until i watch something other than a video of a video i'm not buying it. Sorry plank, i've always liked you on here, but i'm not believing it. The plates don't look real, at least not in your video. It looks like two legit 45lbs plates, one on each side and then two big round hunks of something on each side. you can clearly see where the first plate on each side is separate, after that it doesn't look like what you normally see on an olympic bar when you put 5 plates on each side. it looks like one big solid piece, not 4 individual plates.
