My gym doesn't have 1.25lb plates, what`s an alternative?

Live somewhere they dont use retard measurements

Lifting

Large washers.

buy some of your own

Make the increase with 2.5s and accept that you'll fail a few reps when you do. Try the weight again next time. If you hit your goal, then repeat.

Count the plate collars

Spare change.

3x 0.416666666666666667 plates ya dingus :p

there are a couple of things you can do to retain that weight in your body so you don't need 1.25 lbs plates
-not shit
-eat
-drink

>doing bench press
>take a shit
>the lift becomes easier to perform
??

yeah it only works with squats
probably
you're gonna have to find a workaround to get it to work for other exercises

Just buy a pair of your own and keep them in your gym bag. You can probably get a used pair from craigslist or a garage sale for $5.

just buy them and bring them with you

Did you check the manlet pit? That's where my gym keeps them

Increase your reps on the last set till you can lift more

Or just buy your own and bring em

Duct tape 1.25L bottles of water to the bar.

but 1.25 kgs of water doesn't weight as much as 1.25 kgs of iron

4 5' s
5'
s

be a collars goblin and put like 3 on each side

or just order a pair off amazon for like 20 bucks.

of course you uneducated fuck, ist 20 grams more because of the bottle

>collars goblin
wait is that what happened to my gym's?

>counting the bottle

A large magnet

Make your own microweights. These weigh about 620g each.

Yeah, it's like a reverse squat plug.
When squatting keeping your rectum tight helps, when benching letting your shits flow freely helps.

use 4 collars on each side

or ask your gym to buy some

ask gym to buy some or make your own
i made my own with links of chain and zip ties

Only reason to be using 1.25lb pl8's is to put them in a pot and grow them into a real fucking pl8. do you even fucking lift

Add a few reps before you increase in weight, problem solved you're welcome user

kek

you fuck

Aren't there magnetic weights out there for very small increments?

pierce a butter log with the bar.

Use ONE 2.5 plate and grip the bar ever so slightly offcenter. I could calculate the perfect spot to grip, but I'm too lazy right now.
>t. engineer

Lol this is the best take OP

This is what I do as well. You don't even need to grip off center if the weight is heavy enough; the moment arm doesn't change that much.
I usually shift like maybe half a finger width just to keep my head right.

You ever try benching when you have to shit?
It aint easy bro

just do more reps, instead of being an autist?

That's why I absolutely hate to work out abs. I have to fart and burp the whole time

benching is easy. try squatting or deadlifting when you have to shit

Lmao!

Skip taking a shit

What I truly dislike is setting up for incline dumbbell press.... and your glutes start to cramp.

>it just ain't fair

2,5lbs plates

Getting a pair of testicles. Or at least one.

lol

buy them yourself, they're cheap.

Become stronger, use the next size up. But that requires measurable improvement, something OP never displays.

Cut a 2.5 lb plate in half and tape a half to each side of the bar

Growing a pair.

zozzle

Double dubs confirm

>tfw no 0.75 lb plates

a slightly downwards drift of air

This is the only answer. I have a set i keep in my gym bag and I spray painted my initials on

Lift more
