Nah literally crushing plates would feel so good. Worth the effort to melt it again every few sessions

You could encase them in plastic to prevent damage and mask them for some run off the mill equipment. Nobody would suspect anything without prior knowledge.

The weights being nearly twice as heavy for their expected size would be a bit of a giveaway to anyone who has ever been in a gym.

That's easily sorted by higher plastic to gold ratio.

But they feel nice to touch.

Having to handle the plates with care and the damage they’d take regardless would add to the charm.

This whole thread renews my faith in humanity

I’ll spot you!
