The 20kg plates that fit it mustn't be as high as Olympic plates. Fun fact, I permanently run a 5kg plate each side so I get a 20kg "bar". How much you deadlifting these days @k31th? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then bumper plates etc that are specifically for certain use-cases inside these AF's. They're all 20kg bars as far as I've experienced. Makes sense to run 5kg each side with a 10kg bar. I haven't deadlifted for a while and don't have it as part of my regimen as it's the one lift that I got the most niggles/injuries from, over a few years. But last time I did, I lifted 140kg for 3 but didn't try to lift anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My strength program has deadlifts, the bodybuilding program doesn't. I'll keep doing them while the weight is increasing, then probably swap for a while. Haha I always get so hyped up and excited talking about it here, then I actually have to lift the weights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
