I had been doing deadlifts with regular iron plates for a while and it required extra effort as I had to be careful not to drop the bar and weight, otherwise it would damage my floor. It was especially problematic when I wanted to keep going to a point of failure. Because I am concerned about dropping it on the floor, I always had to stop my reps before I reach to my failure point, never knowing if I could have done one or more reps.
So I've purchased a few pairs of these plates and they provide amazing peace of mind. I keep going until I fail and at that point I just drop the bar and these rubber plates hit the floor quietly with slight bounce back. Shoulder presses with these plates is also a worry-free routine now.
Good quality plates with aluminum center holes. Highly recommend.
