If you say so. I lift damn near every day, and those look too thick to be fourty-fives. If you compare a fourty five to a hundred pound plate, you'll notice they don't have a much larger radius, they're just much thicker. Those are definitely too thick to be fourty five's.
Not to mention, look how tall that fuggin tree was! Whaddya think? Twenty times as tall as the men in the picture? 120 foot? 44% as tall as some of the tallest Sequoias. You know, one of the redwoods liked for it's LIGHT WEIGHT?
Yeah.
Guess how much that would make it weigh? Over a thousand tons.
Not saying that Ultimate Captain America is a thousand tonner, but that he realistically supported the crashing weight of a thousand ton tree.
Not that 616 wasn't buried under "countless thousands of tons" of debris as a building fell on top of him, but digging through that much weight is hardly the same as catching it on it's fall. 😬.
