how much heavier are hard rubber plates than iron plates?

10lb plates = 10lb plates
Rubber just takes up more space cause it's not as dense, like you OP

Same with the 45lbs mong

Memeing aside, why does iron feel heavier than rubber plates?

>>38877364
because it is heavier in most cases

>>38876943
Depends on the age of the iron plates. They lose weight over time due to corrosion, but rubber plates do not.

>>38877449
The amount lost due to corrosion is negligible

>>38877421
Really? Why fhough? I would think that the Olympic plates I use would be better calibrated, but they feel easier than iron ones.
Probably just psychological

Iron oxide would actually add weights to the plates, extreme microloading

>Take weights to scale
>weigh plates
>no more asking people on the internet why some plates feel heavier than others

c'mon anon, it's not this hard. But unless you bought actual calibrated plates, it's a bit of a crapshoot.

The weights are in the gym and I'm not going to carry them to the scale in the locker rooms like a total autist.
I don't really believe they could actually be different, it's probably just in my head. Logically the iron should actually feel lighter as they are narrower,

>>38876943
Well rubber denies gravities forces so it makes the weight lighter. Thats why they are used as bumper pl8s

>>38877571

sorry, I read that as "my olympic plates" so thought they were yours at a home gym.
Yea don't carry them to the locker room.

It's possible that any of the weights are off by a couple of pounds either way, so just try and be consistent with the set you use and you'll be fine.

>>38876943
for some reason when I lift with bumper plates they feel heavier than standard from plates
maybe because they look bigger

>>38877364
Because rubber plates are much easier to grip.

>>38876943
If you drop both from the same height the iron plate will always land first since it weighs more.

>>38877830
That sounds plausible to e

>>38877972
That only works in a vacuum idiot.

>>38877364
Cause the weight is more centered towards you, when its a thick rubber plate its spread over the bar a bit more.

I don't get it

>>38878107
Isn't iron heavier?

>>38876972

Wouldn't OP be dense since he fails to understand that?

and you fell for the b8

seriously though, if rubber is more compressible wouldnt it weigh less?
