>the barbells at YMCA are metric 20kg/44lb but the plates are english 45lbIs this normal at other gyms in USA? Why tf do they have 20kg bars instead of 45lb bars especially when they have 45lb plates? I want my 3pl8 bench to be 315 not fucking 314
>>77476588Ma sti cazzi
>>77476588>He doesn't count clips.
>>77476588Who gives a fuck about 1 pound, add more plates if you want it to be heavier. And like the other guy said, the clips have weight lol
>>77477292they're called magazines
>>77476588if the plates are from cast iron, it'll be off much much more than 1 pound
>>77477292less than 1lb probably>>77477293Idk if the YMCA even has 1/2 pound plates>>77476604what?>>77477301:^)
>>77476588Your 45s are 44s, maybe even 46. Pick the heavier ones next time
>>77476604Basato
>>77476604>>77477362got em
>>77477370how can I tell which is heavier?
>>77477383The man who can determine 315 is heavier than 314 can't decipher if his 45 pound weight is the 44 or 46 one?Is this a bait thread?
>>77477389What the fuck? I want to know what I am lifting to track progress and hit milestones, benching 314 and saying I benched 315 is cheap, that doesn't mean I can magically tell which it is by feel
>>77477389>manI'm a woman
om nom nom tasty
>>77477410>>77476588No one cares just say you bench 315. Only an autistic retard (like yourself) would "uhm akchuallyy" at you
europeans invented barbell lifting so why the fuck are you not using 20kg plates?
>>77477434You seem to misunderstand, anon. My concern is not proving myself to others. My concern is reaching my own goals for my own sake, and I do not want to cheat.Anyway, will anyone actually answer the question? Are there bars labeled 45lb at your gym?
>>77477436Because I am not European and because the YMCA does not have 20kg plates
>>77477438Quit being an autisic retard.
>>77477444Answer my question please
>>77477360why?
>>77477453lol u dum
>>77477301
>>77477520???????
>>77477453Cause there's a hole in it, duh.
>>77477535¿¿¿¿¿¿¿
>>77477560WILL ANYONE PLEASE ANSWER THE OP QUESTION? Your lack of answer is making me sad :'3
>>77477651Guess it is true >>77477417
Uncalibrated plates have rather high weight tolerances. And more on the lower side of the scale
>>77477699Oky now answer>>77477896Ok but I still want an answer please
>>77476588A jew was probably trying to transmute it into gold
>>77478055oy vey
>>77478053because plates made of cast iron or bumper plates are usually massively off, like 5-10% off. if we're talking 270 pounds, that's a lot of plates
it's one pound. deal with it.
>>77477438I have in my home gym a pair of 40 pound dumbbells. One actually weighs 38.6 and the other 41.4. I don’t care I just lift them anon. And I write in my notebook “40”. And I tell other anons I overhead pressed 40 for 10-12 reps. It’s perfectly fine. I don’t even swap hands every set.
>ITT: Anons that lie, cheat, and fraud their way to higher stated numbers than they actually liftAt this point you may as well roid, faggots
>>77478921say that to my face faggot
