PERFORMANCE RUBBER BUMPER PLATES

FAQ

• What is the overall construction of the Performance Rubber Bumper Plate?
  ZIVA Performance Rubber Bumper Plates are made with a solid steel plate at their core. This precision weighted plate is encased in a tough virgin rubber shell that is incredibly resilient and is made such that it protects the plate within - and, to some extent, its surroundings - even if it is dropped from a height.
  
• Why use these weight plates versus any other weight plates?
  While ZIVA's Performance Rubber Bumper Plates can be used in much the same way as any other weight disc - to add resistance to bench press, squat, deadlift, or any other barbell-based exercise - its true advantage is seen when used for more technical, more explosive exercises like cleans, jerks, Crossfit, and Olympic Weight Lifting. As such, if your gym aims to attract clients who appreciate these sorts of exercises, we suggest adding Performance Rubber Bumper Plates to your gym's equipment.
  
• How can one plan how many Performance Rubber Bumper Plates to get for a gym?
  Performance Rubber Bumper Plates can be used for any barbell exercise, but their usefulness really shines through for explosive exercises and Olympic Weight Lifting. If your fitness facility includes space for barbell exercises, we suggest keeping at least 1x (one) complete set (2x each of 10 lbs. & 25 - 55 lbs.) of these bumper plates on hand for every 2x (two) barbells to complement whatever other weight disc sets you may have. If your gym has clients who enjoy moving heavy weights, we suggest having 2x (two) sets on hand for every 2x (two) barbells.
  
• In which part of the gym do Performance Rubber Bumper Plates make sense?
  We suggest adding Performance Rubber Bumper Plates to your gym's section dedicated to barbell exercises. It makes sense to have at least 1x (one) complete set (2x each of 10 lbs. & 25 - 55 lbs.) of these weight discs on hand, but if you have multiple deadlifting platforms and attract or want to attract clients that like to lift heavy and enjoy explosive lifts and Olympic Lifting, you may want more.
  
• What ZIVA storage options are made to go with Performance Rubber Bumper Plates?
  There are several! The best part about choosing one of our storage options is that you know it will match with the design language and aesthetic of the weight plates, so your gym will enjoy an overall more cohesive and higher class look.
