How do I not look like a bitch loading up 2.5lb plates?

Don't listen to this shit bait, don't reduce your workout volume for such a retarded reason.

Throw them at the bar like it's ring toss and then say "heh heh d'you see that shit?" to the nearest cardio bunny when you make one

>Implying 25lbs of volume makes a difference.

You'll move in excess of a ton in an easy workout 25lbs is irrelevant to your muscle groups.

just do it

Throw them on top of whatever weight you are doing as a little treat to yourself

who would even remotely care if you put the big plates first and then some smalls on top? do people subconsciously ignore the big plates or what gives?

maintain eye-contact on anyone who looks at you until he looks away

real talk breh

if you benchin pretend to do some rotator cuff warmup or some shit n when no ones lookin slap em on the bar

for squats or deads.... shieeet

O god, im a dyel

I stalled on those for months, no onw cared

Curl them while you walk from the weight stand to the rack

By benching 225 lbs and not giving a fuck what some other dudes in the gym are thinking

Stop talking like a nigger

Dont listen to this cuck OP. Progress at whatever pace works for you.

As you put it on, loudly yell:
>"Wow what a small 10lbs weight"
After you put both on, turn around and yell:
>"Finally got that extra 20 lbs loaded up"
After you finished your reps you scream:
>"All that extra weight sure helped me maximize my set"

Or you can grow a pair of balls and focus on putting your energy into your muscles instead of your neuroticism.

Only novices and morons knock microplates. They’re there for a good reason user

t. butthurt ageing cracker

wish my gym had 1kg plate is super hard to progress

Take 2kg of something with you retard. Or ask the gym to get some. They must be cheap af

Eat 1kg of stuff before working out, problem solved

>ageing
t. typical uneducated nigger

Enjoy your no gains cuck

TIL Veeky Forums is so insecure that they think other people care about which plates they load up.

>leaving humanity behind

>start lifting
>stall on ohp
>pick up 2.5s to try and make some progress
>shuffle goes to pillar man theme
>feel immense amounts of depression and worthlessness
>change song and put on the 2.5s
>can't do it
>cheat and do push presses
>go home
>cry
>never gonna make it

>TIL
Go back to Redd!t and stay there.

Get a set and work out at home where only your dog and cat can judge you.

Jesus Christ I love this board.

I judge people who don't use small plates.
I assume they're just throwing a single plate on and thinking "That's enough" rather than having any progression in mind.

by not giving a fuck what other people think

only valid response

fpbp

Don’t worry OP. Just do it. Fuck everyone else.
I only use microplates. Now bench 225 5x5. Only problem is it takes so long loading up each side with these bad boys. I now arrive 45 mins early to scavenge for my microplates

Nigger, how the fuck does pillar men theme make you feel depressed? What are you even saying. You must be low test.

if you bench 185+ 2.5's are acceptable

Just hold them in your mouth and save the trouble.

For squats and dead lift I like to hold them on my erection
