I think I'm dumb, but rule #4 says plate weight only and I cannot figure out how the plates would be 70?

You take a 45lb plate and put smaller plates on top of it, two 10s and a 5 in this case

I'm with @Cannon.  The two plates on the bottom are the same size, and to me, look like 25s.

Yeah I just couldn’t reconcile 70 lbs with the video and the rules. Seems like maybe 65 plate weight.

Honestly I was unaware of rule #4. I weighed the unit as a whole, and I most definitely shouldn't have. It is 70lbs as a whole, but that's includes the pin and unit. Big mistake on my part

Also, funnily enough, I did the same thing about two weeks ago. I had 60lbs in plates on the pin and submitted it as 65 (because of pin+hub). It got accepted on the leaderboard too. Since this would be considered 65lbs, I suggest they just keep my lift on the board as 65lbs. I will definitely come back soon with some better lifts on it for sure.

It was a very commanding lift of the 70!

I mean, it looks like a clear lift to me with 65lbs in plates, but you are correct
