Later on, Vulcanized rubber was used to create bumper plates. Making the shaft of the bar longer to accommodate the thickness of the plates was not an option as it displaced the load further from the lifter's body, making the lift harder than it inherently is. First attempts at manufacturing rubber bumper plates resulted in very thick rubber plates that caused issue when trying to add multiple plates to the weight bar. As records increased it became necessary for weightlifters to drop the weights from overhead rather than risk injury to bring them down after the extreme physical exertion from the execution of the one rep maximum lift. Original weightlifting plates were made of steel and cast iron. The first games featured one hand and odd lifts as well as the traditional Snatch and Clean and Jerk.
