Bumper plates come in a few standard sizes, and are generally sold in pounds or kilograms. Troy VTX economy bumpers are sold by the pound. Here is a chart with rough pound and kilogram weights:
| Bumper Weight | Best Weight For: |
|---|---|
| 10 lbs ~ 5 kg | Great for teaching or learning Olympic lifts |
| 15 lbs ~ 7 kg | Same uses as the 10s, but this offers greater durability at only a slightly heavier weight |
| 25 lbs ~ 11 kg | A very popular weight as they are very durable and throwing these on an Oly bar gives you 95 pounds (Fran Rx) |
| 35 lbs ~ 16 kg | A great size for adding more weight on the bar |
| 45 lbs ~ 20 kg | The most popular size for gyms - 45's really let you load up your bar and make some serious strength gains |
A bumper plate is a weight plate for Olympic bars that is made almost entirely of rubber (with a steel or brass collar in the middle that accepts an Olympic bar).
The "end state" of the Olympic lifts is overhead or at the shoulder. Many lifters drop the weights from overhead. Since bumper plates are almost entirely rubber, being dumped from the shoulder or overhead will not damage the weights, bar, floor, bystanders, the lifter, etc...
Bumper plates are also great for garage gym use- the rubber construction is much quieter than traditional metal construction.
