The Troy light barbell, which cathe uses in PH and some other workouts, is 5#, so more plates are added to make the total weight. I just did PLB today, and the barbell Cathe uses in that one is differnt. The plates are HUGE! So when she's lifting 40#, it looks like something Arnold would lift, and even though I'm lifting the same or even heavier weight, it doesn't look as impressive! Bummer!
