If you are in the act of lifting you should not be looking at the numbers.

Damn, really? So that’s what I’ve been doing wrong.
I always use same type on each side I have found at highest 15% diff in weight between brands!
I’m confussed?
The plates at my gym have the weight written on both sides. There is no difference between the plate faces - the plates are symmetrical!
WTF?! Are ‘offical’ olympic plates different?
Had to keep this thread alive…

What are you talking about? Of course they’re not symmetrical! One plate has a scratch on its side while the other has two scratches.[/riding along]
