So kind to wrap up your helpful response with a lmgtfy link and sass. Hilarious your search term still required some knowledge of what to search since you searched for a search term that wasn't directly from this post. For example, "Gluck's gym BalanceFrom" did not yield this result. But sure, if you knew to search Google specifically for "Gluck's gym essential bumper" then you'd get to the link. But then lmgtfy doesn't apply if you need to know the unique term to find the place.


Anyway, I had searched on Youtube (as stated by the person who recommended looking him up on Youtube) and you'll note that the video never states "BalanceFrom" in the description or chapters - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yodFBaEDoA so it was quite tricky to find. Granted the article linked here - https://glucksgym.com/blogs/news/...ying-guide does call out the "BalanceFrom Everyday Essentials plates".

To those curious, the TLDR is that he calls out the cheap construction of the rubber inside but doesn't totally call off buying them entirely as they are quite a bit less expensive than some of the other options.


Thanks again for the link and also no thanks for the unnecessary sass.

Can someone please provide a link to buy a lifting barbell to go with this set?
I got this one to go with these weights the last time around. Nothing fancy about it, but it's been serving me well.

Got the green Essentials during a prior slickdeals, and they are legit and don't have that lingering tire rubber smell that the black ones have.

DO NOT buy it unless you are sure to keep it. The return process is PITA. Walmart only provides one shipping label not suitable for 260lbs. Still arguing with them and FedEx on the extra shipment charges which are way more than the product price.
Return to store? The employees would love it

It's a well known fact that slickdeals is home to the strongest, most jacked dudes on the planet.

The Walmart return center did not accept it because they could not find the correct barcode. There is only one barcode in their system for the whole set. Such barcode is not attached to any individual packages.

Any review comparing to rogue?
I wouldn't compare it to Rogue. Rogue 260lb set is $687.00. You can buy 3 sets of these 260LB for the price of one Rogue set. The 45s, 35s, 25s and maybe 15lbs should last just as long. The 10LBs will bend if you leave them on the bar on their own so people usually get Fringe Sport 10lbs.

If you return them Walmart would just send you a link to print a return label and Fedex truck will pick it up at your house at no cost. I bought 2 sets of these and they arrived the next day, overall I am happy.

Walmart shipped the order in multiple packages with individual tracking. FedEx Ground can handle that without issue. For return, Walmart only generated one ground shipping label that can carry no more than 150lb. I have asked for more labels several times without a response.
I won't order any bulk products from Walmart anymore. YMYD.

Figure out if you want weights with handles or not before you buy a set
This is so true. Think about the workouts you do and if they require switching plates like the Apple fitness videos that often need two sets of weights.

It took me months arguing with Walmart about a lost return shipment last year and 10 phone calls. Nightmare to return heavy items to a third party vendor

Find out what that barcode is. Use a barcode generator to create the UPC barcode needed. Tape it on the box (or directly on the weight). Now, Walmart employee will have a barcode to scan for return.

Check Gluck's Gym on YouTube. He compares these and other bumper plates.
Direct link to video covering these plates? Couldn't find it
