Overview

Bumper plates are essential for any space where barbells will be dropped — Olympic lifting, CrossFit, or heavy deadlifts on a platform. The Rogue HG 2.0 strikes the right balance between durability and cost for training environments.

What to Buy

For a basic CrossFit home gym, a standard set (2×10, 2×15, 2×25, 2×35, 2×45 lb) covers most workouts. If you’re also doing Olympic lifting, add a pair of 10s and 15s for lighter technique work.

Dead Bounce

The HG 2.0’s rubber compound is designed for a “dead bounce” — when you drop the bar, the plates absorb impact without sending the bar flying. This is important for training safety and for protecting your floor.
