Big lift. REALLY BIG LIFT!

Sasha's 2nd rep at 360 lbs:

That's a lot of weight for a hurdler...

No need to say much more.

Bear,

Please help me understand how that is 360 lbs. It looks like a standard 45 lb bar. If that is the case and there are 3 45s on each end, that would be 315. I suppose one answer might be that the bar and plates are each 50 lbs (i.e., 50 x 7 is 350), but that would be close to 360, not 360. Just curious.

The plates are in kilos, so a 25kg plate is approximately 55.5 lbs.

The lift wasn't for the Hall of Fame it was for a workout I gave her. She was supposed to lift 2 reps at the kilo equivalent of 360lbs--and that is what she did!
