nah you know what i think you're right. your neck and shoulders just seem to round a bit at the beginning of the concentric phase but i think its just fatigue setting in. i only notice it in the latter reps

100kg is 220lbs

2 plates is 225 right?
Some plates here in England say 20 then under it on the other side of the weight, 45lbs
Same as in America...

Either English cba to put 20.45454545kg
Or American rounded it up.

e/someone also said

Im in UK also and have been in a few gyms over the years, i dont know why the Americans use 45 pounders but our plates were always 50lbs but changed to 20kg -i assume so that manufacturers could produce one line instead of two.

any gym i have ever been to have plates that say 45 lbs on top and 20.4 kg on bottom.

kg are kg and lbs are lbs lol....no rounding. 20kg is 44 lbs. bars are 20kg/44lbs about anywhere outside the US.

We only have real plates at our gym (90% eleiko, and sadly some ghey shitplates), so it only says the weight in exact kg, no lbs what so ever.

Well yeah, but since there is some slight rounding, we can agree to use the same numbers. Obviously the difference increases as the weight gets heavier, but since nobody here moves that heavy weights we can leave it at that.

For example you can squat 140kgs and say you squatted 315 instead of 308, for the sake of clarity.



I did at first too. Then I thought we're providing numbers so people can gauge an approximate of ours, and started using their plates numbers
