Bumper Packages

Why Choose a Bumper Package?

Bumper packages eliminate the guesswork of building a plate collection. Each package is configured with pairs of plates that cover the most common training loads, from technique work with lighter weights to heavy sets with 20kg+ plates. Buying packages also provides better value than purchasing plates individually.

Perfect for:

• New gym setups requiring a complete bumper plate collection

• Olympic lifting and CrossFit-style training

• Home gyms prioritising versatility and value

• Commercial gyms expanding plate inventory

At Little Bloke Fitness we offer bumper plate packages for various levels of bumpers, from crumb rubber bumper plates to commercial virgin rubber PRO HG training bumper plates and calibrated competition bumpers, allowing you to choose the right option for your training environment.

Bumper Package FAQs

What's the difference between a bumper package and buying individual plates?

A bumper plate set gives you a balanced selection of weights in one purchase, typically at a discounted price compared to buying each pair separately. It simplifies the buying process and ensures you have a practical spread of weights to start training.

What package size do I need for home gym use?

Most home gym users find a 100–150kg bumper package sufficient to start. This typically includes enough plates to load 60–80kg per side, which covers most training needs for Olympic lifts, squats, and deadlifts.

What's included in a bumper package?

Packages include pairs of plates in common training weights. For example, a 60kg package includes 2x5kg, 2x10kg, and 2x15kg plates.

Can I add individual plates later?

Yes. All bumpers are sold in individual pairs if you need to expand your collection.

What's the difference between crumb rubber and virgin rubber?

Crumb rubber bumpers are made from recycled rubber and are typically thicker with a slightly higher bounce. They’re a durable and affordable option for general training.

Virgin rubber bumpers, such as our PRO HG and calibrated competition bumpers, are manufactured from new rubber compounds. They allow tighter weight tolerances, a thinner plate profile and more controlled bounce, making them better suited to Olympic lifting and commercial training environments.

Do I need a platform to use bumper plates?

If you plan on dropping the bar during Olympic lifts, a weightlifting platform or appropriate rubber flooring at minimum is recommended. While bumper plates are designed to be dropped, proper flooring protects both the equipment and the training surface.
