Friendly reminder before you start thinking you actually made it to 1/2/3/4

tfw can only lift 2 swedens

>these are the only plates available
How can my gains be real if the plates aren’t real?

this is why the plate system is stupid
just say how much you are lifting in kilograms and everyone will understand

>yea i do 1.35pl8 OHP"
people will defend this

>25 sweden
that unit sounds really retarded, I'd say it's enough we got pounds and kilograms, we don't need another one

like what the fuck is wrong with you
i swear everyone who counts in plates is american
no one else would be this stupid

how many kilograms to a stone?

did you know that americans are scared of negative numbers but when it gets too cold, even their retarded farenheits go under zero lmao

Don't forget stone.
>tfw my 1rm diddly is 25.3571 stone and/or lmao3.45pl8s

>just say how much you are lifting in kilograms and everyone will understand
Lies, americlaps will explode

oi m8, that's a bloody lot
got a loicense for all those gains?

so we agree both propositions are retarded?

retarded question, I know, but
if I'm benching two 45 dumbells, am I lifting 90lbs or 45lbs?
pls just a little bully

science didnt find answer for this question yet

45 with each hand
which is about 100-110 with both

first world countries actually use the kilogram and metric systems

lol, no. there is literally only one first world country.

i hate america so much

that depends on how many reps you're doing. if you're doing 6 it's 45lbs and halves for every 5 more reps you do. It works like this

5 reps: 90lbs
10 reps: 45lbs
15 reps: 22lbs
20 reps: 11lbs

etc. etc.
The important thing is the total volume lifted. You never want to exceed 450lbs because of overtraining.

You're lifting one 45 dumbbell with each hand.

>...in the third world by brain function
yes

This
Its not even new.
>Compenstating for being weak
>Thinking people won't notice your manlet plates

when you are using barbell, there is an additional force in the middle due to the eccentric placement of the load, which helps you lift
so you are actually lifting much less then the weight is
if you are using dumbbell, the force goes straight down and you are actually lifting what the weight is

it is kg you retard, it was calibrated in sweeden

they weigh the exact same, retard. I can prove it with logic and science

>he can't count
If you are american you know a plate is 45 lbs, so instead of trying to

1/2/3/4 means multiples of bodyweight, dipshit.
Doesn't matter what plates you use.

>-10% for the hole in the middle
DYING

>he can't count
If you are american you know a plate is 45 lbs, so instead of trying to fail some unit conversion, euros know a plate is 20kg, so when they say 'i bench 2 pl8' instead of saying i bench 100kg which the american won't understand, the amrican does understand that '2pl8' means 225lbs.

this is some good troll science. start spreading this

>You never want to exceed 450lbs because of overtraining.
Can I half-rep 900lbs?

>they weight the exact same
>one is 39.6lbs the other is 46.78lbs

good work user.

there is the US, and countries that the US allows to exist. Anyone that argues otherwise is a retard.

Right. With 1/2/3/4...does it mean 1RM???

1RM for bitch mode
5RM for high school athlete with no diet and no dedication mode
8-12RM for 'I'm kinda serious about this, but I'm a GDE" mode.
Cardio-tier reps for actual strength.

No, it's a set of 10. You should be able to do it for 1rm your first time lifting.

why do you guys do this?

it's 1rm

You're placed into a cage with a hippo, a fox, and a platypus. There's the hippo, and creatures the hippo allows to exist. Does that make a hippo more valuable than you?

>also forgetting that America is China's bitch baby

It was originally for 5 when it was memed on Jow Forums. Doing it for 1 really is not "making it" IMO.

lmao it's basically the same thing when you account for how much weight you lose from the hole in the plate

What did the third world mean by this?

I'm not sure how you're qualifying America as the only first world country.

>military capacity: Russia and China could both match the US easily
>economy: India, China are close in GDP and have massively more growth
>IQ: lol
>muh freedoms: ???
>access to drinking water: fucking Uruguay beats the US by 1%

can someone explain to me what the 1/2/3/4 shit is?

the US military is the largest employer in the world and spend more money on research and defense than the next 10 nations combined. China is a paper tiger and Russia is even worse.

OHP/Bench/Squat/Deadlift, number of plates you're aiming to get on each. Or multiplier of bodyweight if you're not a pussy.

1 pl8 OHP
2 pl8 bench
3 pl8 squat
4 pl8 deadlift

Imagine being this upset that a bunch of fat retards are making your country look bad

how big is that shit?

You know, that they used the metric system to get them there?

JFL at this cope.

>economy: US dominates, India/China are still heavily resource based
>IQ: all similar
>freedoms: dont even need to say shit
>Access to drinking water: literally go to any place that sells food in the US and they will have to give you free water by law

>military capacity: Russia and China could both match the US easily
Hell no retard. Unless your talking about nukes then neither of them match up anywhere close to the US.
>much smaller and outdated navies
>much smaller and out dated air force
>conscription based army (Russia)
>gdp only slightly larger than the state of Texas (Russia)
>inferior soldier in terms of height, weight and strength (China)
The list is long, but it should be mentioned that we also have the potentional for the greatest guerilla armies is all else fails

>economy: India, China are close in GDP and have massively more growth
Except India and China are destroying their own environments for all this rapid growth. Hey but if your definition of first world nation is one that has a constant smog fog, literally half a billion street shitters, and one where half the population live in poverty then that’s your own problem

>IQ: lol
Cant speak on the subject

2A for one, but it is pretty eroded now.

NASA didn't even switch to metric fully until the 90s, the only metric used at all in the Apollo 11 mission was in the guidance computer and that was only parts of it, they converted and displayed it in US units in the end

>25 sweden
Just so you guys know, the swede measurement council defines 1 sweden as the mass of body glitter found in any swede plurigendered kid. Its about .7 kg

Sure it feels good to use many 10 ones but goddamn, who does this.

Ill never reach a 5pl8 dead lmao. My mechanics are just garbage for it.

>20
>Doing more than 10 reps of squats or deads
The madman

Had a bet with a mate of mine that I couldn't squat his bodyweight for 20 reps. Got a case of beer and a week of sore legs out of it. Moved the bar from low bar on my back to high bar half way through which left some nice marks.
Yeah deadlifts suck, some people just pick it up so quickly others it's a mad struggle.

Different letters weigh differently retard
