Wait, so...is that, like, actually a thing? Lighter weights shaped like 45lb weights?

I was thinking there was no fucking way she was lifting a 300lb bar, even if she had three fucking arms. But...it's actually like <100?

Yeah, pretty much. I saw those at our local sports store recently. 10 lb. plates that are the same size as a 45 lb. plate, but they are thinner.

"bumper plates" are a thing. And they aren't always 45 lbs each.

The idea is all plates should be same diameter, but thinner and made of more rubber so you can drop the whole thing and it will do less damage to shitty floors.

Crossfit loves them because it makes for better Facebook pics.

I've seen everything from 10 to 100 lb bumper plates sold in Sporting Good stores.

This is her dead lifting 205 according to youtube, just shows how light those plates are.



I did 350 last week and it "looked" like half that. but I was using a full Olympic bar and iron plates. Not only is she using mostly rubber plates, I think she is using a 30lb bar, aka (women's bar)

That's not a deadlift, though. More like an olympic lift ('snatch'?) without the overhead finish.

If that's 205, it's still pretty goddamned impressive. I am a 195lb 6'3 male [with two arms] and I damn sure couldn't get that bar from the floor to my chest.

I can even excuse the style of the plates given what she's doing. But it definitely gives the illusion of 6x45 plates, aka an even 300lbs with the 'ladies' bar. I didn't even know 45lbs was the standard weight for a free bar...hell, I do squats and presses on a smith machine and it says the bar is only 15lbs.

No that's a deadlift (the lower pic)

There is no "overhead" finish in deadlift. you stand up straight, and that's basically it.

Your pic didn't load when I saw your post earlier- so I thought you were talking about the gif.

...so the gif is, indeed, only like 100lbs. Maybe 120, tops. Looks like she has 1 thick plate and two thin plates on each side, versus 2/4 in the other pic.

Reminds me of when I see chicks doing squats with like sixteen 5lb plates. I don't get the obsession with filling the bar.

...on the flipside, I get annoyed with my buddy, who absolutely MUST use the smallest amount of plates possible. So if we're alternating sets, I gotta keep pulling 45's and replacing them with, say, a 25 and a 10...and rather than add another ten, he strips those off and finds 45's...every...time...

Some chicks would struggle to move a 45 from a tree to the bar, so I can understand the "q-tip".

It's true. The asshole killed himself running from the police. Totally wasted the heart that was donated to him, which could have gone to a more responsible recipient.

This was the worst possible outcome and totally validated the controversy over his transplant.

[edit]
http://www.wsbtv.com/news/news/local/police-suspect-hits-pedestrian-while-running-offic/nkjbq/

- Robbed an 80+ year old woman
- Shot at her
- Stole a car
- Ran from police in high speed chase
- Hit a pedestrian with the stolen vehicle
- Slammed into a pole and killed himself

I wonder if he was an organ donor? Maybe that heart could have gone into a third body and done some good.

Wow that's fucked up.

And now I feel fucked up, because that's the first I've laughed at something in this thread a while...

Yep, about as disappointing as you can get I suppose.

Seems there was a reason in reality they didn't want to do the heart transplant to begin with ya think?

Just in general considering past history and all.

What she's doing is a clean. Clean is usually the first part of going for a jerk - you clean it up and then split jerk the weight overhead.

it looks like a womens bar with a pair of fifteens and then a couple pairs of tens. It also looks like she has a couple smaller iron plates on, probably fives or 2.5. Give or take she's probably doing between 105 and 115. Still no slouch for a one arm clean but it's more or less your core strength trying to balance that thing. Most women I know who lift heavy can clean between 135-155. Most men (who lift regularly) should be able to clean between 200-235.

Anyways - bumper plates are awesome and I could care less what they look like. I'm also not a bar dropper intentionally but it's a hell of a lot less damaging if I fail on a lift with bumpers vs iron.

True but she is also only using one arm so not the same. Quite frankly as long as she honestly says how much the weights were then I do not care what the equipment looks like especially since she might not even own that shit.
