Cathe announcing NEW WORKOUT SERIES!

[Denise R]

I wonder if the new barbell she uses will hold more that the Troy barbell (which I really like). I can't wait for more pics!

Yeah the trouble with the Troy and others like it isn’t just what the bar might be able to hold but that the sleeves are too short to hold many plates. I’m curious as to how any on Cathe’s forum get it to hold 100, because I don’t think mine will hold five 10 lb plates on each side. Maybe you can find 25’s with the standard hole? I was not able to.

I looked at a Facebook comment, and Jai (one of my favorite Cathe cast members) won't be in this series. But I'm glad for some new faces though! And Al is back from Xtrain and Ripped with HiiT!

For the Troy Lite and extra Troy Lite plates I bought last year, I found that five plates on each side is the max it can hold and still fit a spring collar or clamp collar on the end. So that's 100lbs on the bar (assuming one is using all 10lb plates) + the bar itself weighs 5lbs so 105 lbs total? (Troy says it can hold 80lb max.)

To fit the five plates on the end, I have to make sure the troy plates "interlock" for lack of a better word when putting them on so they fit tightly together.

Please someone correct me if you've been able to fit more than five plates on either side.

Bummer! She's my favorite too! I'm so sad now

I too will miss Jai, but I'm sure she has a life outside of fitness. Glad to see Al back. It's always nice to see Brenda as well, and new faces add freshness.
