Question on Pumping Iron

[supersizeme]

I just watched it yesterday afternoon...great flick. I enjoyed the hell out of it, especially Ahnald's shit talking. My question is, I was trying to judge the weight they were using and they used some big ass plates that didn't look like a normal 45lb sewer lid. Are these 100lb plates? Like in the scene where Ahnald and Columbo are hitting up squats, Columbo has 3 of these big ass plates on each side. Is that 645lbs?? Also there's a scene where Lou is busting up some incline bench and he's got one of these big ass plates per side. 245lbs??? Is that a European thang?

What I thought was wierd is how they always lifted without full range or motion. When they were doing bench they did not come even close to lockout. I know most people don't lockout, but their reps looked like half reps.
