Rubber weights are made in the same increments. Those are 45-pound plates.

45lb rubber plates look like the 100lb metal plates. They come in the same weights, but the rubber ones look like you are lifting alot more than you really are.

I've used rubber plates many times before and in different places, and they've always been the same size as the all-metal plates.

Olympic lifts are done with rubber weights, and this is an Olympic lift. As for the actual weight, different weighted rubber plates (25 vs 45, for example) are all the same size, so you can't automatically say that 3 plates = 315 lbs like you can with the metal ones.

And rest easy, North Texas fans, Schilleci is already working on some of his Guyer teammates, including 2013 three-star wide receiver Ellis Jefferson and Jerrod Heard, who could end up being one of the top quarterback prospects in the country for 2014.

“That’d be extremely cool if a lot of local kids started going there [uNT],” Schilleci said. “I was talking with Jerrod and E.J. today. I think Jerrod is going to their camp pretty soon, and I thought how cool would it be if we all went there and [helped establish UNT’s program].”

This kid committing is cool in itself, but this other part makes me very happy in addition... Start chatting it up with some of the linemen. How about some DT's and DE's...I think there have been some really good ones from Denton over the past couple of years...

Jordan Williams did this exact same thing when he committed to our b-ball team and I believe he was part of the reason we had such a good recruiting class last year. We need out commits to be vocal and call out other great players in the area to build up North Texas.

Just that while it looks like well over 300 lbs. if it were metal weights, rubber weights weigh much less than metal ones. So it would be much less weight was the point I was trying to make.

A 45lb. metal weight and a 45lb. rubber weight are typically the same size. Trust me, I run a health and wellness center and order these all the time. Now there are "training weights" that will be the same diameter but not the same thickness so they weigh less, but this is done to allow power lifts to be completed more easily.

Back on topic, this signing could be along the lines of the Jordan Williams basketball signing as cdizzle86 commented. Either way, I love the aggessiveness displayed in this young man's video and am pleased to have him on board. If he can persuade Heard and Jefferson to follow suit, then that would be icing on the cake!

Love that he is selling the program!

You understand that whether they are metal weights or rubber padded weights (usually used for cleans) that a 45 lb metal weight and a 45lb rubber padded weight - weigh exactly the same.

The point is, you cannot tell from the video what the weights of the rubber plates are.

I can confirm those are 35's. I watched my son lift in this weight room this last spring where Guyer, Marcus and Hebron got their varsity football teams together for a informal showcase of team strength. My son is a DB and I thought I had just witnessed him putting up and incredible max of 365 on bench and 345 power clean when is best max was 305 and 285 respectively. After seeing some other parents milling around in the weight room, I went in to talk to my son to see what the heck and he pointed out the he only completed his best max of 305 and 285. The 35's look like 45's but are thinner. Not sure why they were stacking the 35's on everything they were doing but I was overwhelmed watching all of them from the outside looking in.

Here's an article on Rivals regarding early commits being good recruiters.

      A-Scott Projected to OU

      St. Johns is one of the great sleeping giant jobs in the nation. They have a fantastic basketball history (they haven't been that great for the last generation or so, but the Johnies do have a helluva tradition) going back about 80 years and they play in NYC at MSG.

      If…..

      Recent Past With all the excitement over Tylor Perry we quickly forgot about the best player from our recent past. The stats and awards bear it out. In my mind the answer is Javion Hamlet. No other player has accomplished what he has. https://meangreensports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/javion-hamlet/4731 Imagine what he would have accomplished if the 2020 NCAA Tournament had not been cancelled. We won the Conference in 2020 and arguably that was the best team we have ever had.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      A majority of schools could just vote to dissolve the ACC. There would be a court fight, but eventually schools that want out will be released with some greatly reduced financial penalty. It's like a divorce, you can't keep someone in an unhappy relationship, even with a contract. It will happen probably before the end of next year at the pace things are moving.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      The ACC has a media rights deal that runs through 2036 with massive financial penalties to leave. ACC schools make more money per school than the Big 12. The PAC had no media deal and zero financial penalty to leave the conference. The two situations couldn't be more different. ACC schools do not want to associate themselves with the likes of WVU, Cincy, UCF, Texas Tech, OK State and the other Truck Stoppers.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      The ACC will be picked apart just like the PAC was. Big12 will help in the raiding, just as they did with the PAC.
