We have some 50kg Eleiko plates (110lbs) at the gym and even I hesitate messing with them they are so unweildy lol. A little girl might get injured pulling it off a leg press.They were 45lbs but that's a good point of reference because they were the exact same size as normal 100lb plates. They looked like they were pretty expensive, and I can't believe that gym owner decked out the whole gym with them. Skinnier the plates, the better
My current gym has a pair of 100lb plates over by the Leg Press. Girls at my gym train legs way more than the dudes and almost every day I see some chick struggling to get them off the end of the leg press weight tree to get to the 45s haha
I did some sloppy front delt plate raises with one of them before and people were looking at me like they were witnessing a Sasquatch or a released Zoo animal
They have a little lip on one side and we competed in lifting it with one hand for time. Hurt you fingertips like a SOB. Most couldn't budge it.
