1 plate in Europe is 20kg
1 plate in USA is 45lbs
Does this mean Americans are stronger?

1 plate in russia is 25 kg
No, they are the same weight plates. Americans are misled by the 45lb labels. If you weighed them they would weigh 20kg as that is the standard all decent weights are made to
Yes europoors are all weak and effeminate, aside from the Syrian refugees
My shitty gym uses both 45lb and 20kg plates
How would that work? I thought the difference in definition could only come from conversion rounding.
Is it just that when you tell someone you lift 1pl8 they understand that you lift 70 kg instead of 60 kg?
>This level of cope from the Yuropoors
45 is a bigger number than 20, idiot
people dont actually say I lift 1 pl8 over here
It means that you should fuck off burgerfaggot
it just means that burgers a e statting harder
Yes it is well done. However your 45lb plates actually weigh 44lbs or 20kg. So your paying for 45lbs but getting 44lbs
stupid fucking yuropoors..
The truth is that unless you're using something very high quality like Eleiko olympic plates, you're not getting what it says on the plate.
>University gym in the UK has Eleiko plates
>Gym I go to at home in the US uses shitty random plates in lbs that are absolutely not what they say they are
It's annoying as fuck to deal with. Can't just do a straight conversion, because the plates at home are way lighter.
One plate is 25kg here in Hungary, aswell.
>tfw stronger than amerifats
My gym has 2.5, 5, 10, 25, 50 (blue), 55 (red)
So I always use to think 1/2/3/4 meant the 50lbs bllue plates, so 145/245/345/445.
Actually, it means the US is experiencing sever inflation and the net power unit per square inch is less than 20KG plates because Americans need more units to reach the same result
Incorrect
the blues are 45lbs bro
we don't refer to weights as plates here generally, we just say the #of kilos
Plate in Sweden = 25 kg. (Thats 55 lbs)
Weigh it
I did
It's 45 pounds, not 20
The weights are heavier the further you are from the equator, so a person lifting the same mass in Brazil, for example, would be weaker than someone doing it in, say Norway
...
No you didn't.
I know you're not actually retarded but obviously people don't use the number of plates on the bar as a metric of weight and actually go by the kg/lb and that's why this thread is garbage
So if I lift it on the USE I'd be the strongest guy around??
>Virgin European plates: use imprecise metric system, sorted by color and not size, easier to fake
>Chad American ballast: use more precise imperial system unique to their country, have a natural hierarchy by plate size, easy to see dyels from afar, weighs more
Well when you take into account the weight you're missing from the hole in the plate it pretty much evens out anyway.
No, you have to consider that gravity is stronger in Europe. A 2 plate bench in Europe equals a 2.5 plate bench in USA.

also i hope this is bait

Perhaps start out with something easier.
What's 3 x 9 and why is it the only relevant thing in your post?
