Bands, chains, wraps, straps, racks... are you sure this is training related?

What's the best deal on bumpers right now? [I don't want any high temp, super fat, bouncy junk plates.]

I have some bumpers from Again Faster, Rogue's color Echo, and Pendlay HDs. A while back I thought the color echos were too bouncy, but I think this was a problem with my floor. In any case, I like them just fine. They aren't too fat and the color coding is standard.

I need another couple sets of 45s.

Has anyone tried the ones from Titan? I don't want red 45s though.

And I'm not sure I trust them enough to get their competition plates.

I was all set on the Vulcan Alpha plates, which I believe are very similar to the One Fit Wonders, which I have used, and are very good, but come in fleckled colors. The OFWs and Vulcan's have a rebar or something steel piece attached to the metal sleeve, which apparently keep the plate from separating over time. I ended up getting the Rogue Training plates because I might've run out of room for deadlifting in the next year (fingers crossed) with the wider bumpers.
