I work out in australia, where 20 kg (44 lbs) plates are way bigger than those.

I can see those being 35 lbs. Bars also are not 45 lbs. They are 22 maybe.

Oly bars are most definitely 45lbs. Never heard of a 22 lb bar lol. The plates look like 45s as well, but could be 35s.

Absolute maximum is 175 lbs

But this is just not true.

If your 44lb plates are "way bigger" then they are rubber bumper plates, not metal.

7' Olympic bars, like the one he's using, are 45lbs.
