Normally $366.66, this 305-lb Olympic bumper plate set is currently on sale for $265.99 on Amazon—that’s over $100 off for Cyber Monday. Here’s the real kicker: You’re basically paying $1 per pound, which is a seriously good deal when it comes to at-home strength training.

What you get

This set includes everything you need to start serious barbell training at home:

That’s 305 pounds total of equipment, giving you plenty of weight progression options whether you’re doing deadlifts, squats, bench press, or Olympic lifts.

Plus, unlike traditional iron plates, bumper plates are made of rubber. The rubber on these should minimize bouncing and protects your floors—crucial if you’re training in a garage or basement and don’t want to damage the surface (or annoy your neighbors).

Whether you’re building out a home gym from scratch or upgrading from cheaper plates that have seen better days, this Cyber Monday deal delivers serious value. At roughly $1 per pound, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better price on a complete Olympic bumper plate set with a barbell included.

How long do Black Friday deals really last?

Black Friday sales officially begin Friday, November 28, 2025, and run throughout “Cyber Week,” the five-day period that runs from Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday, December 1, 2025. But Black Friday and Cyber Monday dates have expanded as retailers compete for customers. You can get the same Black Friday sales early, and we expect sales to wind down by December 3, 2025. 

Are Black Friday deals worth it?

In short, yes, Black Friday still offers discounts that can be rare throughout the rest of the year. If there’s something you want to buy, or you’re shopping for gifts, it’s a good time to look for discounts on what you need, especially tech sales, home improvement supplies, and fitness tech. Of course, if you need to save money, the best way to save is to not buy anything. 

Are Cyber Monday deals better than Black Friday?

Black Friday used to be bigger for major retailers and more expensive tech and appliances, while Cyber Monday was for cheaper tech and gave smaller businesses a chance to compete online. Nowadays, though, distinction is almost meaningless. Every major retailer will offer sales on both days, and the smart move is to know what you want, use price trackers or refer to guides like our live blog that use price trackers for you, and don’t stress over finding the perfect timing.
