This is pure autism but I like it. Good work OP.

What about 25 kg plates?

>>40939956

Do you not have 50's? Fuck man, I cant imagine wasting more than a couple of minutes putting 4-5 plates on the bar for a deadlift, or more for a rack pull.

Get 50's OP, extra thin comp ones while you're at it.

>>40939956
You're cute anon, and I agree with you on all your plate descriptions

>>40940186

they are used by profesionnal lifters i'm pretty sure but not for benching ofc. you know about olympic right ?

your autism inspired me, OP. i'll name mine now:

0.5kg: THE MICROPLATE OF PATIENCE
Whenever you can, you'll prefer to move on larger steps, obviously. But that's not always possible. And the wise man knows his limitations. Keep a slow, steady pace, and you'll travel farther.

1kg: THE PLATE OF CONSISTENCY
The most usual increment. And it comes in a round, perfect number 1.

3kg: THE PLATE OF GREED
C'mon, there're times to be patient. And there're times to fucking break your limits. If you're on a good day, well fed and well rested, forget about those shitty mini plates, just add a real plate.

5kg: THE PLATE OF ANCESTRY
The heaviest plates I inherited from my father. He was a woodworker and made the wooden rack and bench I still use today, and asked a blacksmith friend to make the plates, bars, and metal parts. Always remember where you came from.

10kg: THE PLATE OF TRANSCENDENCE
But don't be limited by your ancestry. This is the first pair i bought myself. They were too heavy for my DYEL ancestors, but not for me.

25kg: THE PLATE OF GLORY
They're specially meaningful to me, because when I started lifting I was precisely the same weight as the bar + a 25kg pair (56kg). It's nice to look at a simple bar with a single pair of plates and think "this was me 1 year ago".

>>40940693
What kind of shitty bar you use that weighs 6kg?

>>40940747
a hand-made iron bar. don't insult it. it was a gift, and it has been serving the Lord of Gains for over 40 years.

>>40939956
Are you some kind of European faggot?

OH GOD

2 1/2 lb- Daint

So dainty they can't even support the y

5 lb- PR Plate
When it's time to go for the new squat or diddly PR these bad boys are coming out, not stupid daint

10 lb- Necessary Evil Plate
Not enough to feel important solo, but when paired with PR plates and daint create a lovely honeycomb visual

25 lb- Progress Plate
Add these bad boys and you'll feel like you're really on your way

35 lb- Fake Plate
It's not real. Don't use it

45 lb- THE BENCHMARK™
Let's be honest, no one gives a shit about your numbers in between these.

This is actually makes a lot of sense.

I used to name my jogging paths in a retarded autist way like op did.

I remember the following:

path of the dead (ran trough a cementery)

path of the past (ran trough my old school)

path of kings (ran trough a zone with very nice big houses)

path of the gods (ran near a church)

path of lost love (near the place i met my ex)

path of lost souls (in this one there was a gym with a huge window filled with treadmills, and i used to look at those and think, what retards im running for free on the street and they pay to run on a treadmill, the gym is for lifting you faggets)

they're really unoriginal names

You now realize Crossfit literally does the same autism with giving their WODs random female names.

>oh boy I absolutely destroyed Victoria last night, I was sweating and panting and my whole body hurt
>nice, did she let you finish on her tits?
>n-no I'm talking about my workout h-hehe

>ou now realize Crossfit literally does the same autism with giving their WODs random female names.

you fucker...
i was not aware of that...
i was HAPPY not being aware of that...
you...
mother...

>>40946294
oh yeah, that is WAY more autist than op

>>40946294
kek. still better than how some youtube """fitness""" guys name theirs. there's only so many iterations of FAT INCINERATING MUSCLE DEVASTATING WORKOUT FROM HELL you can come up with before it becomes stale.

>>40946356
no, that's not better.

using a silly descriptive excersise is much MUCH less autismal than trying to atribute some special property to workout by naming it after a girl like a creepy 30 yo virgin

I have a very intimate relationship with the 1.25kg plates because I seem to be the only one to use them. Actually I can't remember the last time I saw someone who isn't DYEL use the bellow 2.5kg plates. I really wonder how they do, I couldn't imagine adding 5kg every time I increase the weight

This autism cannot be surpassed.
Put me in the screen cap.

Holy shit just realized I kinda do this with my 1.25 lb plates. I call them "the dinky." Only ones I do it with though.
