I still use a really old Danskin barbell set that I bought extra 10 lb weights for back in 2005. But someday I plan to upgrade. The Troy Lite barbell set used to be very popular (at least on Cathe's forums), but now I believe Cathe & crew use the Don Oliver Bodypump barbell set.
This is content from a helpful post from Cathe's forum about the weights on the Don Oliver Bodypump barbell set (I think they are sand filled?*): Quote:
https://cathe.com/forum/threads/barb...plates.310191/ https://cathe.com/forum/threads/bran...studio.309177/ *"The weight plates are constructed of a robust 4mm thick polyethylene outer shell and filled with an iron sand compound." The Troy Lite barbell set has "cast iron plates with rubber coating" and can hold a max of 80lbs (though Cathe forum members have reported using more than 80lbs and not having an issue). Comes with two each of 2.5 lb, 5 lb, & 10lb plates and bar weight is 5 lbs. So fully loaded w/o adding extra plates, it is 40lbs. Last edited by adawn; 06-19-19 at 04:10 PM.

I have one of the Group Strength barbells by Iron Grip. They're used in Jari Love's original Get Ripped dvd.
I got it years ago, purchased via USPS and a money order. Not cheap, but I really like that the plates can be used as individual weights. http://www.irongrip.com/products/groupstrength.asp I don't think their website has changed at all in all these years. My other one was one of those P.I.N.K. barbells that showed up for cheap on Walmart's site. You got the barbell and a series of dvds. Didn't care for the workouts but the barbell is fine. Not sure it's made any more.
