There are many simple and effective benefits of this bumper plate. For one thing, it is durable--able to stand repeated drops without decaying or losing its shape. This means fewer replacements and a lower long-term cost for gym owners and individuals who lift weights. Second, it has a high friction coefficient, which eats better grip and keeps your weights from moving when you're lifting. Thus we help reduce the chances of accidents occuring on that score alone. Third, it makes a significant contribution to the noise level, making life much more amiable in our workout rooms. Finally, as well as being practical for many different kinds of liftweights, it is not necessarily imperative to bind down with every robot copy in in this class of machines but can also be used for other forms exercise as well.
