What are the proper names for all the plates?

Two and a half pound plate

Thot half quarters, obviously

My gym buddy and I use president names
5 - Jimmy
10 - Johnny
25 - Willy
35 - JFK
45 - Donny

And then just any other foreign leader is a 2.5

literally this
>but muh Veeky Forums humor!!

This except 25 is called a half plate

I like this but Donald Trump isn't a real president because the Russians hacked the election.

Fuck this foot inch pound gallon bullshit. Fuck you all, I'm so tired of browsing this fucking board with a google tab on my secondary converting all your garbage stone measurements.

45 = Plate
35 = 35s
25 = Quarters
10 = Dimes
5 = 5s
2.5 = Lays Chips Bags
1.25 = Literal Bag of Air

Must suck to be a europoor

Oh fuck no, absolutely not. For lifting, metric is so much better. I wouldn't swap to imperial even if I you paid me.

Some guy came up to me in the gym and asked if had any nickels I assumed he was talking about 2.5 lbs cause they're small like nickels so I told him I didn't have any 2.5s
>tfw whole stack of 5s next to me

>the gym capitalist changed the prices on the plate dispenser
>35 is now a plate
>you have to pay extra for a 45 "premium plate"
>can't afford to deadlift twice a week anymore

any sugguestions on how to keep my back looking thicc?

US, but work in science. I'm familiar with metric and all, and it's useful in that respect, but I don't really see the practical use in people's day to day with it other than being on the same standard with other countries. Hell, it's never taken advantage of completely anyway. I never see people use anything beyond kilo,cent, and milli anyway.

Find metal chains in a scrap yard that will add weight.

Buy second hand plates?

It's proportional. That's all you need to know to be fair. I just have a much easier ride navigating kilo, liter, kilometer and their juniors than juggling imperial. If I put my mind to it I probably could, but with metric everything is completely effortless because everything is balanced.

No can do, the gym merchants installed metal detectors to prevent this from happening.

my mom used to bodybuild and she always calls 45s a "wheel"

i always thought that was kinda cool

>25+25=50
>"Half Plate"

45 = Plate or Wheel
35 = Useless
25 = Quarter or Half
10 = Ten
5 = Five
2.5 = cookie
1.25 = Who the fuck actually uses this shit?

>any sugguestions on how to keep my back looking thicc?
Do actual back lifts.

>no wife and baby daughter to cheer me on as I crush PRs
;_; h-hold me bros

45 = Big boy plate
35 = Just get a 25 and a 10
25 = Half plate
10 = Frisbee
5 = Fidget Spinner
2.5 = Cookie
1.25 = Clip

>1.25 = Who the fuck actually uses this shit?
Wait 'til you start moving real weight and need change plates to make gains.

2.5 = building block

t. 245 test

Unless you are using calibrated plates, which even many powerlifting gyms don't have, average quality uncalibrated plates are like +/- 5% so if you are doing 2pl8, it could vary from like 210-235 anyway.

Wait 'till you're not doing linear novice programs and need to actually vary volume and work load throughout the week/month and don't ever use your little tea cup plates again.

We used fatass food names. Basically it's about the diet, like the joke being that this is the only pizza or cookie or whatever you'll get.

45-pizza
35-cake
25-pie
10-biscuit
5-cookie
2.5-choc chip (the plates are black at my gym)

We always would call the 2.5s cookies

45 = plate
35 = ok baby plate, whatever
25= half plate
any less = fag

...

>haha i was just pretending to be retarded

45 plate
35 cookie
25 half plate
/thread

>plate dispenser

45 - wheel
35 - mini wheel
25 - quarter
10 - dime
5 - nickel

>45=pl8
>35=meat
>25=biscuit
>10=nugget
>5=lol
>2.5=lol

>"slap some meat on those 2pl8s"
>"just add a nugget"
>"that weight looks too light, think you need an extra biscuit for your next set"

Can communicate like this with my lil bro and his lifting partner if we happen to be benching together or something.

american education

45 = What

american math

>can't do basic math in his head

Shut up, Alan Thrall.

I call the 2.5's "Oreos"

>45 = Plate
>35 = "Baby" Plate
>25 = Quarter
>10 = Dime
>5 = Nickel
>2.5 = Cunt
>1.25 = "Micro" Plate

35's = "fake 45's"

In pounds
45 = plates
35 = yellows
25 = greens
10 = dimes
5 = nickels
2.5 = two and a halfs

>45 - 45
>35 - fake 45

But, user, "biscuit" is already used for blues.

2.5 must be putin

>this
Dom Mazzetti coined 35's "fake 45's"

>45 = Plate
>35 = "Baby" Plate
>25 = Little bitch plate
>10 = Little bitch plate
>5 = Little bitch plate
>2.5 = Little bitch plate
>1.25 = "Micro" Plate

I like to call the 2.5 a chip
