Why the fuck do Americans use 45lbs plates?
Are you cunts actually retarded or what?
In Australia we use 20kg/44lbs plates. Because all competitions (yea even in America) use kg, not lbs.
Whose the fat fuck burger that decided to mass produce 45lbs plates?
Fucking idiots
>44 lbs = 19.95 kg
Stay weak, sissy aussie
Because Americans are stronger than weak european cucks so we one upped you and lift more weight per plate.
>What's reading comprehension?
Carthagian navy was way superior
1 pl8 =135 lbs in the us
1pl8 =133lbs in Australia, assuming the bar is the same. If its also 20 kg tye total weight is 132lbs
Has Australia ever won a Olympic, WSM, or Mr. Olympia?
Lmaoing at your weak lifts.
Beta Aus-"I benched 2 plates"
Lmfao when you realize that's only 220 pounds. Cuck Aussies
Weight is highly altered on the surface of the moon. Not that an Australian would ever be able to make it to the moon

*laughs in Latin*
oops
This thread is not about your gay ass Romans you fucking autists.
Question. In videos where Americans refer to "kilo" plates being more accurate in terms of calibration, are they referring to a specific brand of plates or are all kg plates just more accurate in general?
Roman's beat them with a ragtag handful of ships they built in a couple weeks
Romans had superior infantry. They used them in ship warfare too.
>itt: fucking burgers who have ever put their "45lb" plates on a scale...
xd im laughing my ass off irl
oopsie
Who would win:
>The Phoenician Navy, manned by rugged veterans of hundred of battles at sea
or
>some wood and pulleys
>Itt DYEL euros from Jow Forums literally cannot stop obsessing over americans
I bet you dont even press lmao1plate
this thread is an australian shitpost, as is customary from those inbred faggots. So might as well just go wild with whatever I wish in it. And you can kiss my ass because you can't do anything about it.
hope you like salt, faggot
>oops
Calibrated kilo plates are calibrated.
These are made by Rogue, Titex, Eleiko, Ivanko, and Bull.
There could be other calibrated plate manufacturers that I didn't list, but a kilo plate and a calibrated plate aren't the same thing. You'll hear Americans use it near interchangeably because no American gym would go out of their way and buy non-calibrated kilo plates.
Did they? I thought it was their insane determination and manpower that got them through the first few hundred years of warring.
The salting of Carthage is a myth
They're selling the same plates with different labels because nobody wants 20.x kg or 44.y lbs plates. Jesus.
Are you faggots autistic? The OP Diagram is of Greeks, not Romans.
Never said it was Roman. All I said was that Carthagian navy was superior because it was.
I have 4 pairs of 20kg/44lbs plates, all cast-iron.
I weighed them all and they're all 20.2kg. Even the cast-iron 10kg I have are 10.1kg.
Did they do this to account for plate-degradation?
Because americans are stronger than WEAK yuros so we can lift more.
Also we're richer so we can afford an extra pound of material.
Bros, I want you to imagine what it's like to be a non American. I know it must be hard to think about living in that absolute filth and squalor, but that's why their so jealous of us. Please try and understand before you insult any of the non Americans here, their lives are already so miserable.
What I find confusing is the existence and common usage of 25kg plates.
If 1pl8 is 20kg, then just use 20kg plates so we can easily count how many pl8's you're pulling.
all the wikipedia historians in this thread, jesus christ
