Strength training for the puny

[finnegan]

Yeah, but it's not a P4P race now is it?

Ah, fuck it, I'll take you all on, first to 400, let's go beyotches!

No fare! Its 5 AM here. I'm in no condition to deadlift!

4 plates =405lbs

4 plates =405lbs

No shit?

My point was that racing to 405 seemed kinda odd as i'm lifting on metric plates, so it seems a lot more sensible to race to 400lbs as it's a nice round number. 405 only has significance if you're lifting on 45lb plates.

 

[Zerocrew1984]

so it would have more significance to more people. i mean honestly, who really lifts with those silly light kg plates.....

400lbs isn't significant?

 

[Zerocrew1984]

i mean it is, it really is....but just 5 lbs more to get the 4 plates puts it on a whole different level, but since im not in this comp i'll just sit it out.

side note, i'm really really unfamiliar with kg's. how many plates would 400 be to you? how much does the bar weigh?


i'm starting to feel silly with this av

Goddamn, Zero, its not that hard. Plates are 20 kilos, which is 44lbs. Bar is also 20kg. Therefore, 4 plates a side plus 20 for the bar is 180kg x 2.205=396.9 lbs. 182.5kg would be 402.4lbs, and 185kg is 407.9lbs.

Savvy?

 

[Zerocrew1984]

yeah i know the number to convert(2.205), i just never knew/saw how much the main plate and bar weighed. thanks dexter

 

[SmashiusClay]

Unfortunately my plates are Ivanko and eleiko bumpers so they're a collection of 50kgs, 25kgs, 20kgs, 15kgs and 10kgs so 4 plates is anywhere between 100 and 420kgs. Still, does mean you get a rainbow coloured bar.

 

[Zerocrew1984]

i feel dexter was yelling at me for being a neanderthal or something....

 

[dexter c]

I have rejected this 'kilogram revolution' and decided instead to become fluent in both weight systems, in an attempt to end the unseemly slaughter of S&P brethren on the battlefield of weights and measures. Alternatively, I can go between kilos and pounds quite easily.

My double system posting was an attempt at diplomacy, hell I even offered this challenge in imperial measures.
