I have the some bumpers that are mostly iron(with the outer rimmed area rubber,Solex/few York/Cap/and a pair of lower quality Hi-Temps)
But I wanted some nice big SOLID made RUBBER BUMPERS.
Well I bought two sets-----------from MuscleDriver USA---made by Pendlay(their new Econ V2 series)
OMG----------------the new V2 series(I cannot express how nice these are)they turn me on when I lift them
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
What a difference with the V2's
Bought a pair of their 55lb ones and their 35Lb ones.
They feel heavier than what they say(its an illusion because they are HUGE
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
But they are as solid as all get out.(Stunning bumpers)
So---that will be my new setup(for now)though there is only 235lbs on the bar(got the HD 55lb bar/collars)-----looks like 500lbs
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
Almost 7" thick of 17.72 dia plates
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
Heck I think they will scare off most people and make me look like a big shot

Gives that impression when someone first walks in front basement door(they think holy sh##)

If they ask----will just say(oh ya,thats just my high rep setup)
![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
Wife came home looked at me(and said,ok what did you buy???)
I showed her----she liked them then picked up a 35lb one(and she is strong)and said gosh they feel heavy(about like the extra big bag of Purina Pro Plan Dog food we get ???????????
