When into FD today and picked up the CAP Beast Bar. Also, was looking for a pair of 45 pound bumpers but they were out. For $1.67/pound it's a pretty good deal.

I have the beast bar and it's solid. Only thing I don't like is the ribbed sleeves which gets scratched when loading my cast iron plates. This results in metal shavings falling off. Waiting for my rubber coated plates to arrive to see if it's any better.

I use the Beast bar as well, and unfortunately no, these rubber coated plates are a bit weird around the rings so it won't be better.
Some reviews had said they had rubber on the inside, which I don't believe is true, I think it's directly on the black painted cast iron.
That said, the rubber coating makes kind of a lip around the ring, so when you're loading/unloading, it leaves rubber shavings on the ribbed sleeves.
It also wasn't a smooth slide because of that.

I tried it only once on the Beast bar, so I don't know whether over time that lip would get shaved off and you would no longer get bothered.
Or maybe you could try trimming it off.

To compare, I have better quality virgin rubber coated plates or bumper plates that have a steel ring and obviously no issues with those on the Beast bar.
Even my York cast iron plates don't really give me issues.

Got it brand new in box from a guy selling it on FB from Hamilton. I paid $370 for it...I think it was $349 in stores then but they didnt have inventor and still don’t.

Same guy still has them, but he’s asking like $450 or $470 now.

It’s a great rack tho...build really well.

Just your average horse stall Mats 3/4”. Picked them up on FB marketplace..keep an eye out, they come up often.

I think 1 mat weighs like 70lbs lol. It’s heavy as hell.

Got an email this morning from walmart saying the 35lb cast iron cap plates are on backorder, not sure if this means they will never ship or what. Anyone else get this?
