Those York plates with the thick hub at 10:15-10:30 were the only olympic weights in the weight room at the base gym in St Hubert Quebec, when I was working out there in 1979-1980. I knew they were old, but to find out they were from the 1930s is amazing. they had about 8 of the 45s and about 4 of the 35 and 25s each from the same set/timeframe.

I'm 79 and been lifting since HS a Atlas 110 barbell and dumbbells. I have never seen such a collection. I'm blown away. Thankyou really enjoyed this, Brian Shaw.

At the beginning, those plates purchased in 1959 are in better shape, than most plates in modern gyms today. Efren CARES about this stuff and wants it to stay in the best shape it can be.

Man. So much positive energy. I’m no power lifter but the history and effort to build that collection and the history. Thanks so much for sharing this with us all!

Brian you should design your own vintage style cast plates or dumbells and add to the tradition. I bet you could get some decent traction.

As a swede, it's so cool to see Eleiko weights in his collection. I would love to hear more about those plates with the SWEDEN stamp. Awsome collection and video!

One of the coolest fitness posts I've seen in a long time. Thanks for sharing Brian!

Honestly always love the videos brian and the last couple months youve been on a role. But something about the level of respect you showed in this and the way you let thus collector explain everything about what hes got . Hands down one of the best videos I’ve seen from any one in a long time.

Where's part 2? All the bars in the beams and memorabelia in the glass cases.

Honestly this is one of the best videos you've done. Thanks!

Brian looks like a kid in a candy store, so happy! It's amazing to see this collection. I can't image how it would be being there. You can see how much joy it brings them both just standing there and talking about all the weights.

I love how happy you are seeing those weights. I honestly am too! I have always been amazed but strong men ever since i was a child. I love that you are Efren are doing so many great things for strongman history and keeping it all alive and sharing it with the world. Thanks for another great video brian shaw!
