These videos are so damn helpful man. I live around four hours away from the gym. I’d love to come out and visit sometime. I’ve been learning the starting strength method for around a year now and have made phenomenal improvements. It would certainly be nice to train with people who know practical information instead of the trainer at my gym that demands you do 20 reps of leg extensions for maximal quad development 😂
Thanks Jordan - I'm glad you've found them useful! It would be great to have you come visit us sometime. Also, that's fantastic to hear that you've made such solid progress.
plus bcs the conversion is 2.2-lb/kg that makes em R55, B44, T33, G22, W11 and r5.5, b4.4, y3.3, g2.2, w1.1 and all you need to convert kg to lbs is DOUBLE then add 10%
Absolutely, and we cover that topic in another video a while back: How to Convert Kilograms to Pounds Fast - Easy Math Trick! ua-cam.com/video/2fZFQ3nX690/v-deo.html
Amazing video!!! I hated kg but I got some adjustable kettlebells in kg cause that's all they had and now I'm starting to wrap my brain around the kg weight and I'm looking to change my bumpers to competition bumpers and now you're making me consider maybe getting them in kg 🤔
Thanks very much! Kilo plates are great once you get used to them - a system built around multiples of five instead of a system largely based on the 45 pound plate/bar. That being said, I certainly was used to pound plates far earlier than kilo plates.
"Smallest plate being a small yellow means last digit 3 or 8." I think you're wrong. Example: bar and collars, 2 reds, 2 blues, 2 small blues, 2 small yellows = 25+50+40+4+3 = 122 kg. Or am I missing something?
Are you referring to the bumper plates in this video? If so, then yes, they’re fine, and we still use them every day. I don’t know that Rogue’s bumpers are any better than a number of other companies, but they have held up well for our purposes.
@@TestifySC Great news. Saw a video someones 2.0 training plates that inner metal hub was loose on all his plates from 2 years of home use. But i havent seen this issue anywhere else. So not sure on this one.
We've experienced that on some of our 25 kg plates, but our plates get used a lot - with both training and hosting several meets per year - and over time (and from talking with other coaches at our meets), it's a common issue of wear-and-tear with most manufacturers. It's also worth noting that it has not affected the use of the plates at all - they are still just fine for regular use.

Weight plates still going strong?

@TestifySC thanks for that. Would you recommend any other quality plates other than these?
