Abstract
An improved weightlifting assembly, such as a barbell, incorporating a locking system comprising a buffer plate having a locking key to serve as a securement means and randomly fasten weight plates to the bar. The weightlifting assembly provides for a bar and oversized weight plates which fittingly interlock together in order to prevent the rolling, separation or spreading of the weight plates across or off the bar. Here, the weight plates have two opposing ends preferably including a fifty percent minimum clearance to allow the user to properly handle, lift and control the oversized weight plates.
