I went to a new gym today and all they had were these autism

>>36836533
>squat the rainbow
I think you just found this gyms new motto

>>36836533
holy shit did you look at the inside of them

I rather not know the weights and lift than see the weight and loft not real amounts.

>tfw 45pound plate weight 38 really

Fucking physics

>>36836533
If this isn't you being autistic here are some pretty simple things you can do:
>lift one up
>oh this is pretty heavy
>probably 45 lbs
or
>oh look a scale
>weigh weight
or
>wow look at the difference in size between each one
>trying to 'squat the rainbow' would probably result in a total weight of 285 which is so pathetically low that it shows that you are no where near big enough to be allowed to be that dumb

>>36836556
How the fuck would I do that? Am I supposed to cut them in half? I looked on both sides and they had nothing written on them. Not even a brand name. Literally autism: the weights.

>>36836533

5, 10, 25, 35, 45

Although I have seen gyms before without 35s, so who knows?

>>36836533

gray is 15lb, there are also very thing bright red 10lb ones

have you never seen bumper plates

>>36836533
Are you fucking dumb??? Did You now learn how much colors weigh when you were 5? Jesus Christ you poor idiot.

>>36836533
Left to right

55lbs, 45lbs, 33lbs, 25lbs, 11lbs.

Not exactly sure on the last one. My set stops at the greens and drops down to change plates.

>>36836576
I don't have scales for hands, nigga. How the fuck am I supposed to make any progress if I don't even know what I'm lifting?

>Oh great, I lifted "blue-red" today, hopefully I make it to "green-green-yellow" before the end of the month

>>36836586

Since when did they add 55s and make them red. The 45s were standard and red wtf

>>36836599

>55lbs

u wot?

>>36836616
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbell#Bumper_plates
55s are always red

>>36836599

>33
>11

What the fuck kind of system do they got going on? Ive seen like 20 different variations based on manufacturer. Which one is the official weight system?

>>36836533
45lbs
35lbs
25lbs
15lbs
10lbs

That's biggest to smallest.

>>36836632

My university has red 45s

They use 44lb blues

Just fuck my shit up senpai

>>36836599
this guy is right. makes more sense back in the glorious metric system (KG):

25 - 20 - 15 - 10 - 5

also
>>36836533
ask the staff instead of going full autismo here. Not so hard

Red - 45 lbs
Blue - 35 lbs
Yellow - 25 lbs
Green and Black - 10 lbs

45lbs or something like 44.937......... has always been blue.

>>36836681

Not if you're going by metric oly plates.

My university has the red 45s so I don't have a fucking clue anymore as to what's what.

>>36836621
25kg = 55lbs

>>36836698
No it's not. The red is 20kg fucktard

>>36836690
Do they say 45lbs? Or are they red and say 20kg

If they say 45lbs, then you just have 45lb plates and theyre not specifically made for oly lifting.

>>36836686
>>36836698

Then why are there so many fucking places in America with red 45s

Convention by Eleiko for competition plates is that red weights are 25kg or roughly 55lbs. Rogue is just translating that for us Americunts.

>>36836711

Yeah they say 45 but they're red rubber bumpers minus that cifcular metal plate

Not by Eleiko's convention. And Eleiko is pretty much the standard in olympic weightlifting and international powerlifting.

>>36836717
Again, if they say 45lbs theyre not made for Oly (although you could use them for whatever the fuck you want.) The manufacture just wanted to paint them red. It's really that simply.

If theyre OLY plates, built even a semi legitimate company, they will be color coded correctly.

/thread or why OP is a huge autistic fgt and these weights are perfect for him

Assuming no/negligible clips and a 20kg par, squatting the rainbow at autist OP's gym would be

20+2*25+2*20+2*15+2*10+2*5=170kg
=374lb

How many of you could "squat the rainbow"? I could deadlift it, but not squat

>>36836730

How much do I need to clean and jerk and snatch to enter a competition? I don't think that dude even has that much weight.

Cool, my old gym had black bumpers that said 45lbs, 25lbs, 10 lbs. Doesn't mean black means anything specific.

I have 600 lbs of Rogue Oly bumper plates (training set) and Vulcan change plates. The colors are a set standard. Anything that deviates from that standard is either wrong, or intentionally not meant to adhere to it;

>>36836745

Yeah but if he's in America they could be 45s. I've seen red 45s quits a few times at different gyms.

You can enter a competition with any numbers, it just depends on how you do. To get to higher levels you have to place and qualify via the bottomfeeder competitions. Also it's of course going to depend on your body weight.

>>36836614
You actually have to be completely new to lifting if you don't know what a 45 feels like.

