    Make sure you know the difference between rubber weight plates and bumper plates. A lot of people think, incorrectly, that the rubber plates allow you to drop the bar from heights when, for example, doing deadlifts and avoid damaging the floor. This is not the case - rubber plates are just cast iron plates coated with a thin layer of rubber.
