In the top pick, those are 2 tiny 2.5 pound plates. On the bottom pic it's a 5 pound rubber coated olympic plate. I find those rubber coated plates seem to hold up better. I had a cheap iron plate (those ones with the hand holds in it) on top and it shattered after two tosses

This one has held up for a years worth of throws, so I think it will make it a few more
