Are those disks standardized, so each one is always 50 pounds? (I assume 5 pounds for the pole)

[–] scutiger 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Usually 45 lbs per plate, and 45 lbs for the bar.

Actually since they are red, usually means they are actually 55 lbs not 45. So in theory she's probably lookin at 485..

55lbs per red plate. 4 on each side, then 45 for the bar. Girls lifting 485!

Plus that extra plate on her right side

[–] Guest_User 1 points 1 year ago

That's just the side of the end plate, not a different plate

Red plates are 45 lbs at LA Fitness, purple are 55 lbs.

Standardized red plates are always 25kg. In IWF, IPF and even USPA. Crossfit in the US uses pounds, but even there red is 55lb. So four slabs = 220kg.

[–] DanglingFury 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In reality, size wise, thise are closer to 25lb plates. The 45lb plates are like 16" diameter

True. She is only cranking out what 295? She needs to get some protein shakes going.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Is there any way to tap those shakes directly to an IV? This weakness i am, I should do something about it.

Frizzle has me looking skinnier than ever.

If they were on Earth the answer would be yes
