Looked cool but help me understand something; those don't look like 45's. I count 7 wheels per side and the next plat down on the end. so 14x45=630+bar(45)=675+70(2 35's)= 745lbs or 14x35=490+bar=535+50(2 25's)= 585 lbs. either way thats a HEAVY FS, I just don't see how they got a 705 total. ------------- |

If I'm correct, that guy is Australian and would be using kg plates. So the plates would be 44? Just a guess. That would be 14x44=616 plus a bar (I guess it's 45) = 661 without those small side plates which maybe could be 25s? I don't know. It looks like a lot more weight than I could do what ever it is. |

IDK using the metric side of things I come up w/ 14x20kg plates = 280+20kg(bar?)=300+2 10kg=320kg=705.468lbs I haven't seen alot of metric plates, could those be 20kg plates? ------------- |

Ya it's more than a few hundred pounds over my max, lol. I was suprised not to see the bar flex more w/ all that weight. ------------- |
