Question

>>38645267
1 pl8=1 45 pound plate

So for example, if you bench 135 pounds (i.e. one plate on each side of the bar) then you bench 2pl8

We are talking about how you control portions. If someone says that they can "lift one plate" it means they eat one plate of food per meal, "two plates" = two plates of food, etc.

>>38645283
No fucking way... you fucking faggots keep saying all the time "I'm lifting 2pl8s like a boss"...
That's just fucking 60Kg, how the fuck can someone brag about lifting just 60Kg?
I'm seriously disappointed, I thought 2pl8 was some badass weight.

>>38645326
Half of these lankets are only 60kg themselves.

>>38645283
So benching 1 pl8 means that you put a 45 on one side an no weight on the other? Impressive.

>>38645283
Wait is this actually serious? do you guys consider 1pl8 to just lift 45 lbs? not counting the bar ofc.

>>38645349
It is how you work your upper left norweigen deltquads while doing bench.

>>38645365
>>38645365
Can you guys decide? What is the weight of 1pl8 and the weight of 2pl8???
You can't just say 1pl8/2pl8 without knowing the weight you're talking about, right?

What should I assume my bar weight to be if I lift/squat with machines?

>>38645283
I bench 3 plates. -ll-------l-

What's the 2pl8 weight???

>>38645349
No, the bar weighs 45, which means an empty bar is 1pl8

>there are people in this thread right now who count the bar

i bet you also did SS

Found it faggots:

1pl8 = 40Kg
-|------|-

2pl8 = 80Kg
-||-----||-

Quads = 160Kg
-||||-----||||-

>>38645461
100kg
Two 20kg plates at the both ends of the bar = 4*20kg + 20kg bar

>>38645461
225, 2pl8s on each side.
thats why 1,2,3,4 makes sense
1 plate on each side ohp
2 plate each side bench
3 quat
4 deadlift

>>38645491
Explain to an actual newfag (because this isnt in the sticky): why would you not count all the weight youre lifting?

>>38645519
You don't count the fucking bar. 2pl8 is 80kg

Fuck, I thought you guys bench'd 2plates on each side of the bar, now I don't feel so weak.

But then, what is to deadlift 3plates? 1 + 0.5plate each side?

>>38645535
yes, additional to the bar , i.e. 100kg

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as 2pl8, is in fact, bar/2pl8, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, bar plus 2pl8. 2pl8 is not a fitness system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning bar system made useful by the bar corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full weightlifting system as defined by /fit/.

>>38645542
>half a plate

how would that even stay on the bar you idiot?

you put 2 plates on the right side and one on the left then alternate the third plate every workout so you don't look like someone who masterbates 20+ times each day

>>38645575
I'm idiot indeed (and we don't use this plate/lbs system in my country) but this looks stupid. Why don't put the same weight both sides?

Per example: 20kg plate + 10kg plate each side until you can do 40kg each side

>>38645542
pretty much

>>38645399

1pl8 = 135

2pl8 = 225

3pl8 = 315

You seriously don't have 0.5 plates at your gym?
it's like a toonie. you use the whole thing for 1pl8, and when you want half pl8, you pop the innard out, so you're left with the outer halfpl8

>>38645604
>10kg plate

just like ukraine, no such thing

>>38645619
>he said, posting the respective weights in actual meme units

>>38645619
fukken this

repping a bar 135 times is 1pl8

Clearly there's no agreement on what 1pl8 means, but I agree with >>38645619

this guy is right

>>38645283
this guy is a next level troll

>>38645619
>ignore the memers
>uses meme units

jesus fucking christ.

1pl8 is 60kg, a 20kg plate on each side + a 20kg bar. 2pl8 is 100kg - two 20kg plates on each side of a 20kg bar. cant explain it better than this.

What the fuck now I hate plates.

So how can someone ohp .5pl8 you dip

>You don't count the bar
Beyond retarded, bars weigh and you move them. That's like not counting the grip of the dumbbell.

Op, (x)pl8 is doing a lift with that many full plates on each side. 1pl8 is 135, 2pl8 is 225, 0pl8 is 45lbs

>>38645714

*Because the bar weighs 45lbs.

I think that OP needs this explanation.

My smith machine looks more like this one, should I still switch to free weights? Or is the bar weight good enough?

>>38645730
>Why isn't 1L 1m^3
Because it's 1dm^3 you americuck

>>38645722
I use whole less plates to keep the math simple

>>38645510
>quads = double of 2pl8
no
If 2pl8 + bar is 80 then adding 2 more played won't double it.

>>38645730
why isn't 1L = 1 m^3?

I uh, I don't know what to tell you anon.

For Amercans that are not aware

1L = 1dm^3

A lift's weight in pounds is equal to 90(plate)+45. To convert to plates, use ((pounds)-45)/45.
Eurofags and canucks need not reply to me, quit pretending you're lifting 2 pl8 when you're lifting 5 pounds less.

No dude.

Each pl8 is 20Kg.
2pl8 is 80Kg.
Quads is 160Kg.
Not counting the 20Kg bar.

You should, don't listen to the memer

>>38645795
>((pounds)-45)/45
/90, I meant.

>>38645795
1 pl8 also includes bar, I think.

Apparently I diddly 3 pl8, I thought I was weaker than that teebz

>Eurocucks can't even cleanly divided their basic unit of length by three

Fuck me please stop mangling my language

>>38645575
>implying they don't make plates smaller than 45 pounds
One pl8 is bar plus a twenty and a 2.5 on each side
Two pl8 is a 45 on each side
Three pl8 is a 45, a 20, and a 2.5 on each side
Four pl8 is two 45s on each side

>>38645714
Toppest of keks. Your hands have weight, do you add them to your bench?

1pl8 is either 60kg or 135lbs. It includes the bar. One plate on each side = 1pl8.

>>38645326
That isn't 2pl8. 2pl8 is either 100kg or 225lbs. That guy was fucking with you.

>>38645832
Are you fucking listening to yourself, why would anyone establish a system of defining weight in such a janky way? If you actually think this you're half as strong as you think you are

>>38645480
Fucking kek

>>38645832
did you even take basic high school math? a variable can't be 3 different values. i.e. in equation x+1=10, x can't be 9, 5, and 6.

you can't equate 3 different weight values to the variable pl8.
pl8=45 lb, nothing else

I am confused. Would "p" and "l" not be two variables? And isn't 8 a number? I though only letters and Zeus-pictures could be variables.

P=density of the plate
l=length of the circumference of the plate
8=the zyzz constant

>>38645931
You shouldn't count the body hair.

Why do people say 135, 225, 315 etc? The bar is 20kg, not 45 lbs so it's more like 134, 224, 314 and so on. Just cheating yourself calling it 315.

>>38645975
>yfw 9/11 happened on the 10th but burgers thought 'nine eleven' sounded better than 'nine-ten' so they added 1 to it

This goes for you too, faggot

Having to add a prefix doesn't solve the design failure of your shitty ass system. You Frenchie communist fucks had one chance to fix it and you require conversion within the system and define mass according to a fucking bar in a chamber.

Ok can we just stop memeing?
1plate is the weight of the bar plus one plate on each side, which is 20kg (bar) + 50kg (left plate) + 50kg (right plate) - 1.2kg (1% gravitational drag), so 118.8kg, then for 2plate you add 100 kg for the two plates, but subtract 1% because of the gravitational drag, so you subtract 2.2kg. In total 2plate = 217.8kg
