BULLDOG, Our Craftmanship is Our Legacy!
Nowadays is very common to find brands and companies selling Olympic weightlifting equipment over the internet. There are brands offering a diverse portfolio of options and might talk about quality and durability while exposing great deals and sales. After the 2020 pandemic, we have seen many companies offering bumper plates and barbells, trying to supply a demand. However, there are companies prior to Covid-19 and even prior to the CrossFit early days, which have supplied bumper plates and barbells in different regions of the world in order to have athletes train for this Olympic sport.
Some brands have been certified by the international weightlifting federation, others have been able to make it to the professional standards, but only few have created a legacy in the sport of Olympic weightlifting due to their equipment quality. We are glad to say we are among these brands, and we have arrived in the United States.
If you have competed at the professional level and have traveled to few Latin American countries, you might have lifted a pair of BULLDOG bumper plates or train with one of our barbells at the venues. Our brand is not IWF certified but we have supplied Olympic training halls over the last twenty years in Latin America. Our equipment has been designed to deal with the extreme conditions of these venues which have allow us to excel and keep innovating our equipment durability.
Our craftmanship still very classic and unique. I personally think, this is why we still manufacture bumper plates that can last more than 10 years. Our main difference from the rest of the world is the BULLDOG rubber compound mix which includes Colombian Natural Rubber and iron cast soul-hub that gives inner structure and impact resistance to all our bumper plates including change plates and technique plates.
After almost thirty years since our first bumper plate was made, we still produce our Training Classic Bumper plates the same way! You might perceive them as “old fashion” and pricy, but our bumper plates are willing to take hundreds of hours of high performance. They are built to last.
From small rural areas in the Andes of South America, going through the famous 90s Bulgarian Weightlifting school, to Olympians; our bumper plates have been designed as the element alongside the athlete that allows the human body to work hard enough to achieve the unthinkable.
Our Brand focuses on the weightlifter, the person behind the singled and boots, who is constantly setting new PRs at the gym, coming out of nowhere but willing to go up on deck and break world records and achieve personal goals. Our bumper plates and barbells are accompanying dozens of athletes willing to be taken to the limit.
Finally, we are glad to arrive in the United States where many programs have started to feel the necessity of better equipment for the sport of Olympic weightlifting. Athletes are getting better and new records have been achieved. Gym owners and coaches are struggling to keep equipment longer than a year or two, affecting their finances and coaching matters.
Let us take care of your change plates, your 5kg’s,10kg’s,15kg’s ; so you can coach and focus on your athletes.
You can reach us out at info@bulldogsportsusa.com for any questions. We might not look as your typical “fitness equipment” company, since we are specialized in weightlifting, but we will look up for your program and business.
We are glad to provide durable equipment at a reasonable price!
