Bumper Plates Weightlifting Sets UMAX

Price (starting at): $1,199.00

Our Performance Series Colored Bumper Plate Sets has been designed for the advanced lifter who desires a "competition style" quality set in pounds at an affordable price.

Performance Series bumper plates are manufactured with a solid steel core(not cast iron) for superior strength while facilitating a narrower width, allowing more plates to be loaded onto the barbell. Specially formulated rubber is specially bonded to the steel cores for years of protection in heavy usage environments.

Performance Series Bumper Plates are manufactured in the same factory that produced IWF Certified bumper plates for another leading barbell company.

PERFORMANCE SERIES SETS W/ ELITE BARS

The Elite weightlifting needle bearing bar is manufactured in the USA and in our opinion will equal or surpass any other bar in existence. It is more expensive than the training weightlifting bar and is not for everyone, but if you demand the feel and performance of a truly top of the line bar, this bar will exceed your expectations.

Although the Elite weightlifting bar is not certified for use by the International Weightlifting Federation(IWF) it does conform to IWF specifications and is available in both a mens 20 kg and womens 15 kg model.

The Elite weightlifting bar is designed to be used for decades, not years. The end cap is held in place with a snap ring. On most competitors bars, even their top quality bars, the end cap is pressed in or at the very least requires special tools to remove. Often if it is taken out once, it will never fit tight again and will continually pop out. The Elite weightlifting bar is designed with a snap ring secured end cap so that in 10 or 20 or 30 years, if it does need to be disassembled and cleaned and oiled, the entire bar can be completely disassembled with one tool, a pair of snap ring pliers, and reassembled as "good as new", with no worries about pieces that wont fit tight after being taken out once before.

For this same reason the bearings under the collar are secured with a snap ring instead of being pressing in. If the Elite bar ever needs all five bearings taken out for any reason, it can be done with one simple tool that can be purchased from a hardware store. There is quite a bit of extra machining cost involved in fastening the sleeve to the bar this fashion and the majority of lifters will probably never need these features, but if they are needed, they are there, and we believe anyone spending nearly $600 on a bar will appreciate that.

There are other minor details about this bar that represent the manufacturer's desire to do things the best way possible. For instance the spacing washers between the interior and exterior snap rings and between the bearings and the snap rings inside the collars are hand machined and hand polished. Even some of the most expensive Swedish made weightlifting bars use stamped spacing washers. This small attention to detail may not give the Elite bar any better performance than if cheaper stamped spacers were used instead, but what is known is that imperfections in moving parts usually get worse over time, not better, and the manufcaturer wanted to eliminate as many possible sources of bar failure or performance deterioration as possible.

PERFORMANCE SERIES SETS W/ TRAINING BARS

The Training Mens, Womens, and Junior bars are the first bars offered by our manufacturer, and probably still represent the best value for the dollar of any of their bars. They are lifetime guaranteed and conform to IWF specs including 28mm diameter for the mens bar and 25mm diameter for the womens and junior bar.

Black Zinc coating on the shaft and Chrome collars and sleeves prevent rust. The knurling is the best you will ever feel on a weightlifting bar according to the manufacturer. These bars combine excellent strength and durability, a "feel" that will satisfy even the most experienced and discriminating lifters, with a very affordable price tag.

Although the Training weightlifting bar is not certified for use by the International Weightlifting Federation(IWF) it does conform to IWF specifications and is available in a Mens 20 kg and a Womens 15 kg model.