>>36836533
Grays are 5s
Greens are 10s
Yellows are 25s
Blues are 35s
Reds are 45s

These are universal crossfit weights. I worked in a crossfit gym over the summer, it's customary to not have numbers on the weights as to not "discourage" the people who are working out, rather set a goal to work towards, (i.e. "today I lifted the greens! Tomorrow, we shoot for the yellows..")

It's gay as fuck, but it makes crossfit tons of fucking money. with that being said, what the hell are you doing in a crossfit gym? Don't try and lie to me boy, I know a scratchy concrete floor and neglected wooden boards for "power lifting" when I see one.

>>36836781
btw forgot to mention this is in pounds..

>>36836766

Let's say 180lbs what is your recommendation for weights to lift before entering comp. Obviously I don't expect to be a national champ or anything.

Red is 25kg according to IWF conventions, not eleiko's.
It's the olympic standard, it follows the colour of the olympic rings (they describe a 30kg black plate in the manual, but haven't really used it yet).

>>36836809

/owg/ and /plg/ have lots of experience with this. I'm sure they can help you.

As long as you can lift the bar you can compete. If your planning to compete a lot then it's better to get used to comps. You will be surprised how much you can improve after a comp

Actually lold, good job m8

Just looked up the cost of an oly set

>$4000 for some weights

what a bunch of fucking snobs. they must have some friends in high places to get the olympics to buy this bullshit.

>>36836818
>http://www.roguefitness.com/rogue-color-lb-training-2-0-plates
Except those plates OP posted aren't rogue plates, which specialize in safety for power lifters.. OP's pic shows specific cross fit weights

>>36836614
>Oh great, I lifted "blue-red" today, hopefully I make it to "green-green-yellow" before the end of the month

I do this. Only im not a fag so I know how much colors weigh.

Blue red would be 110kg and Green Green Yellow would be 90kg.

>>36836809
Well to qualify for the American Open at 85kg (assuming you bulk up your body weight) you'd need a total of around 544 lbs. 460 if you are competing for the Youth championships.

But these are the upper echelon of American competition. You can still show up to smaller meets. To be honest I can't give you a number for those meets because I mostly do powerlifting and olympic weightlifting is just a side thing/something I pay attention to at the upper levels. You're better off asking OWG

>>36836842
1. Never buy competition Oly weights, always go with the training.
2. Never buy from Eleiko unless you plan on competing in the Olympics.

>>3683653
Red = 25kg
Blue = 20kg
Yellow = 15kg
Green = 10kg
Gray/black = 5kg

This is pretty much the international standard for weightlifting and powerlifting.

>>36836842

That's a competition set bby. It's highly calibrated to the minimum details for world-class competition.
That's why it's expensive.

Training sets are cheaper. Though still expensive from big brands like Eleiko, as they also have a big standard when it comes to calibrating the training plates.

Here's their training set
http://www.eleikoshop.com/collections/complete-sets/products/eleiko-olympic-wl-training-set-men-190-kg-rc-colored

Keep in mind the price includes the also very expensive top-tier bar, and that those plates are made from very expensive rubber. There are cheaper ones.

>>36836892

you hang out in /oly/ so tell me what do my lifts need to be at?

That turkroach is only doing like 245 and he looks pretty official.

>>36836892
fuck off you deranged mental case

>>36836912

Go to smaller competitions. You'll be surprised at how well you can rank even with low numbers.

Then you progress from there. No reason to worry about how much you need for nationals if you haven't even participated in a small meet yet.

Do it!

>>36837362
As this thread seems to indicate, that's way way easier than understanding the coloring of weights...

>>36836533
Those look like the strange ones at my gym. Unlike the typical configuration of 25kg for red, 20kg for blue, 15kg for yellow and 10kg for green, the ones at my gym are 20kg red, ~16kg (35lb) blue, 25 pound yellow, 10 pound green. They look to be about the right size for that configuration as well. The gym I'm at now is I suppose my fourth gym, but it's the first time I'd ever seen that configuration of weights, and I think yours might be the same, OP. They have a sign up at my gym listing the colour and the weight, because it isn't marked on them.

>>36836533
Red 45
Blue 35
Yellow 25
Green 10

Those look like oly plates.

Red ones are 25 kilos, blue 20, yellow fifteen and green 10. Imagining those tiny ones on the far right are five, which is weird as they're usually small and metal.

>>36836533

You're lucky you fucking asshole. I wish my gym had more of these, and a neat rack to keep them in. In my gym all the plates are completely random on the rack and I have to dig through 20 kilos plates just to find the 2,5 ones.

>>36836533
Red is 25 kg, blue is 20 kg, yellow is 15 kg, green is 10 kg, black is 5 kg. Have you really never seen those before?
