What brand is the true patrician choice for weights? Is Eleiko the goat, or Ivanko, or maybe something classic like York?

It doesn't matter

random second hand bumpers from craigslist

Anything rubber coated and thin. Rubber coated so you can drop them, thin so you can get plenty plates on the bar.

>implying you, or anyone else on this board can lift a bar that's completely filled with even relatively thick plates
>>42631336
get a blacksmith to forge you a handcrafted 500kg set of plates, finetuned to the grams. maybe get your name on them or a nice polished chrome finish
>>42631336
Get a blacksmith to get you... what the fuwahaha

don't forget to ask the pope to bless the weights
>>42631336
None of those. Leoko is best.

True men lift with rocks that they pick up on their travels through the world

if OP lives in Italy thats a good Idea otherwise transport cost will be horrendous. still a good idea though. you could also try to get them blessed by your inspirational person of choice.

Would seriously consider. Unfortunately I have no real idols.
Maybe I should get Bård Hoksrud to bless them for meme cred.

I dont know who this is but a lot of strength athletes and such have daytime jobs and are down to earth, I bet a lot of them would find it hilarious to bless a set of plates

Take the chance and try to get some of Rich Pianos bones and work them into the weights.
Like some sort of reliquary that gives +4 holy bonus on Triceps isolations.

While your at it, try to get a hold of Richs blender too. Its like the holy grail of fitness, imagine the shakes this thing has seen
>>42631926
hahahahahaha

Enough leftover scoops that just running the thing with water a little bit, creates a shake with enough kal to feed an entire family and make a normal mans heart explode.
