Rogue Fitness Bumper Plate Buyer’s Guide 

I'm impressed that this picnic folding table can hold up 120kg plus weight.

I have now changed my mind on what plates to get. This review channel is always top notch. I’ve bought a lot of products cuz of u. Thanks and keep reviewing💪🏽

I like the rogue color echos. They're the perfect balance of aesthetic, price, and thinness imo

I love my US Mil Spec Bumpers, they came in last week and are VERY ACCURATE. I got 1 pair of each size and all but one 45 was .2lbs OVER. The one 45 was 44.2lbs while the other was 45lbs exactly 😳. Pretty accurate for me 🤷‍♂️✌️

I just dropped $13,000 on rogue equipment in September!! Excited but still waiting for it to ship!!

Love the Mil Spec. I like the low key black lettering rather than Rogue sprint everywhere.

Just ordered ROGUE MIL SPEC ECHO BUMPER after watching this :D, shipping is killing me though :(

order the mil spec echo weight set today! there’s free shipping, i got the 260lb set for $610 total to california 🤯

I have 530 lbs of HGs. Love them expect for their thickness. My 55s are 3.75” thick. I have a pair of 100 lb irons for heavy deadlifts if needed. I would trade all of my HGs for Echo v2s, but only because they’re narrower. I had Hi-Temps, which are even thicker but I hated how high they bounced.

Pro tip: buy echo v2’s. Paint the text with color coded paint pens. Wrap color coded electrical tape around the edge.

Fantastic video. The coloured Echo ones are actually the cheapest bumper plates on the Rogue Australia website (V1 I imagine. No fleck plates are available, except some crumb ones that are more expensive. I prefer the standard colours). HG are next most expensive, and the least expensive are the iron plates. They do look the cleanest. Colour-coding is pretty cool. I like that the lettering stands out. I like all-black, but the other options look too much like a pile of tires or something (vibes-wise. The marks and stuff). The more important thing is that the other options can have a really strong rubber-smell that can sometimes just not go away (particularly for people with sensitive smell at least). The hard virgin rubber ones seem to have hardly any smell and they air out way quicker (I also lift in a room, so it's more relevant for me). I see you left a comment where you said you haven't have any issues with smell, so that's good. I wonder why some are nauseatingly bad for months, and others are completely fine. Maybe the sun or something. 17:37 - That is a nice car

Thank you for this video! Best bumper plate review I have seen so far.

Love my Vulcan Urethane bumpers. Thin like iron, accurate within 1%, tight tolerance, durable AF, dead bounce... suuuuper loud on the drop though.

Thanks for the video!! It’s overwhelming looking at all the different options on Rogue

i love spending my time on youtube

Great review Joel! Appreciate the insight on the flooring. Went with the Hi-Temps and they are great for my needs, cost effective and made in the USA!

Makes me feel good about just having bought a set of Echo V2.

Bought 350 lbs of bumpers from diamond pro for like 480 right when lockdowns happened. Best 480 i have spent since all this price gouging

I have a couple mil spec echos and the hub tolerance to the barbell sleeve is so poor compared to any other bumper plate that I own.

Awesome video. Thanks for taking the time to go through each plate.

I've been waiting for this for a while. Great work.

Thanks for the in depth review.. I am now confident in what I want to buy.. good looking out 🤙

I've got a set of HG bumpers. They work well. I just need more Iron plates.

FYI: October 2021, i just got free shipping on a Mil Spec set. $2.5 per lbs with tax

Just bought a package deal from rouge only place where I could find weights and bar the free shipping made it cheaper then other places

Just stumbled across your channel! Thanks for the in depth review!

maybe they restock everyday..in USA. Cause in europe it is at least 3 months that i ve been waiting for those echo bumpers to restock and still waiting..

Awesome and right on time video Joel...just ordered some MIL Spec Echos. Hope the 25s come back in stock soon.

Would like to see you review the Luxiaojun E1 bumper plates. Just received mine today and they are awesome. Free shipping on sets, and mine are flawless quality. Extremely similar dimensions to the Rogue Mil spec echo. It wouldn’t surprise me if they are made by the same manufacturer.

This page needs more follows. Good content!

It's ugly out there for deals. Price per pound is really the way to compare them! Great video...

Love my mil spec echo plates so far thanks to you 🙏

Really enjoying your reviews... Any chance you could review the Rogue loadable dumbbells? Would love to know your thoughts.

In the EU store they don't have ROGUE Mil-Spec echo's but there is something called ROGUE HG 2.0 Bumper plates. Are they the same thing? Thanks!

Nice, what brand name trap bar are you using if you don’t mind me asking ?

Great comparison. Thank you for this.

i never thought about diameter. I have the baseline rogue steel plates and the 45s are 17.5 inches (445mm) but the bumpers (except the hi temp) are 450mm, why the heck they do that?

This video was great. Thx man. Enjoy the content.

Thank you for the great review! Would you recommend getting a thicker 10 & 15# plate if I plan on getting the MIL Spec Echos for the larger plates or better to stick with all the same style?

Awesome video! Can we get one for the machined/steel plates?

What type of mat are you using on the driveway? and where can I get it? -I need something more mobile than stall mats.

is the mil spec echos 2 inch plates?

I need the fleck plates 😫

Arrived in perfect condition.

No timestamps? :/

Hey Joel, Have I missed it or will you be reviewing the Griffin GR3 rack behind you? Looks great, and price sounds good, but I can't find any reviews anywhere!

Any reviews on rogue training plates?

Could I safely use my two pairs of 5/8” Eleiko J-Cups on the 1” holes 🕳 of the Griffin Power Rack behind you? Thx Joel.

I got the crumb, mil spec bumpers (45s). One was 44.4 and the other 45.2. Close enough.

for me (europe) buying them individually turned out to be cheaper than buying bundled.

For a home basement gym. Bumper plates or urethane coated plates?

No comparison with competition style bumpers like the black edition?

Which ones would you recommend to use outside of my garage directly on asphalt?

How are Lu E1 plates compared to V2?

Are you going to review the Rogue urethane bumper plates?

It's only natural for bumper plates and rogue bars to have a wear and tear/patina, right? I've had my equipment for eight months and there's some kinks, smears, and nicks on my bar and plates.

Anyone catch what make/model that blue half rack he used is? Looks like a Rogue HR-2, but they don’t make colored variants, I thought?

Question about what you said about drop pads. I got the Luxiaojun E1 rubber bumpers. My floor is Titan rubber tiles 2ftx2ft, which I think are one inch thick. They are used in Titan's platforms. Could a concrete garage floor still be damaged? Would drop pads be better than getting another pair of tiles that I could throw down (which would be cheaper, $60 vs $150)?

What are those straps called you put around the bumper plates when doing the 400 squat? I need those

Me watching this after having my Rogue HG 2.0 delivered :(

Yo bro ! What is the name of that blue squat rack ??

What are your thoughts on the griffin bumper plates?

What rack is that? Are you able send me link the black one behind you

Are the Mill spec echo bumper, Olympic plates or standard?

How tall is that squat rack from Griffin

What shirt are you wearing here the fit is fire!!

Awesome!

Do Urethane bumpers damage floors?

what do you use for your gym flooring?

Just get the IWF comp bumber plates

Any of these don't smell like a toxic tire factory?

Can i drop the echo plates 10kg??

I want to see expensive vs cheap stuff. I am in the minority that I want to pay less

wow

Hello, Can you help me please find a supplier in the US for Rouge Equipment? an Email would be great. Thank you!
