| Thanks for the reply buzzman. They're being used frequently for oly lifts (5 times a week or so), and dropped onto one of your gym mats which is on top of a rubber floor. I only just noticed it today, and the plates hadn't been behaving any differently so it hasn't seemed to have made a difference so far. The metal insert (is this the bushing?) does move around a bit but I wouldn't describe it as overly loose at this point and it's not broken or anything like that. A bit of googling suggests using a sub-flooring adhesive to secure the metal insert again if it becomes looser. | |||

| Buzz, apologies if this is a silly question, but concerning your bumper plates, the metal ring at the centre of the plate (into which you put the bar), is this meant to spin around? On all four of the plates I bought from you (two 20kgs, two 10kgs in different orders) the metal ring is a bit loose and spins around freely. Is this supposed to happen? | |||

| I was about to congratulate you on your jerk PB but now you go and get a couple of others too!! jerk PB, playing with your snatch PB and a paused squat PB (after a bunch of other paused reps too), what more can you ask for? I hear you on busy gyms, mine is pretty quiet the times I go fortunately, but when it's busy it's easy to lose focus, so double well done on that! The 90 c+j is only a matter of time away, and your behind neck press is looking strong, better than mine for sure! We'll have to sort out another session soon my friend! | |||
