What’s happening in here? I look away for a few weeks and suddenly you’re pressing 2 plates?

I consider this to be very high praise coming from you, so thanks for that. I will have to work on repping stuff in the 90s first and see what happens.

It’s BECAUSE you are looking away, mate. I do everything just to spite you.

I assumed as much. In many ways, I should take credit for that 2 plate Press.

You really should, consider it a shared PR.

I legit struggle with the logs in KG here because it’s just numbers, but 100kg will always stand out and be wow-worthy.

For some reason, I take it for granted that the experienced lifters around here can auto-convert kilos to pounds, which is a pretty dumb assumption honestly. I should do like @simo74 and convert some of the topsets as a public service.

I can do the quick math, but I really just look for milestone. I’m actually the same with pounds. I see 405 and I pay attention. I see 415 or 395? I glaze over.

4177

That’s actually kinda funny, because a four plate whatever converts closer to 395 in when the plates are in kilo (like 396 or something)…so I focus on that and ignore the other numbers.

Freedom units or nothing!

I now will refer to weights in units of eagles. Eagles are equivalent to pounds in weight but inherently more badass.

I mean your press PR is only like 16 stone - no big deal…

FR though, great work.

These units always made me laugh.
Do people really say they weigh “14.7628 stone” do they super round up? Or down? Or what.

I would always round up.
When I watched a lot of rugby they usually listed player weights in the closest half stone.

No rounding needed you just say how many stone and the lbs. Of you weight 200 lb you would say I am 14stone 4.

I weigh in stone, then convert to lbs for my log, because only about 3 people would have a clue what I meant otherwise, for the weights lifted I leave them in kg because that’s just legit and lbs are stupid (apart from for weighing bodyweight then they are legit and kg are stupid).

@Cyrrex congrats on the amazing work in here and recent prs you are indeed smashing lifting despite being advance in years and weight, I applaud you sir!
