I can't think of a reason why the bumper plates will not work for everything. I would buy them if it was me.

@OdieM damn you I'm so jealous! Send those bumper plates over my way! 
I mean I prefer them over iron plates now, especially in my garage gym because if I'm squatting heavy and no one is there to spot me...I can bail out safely and my plates will be safe too! Obviously they are better for Olympic lifts because we drop the bar a lot. So if you wanna do power cleans/hang cleans they'll be good for that as well.
With those Rogue ones specificay you'll be able to fit 405 but not much else on there unfortunately....well except if you got more 25's you could stack those on there instead to give you 20 extra pounds total. I'd ask the guy just to be sure! Sorry I don't have a better answer for you...but in not exactly squatting 400+ pounds these days
Lol
Overall Id say go for it because they are much safer for personal use and they will last a hell of a lot longer and NEVER rust!

I like the Rogues ! We got the Hammerstrength bumper plates at our gym .They are no thicker than any other bumper plate (The Rogues) , you"ll have plenty of room on a 7' bar for 750+lbs....
Ive got 3 or 4 different weight sets for different purposes . My squat area has their own . My bench press area has its own . Then a deadlift area and a curling area has their own barbells .
The squat & deadlift area is really the only place you need bumper plates ,IMO.

Feeling sick looking at all the $$$ that I spent for this home gym. It totaled up pretty quick. As long as I use it its fine but for years I had the bow flex in a spare bedroom with clothes hanging on it. I don't have the balls to tell the GF what I've been up to. Don't feel like hearing her bitch. Maybe she won't be home when all this stuff gets delivered. She never goes in the garage either. hahah Yeah I can hear her now and when we go to the lake she will tell my mom and then I will hear bitching from the both of them my whole vacation. Whatever no ones fucking up my fishing
You worked for it ,You earned it . You buy it . 
Im a maniac so the bumper plates are too quiet for me. I love to slam the plates together and make noise !! All thru the neighborhood !

@MindlessWork ain't no rest for the wicked Sir 
Does your GF have excess to your bank account balance Odie ? Does she check it ? lol
Do a spreadsheet showing her how much your gym membership cost, and show her how long till the equipment pays for itself. Then show her how you can sell it when you're old, and how that money will help fund you all's retirement. Don't forget to figure in the cost of steel in today's prices, and then add inflation to that.
She'll be so extatic that you're thinking about you all's future together she'll sexually abuse on the spot..

Or just explain that she doesn't get to control everything you do. It's a relationship yes, but not a dictatorship. This is what you love and she can accept it or not.
(I've also been divorced twice)

C'mon man, WTF are you thinking? You're setting a precedent. If she doesn't like it you need to tell "her" to get a 2nd job [emoji6] Remember, you've got goals, and you'll never reach those goals working 2 jobs, fishing, and eating those big ass cheese burgers.Oh I'll be alright fellas.

I don't know Odie, I think since you're not married or getting married in a few months it's none of her damn business!! Just my opinion..
Yeah, get some cahones Odie. Tell her YOU wear the pants in the relationship.I don't know Odie, I think since you're not married or getting married in a few months it's none of her damn business!! Just my opinion..
Don't worry, she'll tell you which one's to put on, and when to put them on.
In my case, Happy Wife, Happy Life

haha yeah but she lives with me and she's close with my mother so I have to play nice. Theres no wrath like my mothers wrath. lol
@OdieM now this is a man with a plan. I mean how can she argue with that? This is what I would do but I would look pretty ridiculous standing their while reading it out of a notebook since my simple minded ass could never spit that shit right off the top of my head an remeber it line for line. You could also name the book...PLEASE ALLOW ME TO EXPLAIN lmfao
...and you need to keep your secret a secret . You dont want this here to get out , it could be used against you . Ive seen ex-GF"s bring guys down because of their useage ...Im sure you know this .
