lol It has been so long since I have been to a gym it took me forever to remember the name Olympic so remembering what one weighed was just totally out of the question. But if it weighs 45lbs then it may be a bit longer before JDog can add those 5'sLOL. An Olympic bar weighs 45lbs...so if you've been adding up with 35 add 10 more pounds to your numbers! You may be maxing more than you thought!
