About 300kg muscle motion plates. They cause enough trouble for powerlifting that I need to invest in proper plates (calibrated weight and 45cm diameter).
We have a guy deadlifting around 300kg now. He has only been training three years so he needs room to grow.

Can you really get 7 premium iron edge bumper plates onto a 410mm sleeve? At 61mm each that comes to 427mm. Would you be using duct tape as a collar?
ABC BOP220 has 440mm sleeves, so yes, although you'd have a very short space for collars. But 4x25 and 3x20 still gives you 340kg with space for a thin collar..
It might be cheaper to buy a deadlift bar with longer sleeves than go for super expensive plates
The best option I can see will be the Ivanko set. Too bad they are no longer IPF approved but at least the meet director has an Eleiko set to use for competitions. Ivanko for warm up Eleiko for the competition platform pretty funny to me.
I know I'm bumping an old thread, but just wanted to ask where/how you got the Ivanko plates so cheap, I've just got their price list and the 25's are $275ea!!, I know this is 2013 thread but no way in 3 years they have gone up $100ea. Any help would be great mate. cheers
Just heard back from Joe at ABC (very professional), just the Aussie dollar being shit atm, first price increase in 5 years apparently. Still a hefty jump in price in my opinion. Shit happens I suppose haha
