I was using a couple 25# plates. I believe the brand is VTX. I didn’t really consider the weight to be an issue but I guess now I know .

Lets keep everything in perspective Charlie. You had a pretty rough weekend of training and Open workouts. Have fun with the training in between the open workouts and realize that doing them multiple times may have some effects on the subsequent days of training 🙂
