It is
If you have change to try this 50kg rubber plate (66mm) it is worth of the effort.
Yeah I've seen the videos of those plate pinches, they get ridiculously wide! Haha. If I had access to better plates that weren't rubber coated, id try that.I like do one hand euro pinch at 54mm and 2hp 50mm width. I also do two-six discs pinch with different widths ( 50mm, 52mm, 54mm, 56mm, 60mm, 68mm, 84mm, 86mm, 98mm, +100mm etc... ) (Duke, York, Leoko, Eleiko, Casall etc plates.)

Haha dude that is awesome! Looks like fun too... Nah unfortunately all the Y has are rubber coated plates going up to 45lbs. I'm hoping to scratch together enough money to buy some used dumbbells to cut up. I have a few blocks, but not much. I have this machinist who has drawn up plans to make a 50lb blob replica for me, but it's too expensive at the moment. I was actualy thinking, just to be resourceful, that I could grab one of the dumbbells at the Y and between squat sets, up end it and lift it a few times by the face. Of course, the rubber coating on the heads will make this a little easier, but the fact that it's a facelift and I'm pulling the whole weight of the dumbbell (not just one head) should even out the difficulty. It's something I could do at least for the moment. They wouldnt let me keep blocks and blobs there anyway, they'd by lying all over the place and kids would be dropping them on their toes trying to lift them. Haha
It´s hard to find reasonably-priced plates. I have Leoko and Eleiko plates and they are sick expensive. I would also want some heavy HEX weights and York plates. I just ordered to my kids 8kg and 10kg blobkweights and I hope too that they dont drop those on their toes. ![]()
