what do you mean by plates?

>>38096487
plates means how many fucking plates you absolute moron

I walked into the weight room at my gym today and heard that enormous clanging sound that can only come from someone slamming the weights on a cable machine. I look over and lo and behold, I see a skeleton doing something resembling exercise. I still cannot figure out what the FUCK this guy was doing. Maybe you guys can help me out?

He had a cable machine pinned to the top position. His body posture looked as if he was 90% into a squat - upper legs almost parallel with the ground, back straight. Except he was doing something that someone else might mistake for tricep extensions. His arms were way out in front of his body, and he was sort of... squatting along as he used his arms, so it was sort of a full-body motion bringing the cable down even though it looked like he was aiming to use his arms. It's hard to describe because I can't fathom what the hell he was actually trying to do.

He was wearing one of those stringy, super-loose tank tops despite having the physique of an unnaturally tall 11 year old boy, slamming the shit out of the weights while flailing around doing some sort of activity I'm not quite able to comprehend. Can anyone tell me wtf I was seeing?

He would rise slightly from his half-squat when letting the weights fall, let them drop at full speed, and then squat slightly and straighten his arms to raise them again

literally no idea

Not that anon, but hello, metric system here. An Olympic bar is 20 kg, and standard plates are also 20kg, although 25kg plates are not uncommon in gyms.

>>38096374

because its used literally nowhere other than on a small population on /fit/.

hey man hows ur x/z/d/q/r/s?

wat do u mean u don't understand my arbitrary and meaningless assignment of letters to represent potentially anything.

>>38096487
Plates = 45lb (sometimes 50lb) metal discs which are placed onto either end of a metal bar via the hole in the centre of the disc.

This way when someone lifts the bar, it's heavier than it would be without these space age contraptions towards either end.

>>38097055
>standard plates are also 20kg

Oh you mean EXACTLY like the standard plates in the USA that weight 45lb

Protip: 20kg = 44lb, and if you're going to complain about that one pound just fuck off.

>>38096919
Thanks anon, thats all i ever wanted

>>38094504
Only skinny fucbois at gym with crew cut and shitty yeezy shoes. Only stay there for Snapchat and to hit on the 17 about to turn 18 year olds girls. Brings his own Bluetooth speaker to blast his shitty music and mix it with the gyms shitty house music. All the natties and fatties both want them out. It also smells of stanky balls and mall cologne

>>38097092
Why the aggression, I am well aware of that. But similar to the other anon I was at some point curious what plate size you imperial fags were referencing and whether it was different to those common here.

>>38097046
That's an exercise for lower back, poorly done

This reminds me of that one /fit/izen who would do those "Free 3-Day Trials" while bulking so hard he would look practically obese.

>>38098067

Wow..

Bar = 45 lbs, plate (2x) one on each side 45 lbs.
1pl8 = 45bar + (45 + 45)pl8 = 135.
Add 90 lbs per pl8, 225, 315, 405.

>>38098146
Haha please tell more.

I actually understand why there is so much agression and hate in this thread. Most people here are fat fucks, they dont lift, they "work their ass off" (do nothing but look ugly to other people)

You guys are literal cancer in the gym. I hate you so much, I asked my friend working in the management to ban these types of people. Listen to this:
>fat fuck smells like Chernobyl mixed with cat piss
>he goes squat and bicep only
> fucking dyel faggot, ill show him
>he sits on his phone, browsing FUCKING FIT
>i cum to him
>"hello fatfuck, i like 4chan too, you need help"
>"um no im okay"
>continues to rest for like 5 minutes browsing 4chin
>my bronad tells me to talk to manager, roiding beast with tribal tattoos, thumbless because of incident back in 2004
>i tell him
>he comes and tells that faggot he smells
>he bans him out of the gym lmao
>i enter gym locker room
>he crying
>kicking in locker room doors
>FUCKING KEK

Man wtf is wrong with /fit/ nowadays, it's filled with dyel newfags that just want to be spoonfed. Goddamn I swear these faggots should just read the sticky, fuck off for a few months, then post when they actually have experience lifting for a few months. Fuck.

>>38097550
Man was I lost when I first came to /fit/..

When people explain everything they are taking away the newfags joy of finally finding out by themselves

This. I look at old pictures to remind myself that I'm never going back

>>38096707
I do similar for rear delta but very controlled and not squatting that far. With a very controlled movement you isolate the rears very well and I hate rear flys that's why.

>>38096919
What bitch counts the bar.

>>38098146
I remember that guy. He would do that around New Year's to antagonize PTs.

>>38097055
Yer metric too I just assumed each plate was around 50kg for the last year now haha.

>>38098164
That's about it. He did it around N.Y. with all the resolutioners to fuck with people.
