How is one supposed to progress by 2.5 lbs if there are no 1.25

Put collars on and damn that ass is juicy

2.5 plate goes on one side, grip slightly closer to the heavier side.

Or buy a set of micro weight plates.

Get those shitty mom-tier wrist/ankle weights.

Use clips for extra weight :^)

>>35618786
Buy your own 1.25 plates, they cost less than $5 usually.

Or you could just fill two bags with 1.25lbs of pennies each and tie them to either side of the bar.

is this safe to do? Lol

>>35618786
Do fewer reps.

>>35618910
Yes but it's hard to find the specific hand placement that gives you an equal force output through both arms

Ι recently started laggin on my lifts and I realized that I was stupid enough to not think the lbs part and I was adding 1.25kg(the smallest plates in my gym) on each side for the lifts. Well obviously deadlifts and squats weren;t a problem but my bench fucking stalled at 70kg 3x5 and ohp at 50kg 3x5. Do you think that the +2.5kg total was a big reason that this happened ?

>>35618786
Use one liter milk bottles filled with water. Tie them to the bar with string. Who gives a fuck about half a kg?

>>35618786
i just use my towel to wrap the 2.5lb plate on the middle of the bar, looks autistic as fuck but it works.

Yes i bought microplates for xmas and i smashed thru plateaus with them esp on the fucking bench man, i had to be stuck on 155 for 3x5 for like 1 month, got micros and im doin 162.5 tmmrw for 5, ohp also went up too

Get 2 20 oz bat weights.
Bought some a few months ago for 8 bucks.

Micro loading is insanely helpful for beginners. Not many people realize that

Are there any pic where her clitoris is visible?

>>35618786
progress by 5 pounds then. Even if they did have 1.25lb weights how would you progress by 1.25 pounds then?

>>35620011
>wat?

>>35618786
You can consciously add your own strength to the weights e.g. push down a little on ohp and bench

>>35620011
Just tie the weight to the middle of the bar dumbass.

7.50 + shipping.

Although you might get weird looks for bringing your own plates to a commercial gym.

>>35618786
Put a 5 on one side and switch each set

>>35618786
Hold 2.5 in teeth

thanks, I'll try it next time I bench

i just get a bag of sand and tape one of my dick rings over the sand and use the ring as the hanger

seems relevant to post in this thread
I love dips, but I can do so many dips that I need to add weight so I've been dipping with a dumbbell between my feet but at high weights it becomes awkward
the dipping station isn't very high so I have to bend my legs
I thought the gym would have some weighted vest but it doesn't seem like it does, it has this seemingly retarded vest though

anyway, whats a good dip belt?
