I guess bumper is better for the house with tile floor on the room I am planning to use.
Barbell itself heavy for me... LOL!

Is that a good price for the bench you mentioned?
Side question that's bugged me for years. What are everyone's thoughts on using a single 15 rubber plate, with additional 10-25# steel plates adjacent to it?
I've heard 50/50 opinions on whether that's safe or not, but never something I wanted to try at home. It always seemed like a nice little hack if you didn't want to buy a ton of new plates just for doing light snatches or whatever. From my experience the 15# are a probably little too flexible for this, but maybe with a pair of them?

15's are too thin to drop consistently with additional change plates IMO. At a minimum you would want a 25 if you are going to drop the barbell. If you're not dropping, then any bumper plate will do along with change plates.

I have ordered these on multiple deals recently and while shipping does take awhile, they always arrive and banded into their proper cardboard box undamaged. I am happy with past results and just bought these 15s for my teenage son who just started lifting. These also match the diameter of the colored Rep Fitness bumper plates and best I can tell are from the same Chinese factory.
Agree the other EE bumper plates I got had a big disclaimer about not dropping the 10lbs plates. I imagine 15lb wouldn't be much different so why risk it.
Same, the package was "lost". I'm ordering again though 🥴
