I always add this comment on these deals. I have had the colored ones for years now and they have held up great. Zero complaints. I would jump at this deal if I needed them.

Bought and cancelled. After review the quality of these colored bumpers seem to be inconsistent. Sticking with the blacks which are $159 currently as well

Whats the lowest $ / lb you've seen these plates go?

Also, how do you management 10lb overall increment increases for something like hip thrust for glutes? Do I need to buy some other 2 X 5lb plates out there?

Which would mean I would need plate increments of 10lbs, like 20lbs, 30lbs, 40lbs, in order to do 5lb jumps (so I can get 15lbs, 20lbs, 25lbs, 30lbs etc by adding the 2 X 5lbs plates).

Ive never used a barbell. No bench press or squat powerrack yet. Just doing hip thrusts on a flat bench.

But I've been using adjustable dumbbells and using 5lbs increments on each side (so 10lbs total) for progressive load (10lb jumps on each side = 20lb jumps are waaaaaay too much).

  • Whats the right increment jumps for a barbell?
You want 5s, 2.5s, and maybe 1.25s or lower if you want to make smaller jumps. I've got 1.25s in my garage so I can make the smaller jumps on lighter lifts.

I love my set. I have all but the 10s and they have all held up.
Shipping took forever but it paid off because I ended up with extras for free.
How long? Mine never shipped even though it was given a tracking number

You gotta complain to CS. I mean it was almost a month. I waited a few weeks and never showed up. Then they resent new ones and at some point they all ended up coming at some point.

I am skeptical since they can't even get the color correct. The 25's should be Green and the 35's should be yellow so why did they reverse them?

They don't do that but order this set and return them under the other receipt. Dont even unbox them. They will even do free pickup.

been looking for this for curling set not bench/squat. need 2 25, 2 10, 2 5, and 2 2.5's. can't find that anywhere for a decent price.
Why would you look for bumpers? Finding used or even new iron plates should be pretty easy nowadays.

I've been doing Stronglifts 5x5 and 5lbs increments (2.5 each side) work great for the first 6 months or so except for the overhead press, for these you'll need the 1.25s and increase 2.5lbs.
After 6 months increasing 5lb is a chore!

For a big movement like hip thrusts you should do fine with 5s. You can progressive overload through weight, reps, sets, or speed in the concentric and/or eccentric. You don't necessarily need to microload weight, just increase the work done. Since you aren't sport specific with the movement then you can choose any viable method for overload without worrying about messing with specialization.

Original price $449...lol...yeah that's not a thing. No one pays near $3 per pound for these. Still a good deal of course, just hate these ridiculous marketing tactics.

With a pair of 2.5s, 2 pairs of 5s, a pair of 10s, 25s, 35s and 45s you can do increments of 5lbs from 45 (barbell alone) to 300lbs. For some lifts like overhead press it can be good to get a pair of 1.25lbs if you can't progress but I'd wait to buy those until you need them.

I bought this yesterday for 194.00. So, I contacted Walmart customer service for a price adjustment. No go, I have to return it and rebuy it… One more reason why Amazon is better than Walmart

Also doing 5x5 and agree with overhead press +5 is tough. I expect to only get 3 or 4 reps per set of the new weight and take potentially a week or two to finally hit the 5x5 before going +5 again

You're right it does - is that a good or bad thing?
I would view that as a good thing so I'm surprised to hear folks in this thread saying they are opting for the all block set with less robust collars.
