I think this was in prep for the '75 O. How much is on the 45 pound bar?

Stephano · « **Reply #1 on:** September 19, 2016, 08:34:54 PM »

Looks to be about 115lbs

BBFan · « **Reply #2 on:** September 19, 2016, 09:58:23 PM »

Looks like 75kg /165lbs/ plus the weight of the bar/15 or 20 kg/.

Exactly, and he bar shouldn't be more than 15 kg.

It's not an olympic set so the bar probably isn't 45 lbs/20.5 kg...Olympic bars and collars are precision made to a certain weight.

Old style standard bars are about 3 - 3.5lbs per foot, the bar is probably a 6', so 18 - 21lbs, add 2-4lbs for the inside collars too. Figure at most maybe #25lbs for the bar.

This is '73 or '74. In 1975 the train painting on the wall (above the mirrors) was painted over white.

I'm thinking about opening up a gym with only fake weights. It would be a sanctuary for boosting the egos of emotionally fragile off-cycle bodybuilders.

Great idea... now Leverone could put 20-30 plates on the leg press and do full reps.

I did curls with 80 kg for 4+2 at my peak very long time ago.
Decent form even if I recall correctly.

Just wanted to share.

I did 80 kg x 5 with an overhand grip, EZ bar.

A little jerking but not too much.

I was stronger with the overhand.

Darren Avey · « **Reply #15 on:** September 20, 2016, 09:42:27 AM »

70KG for strict 3 reps. I prefer dbs though, seated curls with the 32 kg for 8

2-100 lb york plates on a york curl bar for a few cheat reps...

We'd also get Levrone's 100 pound dumbbell curls in our faces once again!
