What's the deal with those fuckhueg bumper plates? Are

>>39839224
they are made of osmium

>>39839224
They're cheaper than smaller bumper plates, so gyms get them to save money.

>>39839277
Best of both worlds, really. My gym is able to buy budget in bumper plates because of the economy line from Rogue, and I get to have bumper plates to do oly stuff with, without having to go to a crossfit gym or get coaching.

I always am puzzled on how gyms in "former Easter Bloc" countries can afford Eleiko stuff.

Does the USA just slap a monster 5000% tariff on the price of Eleiko things ? And then Ivanko USA just jacks up their prices for funsies.

>my gym has the York multi colored non-calibrated ones.

>>39839224
they're good for oly lifts and i like to use a bumper as my first pl8 when deadlifting

>>39839224
It's to make weaklings and women feel strong by having massive plates when they squat 30kg

>>39839277
But they aren't cheaper than iron.

Eleiko is located in Sweden which is closer to Eastern Europe

Cheaper and more durable. Lower density and larger surface area make them less likely to damage floors if dropped. Being wider makes them less likely to crack the same way thinner polymer weights will.

Also the greater size does give the illusion of lifting more, early progress will have a greater visual impact on the amount an individual is lifting. That will boost confidence and give a greater sense of progress, the greater appearance of progress will cause the person to like lifting more.

Excuse me?
How does anything I wrote make me a crossfit goer?

People who defend giant rubber plates are inevitably crossfags

I note you havent denied that you are one

Nice autism

>>39840023
I don't think I've ever dropped a weight, I'm paranoid of crushing my toes so I actively try to avoid situations that would lead to weights falling in that direction.

>>39840084
Well you are inevitably wrong.

The reasons I had given you are nothing to do with crossfit. I have seen one a crossfit gym and a class attending it because my godfather owns one. It's not the worst thing for workouts by the looks of it, but not the best.
The jackass you typically see are even considered idiots by other crossfiters, atleast according to my godfather when I had asked him about the matter.

>>39840023
>cheaper
Wrong

>if dropped
Nobody should be coddled into dropping weights; rubber floormats alleviate any issues regardless

>illusion
Delusions of grandeur should not be encouraged
