What is the optimal number of weights for a home gym where I'm able to micro load 1.25kg (2.5 lbs) / 2.5kg (5 lbs) / 5kg (10lbs) etc while lifting up to +150kg? To intelligent to do the math.
My lifts are:
5x60kg (130lbs) BP
5x90kg (200lbs) SQ
5x95kg (210lbs) DL
5x40kg (90lbs) OHP
So I want to be able to have enough equipment to bring me to over 100kg (220lbs).
Home Gym General as well, I guess.
Remember when you kept asking when you would use Parametric Equations and how it wasn't any use in Algebra II?

are parametric equations relevant somehow?
The most practical is (8) 45 plates, (2) 25 plates, (4) 10 plates, (2) 5 plates. That will have you set for probably under a year until you'll need two more 45 plates for your deadlift.

is that in lbs or kg
>>40124455
yes .. plz get 8 45kg plates

What I have in picrelated, aside from a safety-less squat which whispers "you gonna die, stingy fool" every rep, is as follows:
>2 x 25kg
>2 x 20kg
>4 x 10kg
>4 x 5kg
>2 x 2.5kg
>2 x 1.25kg
As well as cheap-ass dumbbells which go up to 10kg/each. Intending to add mirrors, pullup bar and wall-mounted dip bars in the near future.
You could use the same weight config as I did but PLEASE don't repeat my mistake and go for 4x20kg instead of buying 25kg ones, as their larger size means less DL and BB Row range of motion.

Btw, posted this on /diy/ as well:
>picrelated for reference, those are the worst of the set.
How can I "graft" some missing rubber onto the bare metal?
Looks aren't a priority, my floor's integrity and sound dampening are. I don't drop the weights like a retard, but heavy deadlifting sometimes requires me to lower them faster than my downstairs neighbors would like to.

? parametric equations are most of what I did in higher level maths & phys t b h
8 20 kgs (so you can do 4 plate deads)
2 10 kgs
2 5 kgs
4 2.5 kgs
that way you can go to the nearest plate and do subdivisions of the next plate
