. The rebound is even softer on the granulated discs, making them the ideal for those who have noise issues near their home or facility, as this bumper will absorb impact very well.

They are priced slightly higher than virgin rubber bumpers, but these bumper discs are perfect for gyms homes, gyms commercial and installations looking for adurable bumper with a softer, quieter rebound.

The rubber is extremely dense and gives a very dead bounce, which is what you should expect when lifting especially heavy weights. Using a three-piece co-molded ring, the steel is supported on each side of the disc, which means the bumper will not crack or split. The steel discs are secured with bolts in one piece, so additional reinforcement is added in the center of the disc, and the bolts will not loosen over time. Since the training bumpers are black, they incorporate raised lettering to indicate the weight of the disc. This is a common feature on bumpers of any range.
