ah! lol  Still never seen an 80 pound one of those.  can yyou link me?


I have 2 in my basement right now...4 10's on each side..not sure it's worth a picture
You could buy some 25's plates and make even heavier ones

Only big disadvantage of those is that, let's say when you bench, you can't rest them on your knees and kick them up to get into lifting position :S

I bought a used set allowing me to make 2x 40lbs + a small bar (not an olympic one) + 8 brand new 10's plates for less than 90$..
