HexBumper NextGen

Gym bros love it, la fitness corporate hates it. 10/10.

My gym only has hex plates available and these make a night and day difference. Makes loading and unloading other 45lb plates much faster too. Super simple to assemble out of the box and also set up/break down at the gym. I would recommend investing in these if you’re limited to what plates you have available for deadlifts

My son recommended I get these for my deadlifts and they work great. I belong to a gym (LA Fitness) that only has hex plates so this product is a real game saver. It works just as described as long as you place the plate properly into the bumpers at the start. The video they sent after my purchase made it easy to figure out. Of course, you need to carry these with every workout, so as long as you don't mind a little extra baggage along, you'll love the product. I recommend.

If you’ve come across this product you’ve obviously been looking for a solution that brought many of us here. That being the damn instability of hex plates while deadlifting. Maybe someone is doing some oly lifting or something of that spirit but either way… the basic need for something to stop the bar from shifting and messing up your setup between every rep… this product is the answer. I deadlift relatively heavy and would either have to touch and go or reset in between every set. Now I have perfect set up for every rep. No wobble whatsoever… they’re a few pounds so make sure you’re accounting for the added weight when you start getting into your pr ranges. They are easy to use once you get used to them. They are pretty snug so sometimes have to really give them a focused tug but I also find if you take some extra time to pull out the slack on them as you wrap the plate they almost always line up within a mm or 2. They are a game changer for sure and I highly recommend for anyone that takes the deadlift seriously.

Shoutout also for the customer service. Jeremy is accessible and sent out pins to me after losing a few. Very cool product with great service!

I used to go to a "hard-core"gym: Power-lifting equipment, Strongman gear, and most importantly-- competition Kilo plates. Sadly, I had to move away from that location and into an apartment; with not enough room to have my own "home Gym". So...I joined a local "Gym"--LA fitness, sadly. To be blunt: LA fitness is just...okay (average)--but what kills the "LA fitness" EXPERIENCE is when training the "big three". At LA Fitness,the Dead-lift is significantly compromised DUE TO THE FACT that LA Fitness only has Hex weight plates. "Hex Plates" SUCK--are just freaking awful for Dead-lifting and downright DANGEROUS. When I was told about the Hex Bumper, I was completely blown away. Not only does it solve the Hex-plate disaster, it makes taking off six plates of 45's very convenient--just like a dead-lift jack.
