Wright Rubber Solid Rubber Training Bumpers




Just got the shipment of bumpers, came in two days! Great delivery service, came on its own palette and everything, in boxes, wrapped in plastic. For delivery that costs $129 they have to have great service I guess.

So I haven't used them yet, but they are hard as a rock. I think they froze. In the gym area it will be significantly warmer I hope, so they will be better. Either way, its better than metal, and hell, if it cracks in half I am sure I can get another for free. I mean things like that just don't happen.

Excited to use them, getting 605 lbs in iron and a barbell tomorrow, so I can test them out. Gotta be careful though because of the healing sprained ankle.

One idea is to either paint the outer circumference with spray paint or use colored duct tape like at school to denote weight, red, blue, yellow, green. I will consider the 35 lb to be 15 kg, even though it is like 15.87 kg.

PS: The dirt and footprints on them is from me using them as stairs to get out of the garage to get my camera, after I had set them up on the staircase.
