Summary
The PRx Crumb Rubber Bumper Plates are made from durable, recycled crumb rubber and make a good quality plate. The material allows for less noise and impact compared to steel plates. Users can fit five 45-pound plates on each side of a bar.PRx states that they have tested the plates to withstand 30,000 drops. However, a caveat is that the 10-pound and 15-pound plates cannot be dropped if alone on the barbell. Doing so will lead to the inserts being damaged and the warranty will be voided.
