bevs plates

[irishmuscle]

i hear dave always mention about the plates in bevs are heavier than usual,so a 45lb is not 45lb, wat exactly is it,someone has to check for me. why did he buy these weights if there not the right weight?

[GirlyMuscle]

I think it's a joke. THe plates are 45 pound plates.

you sure?

[GirlyMuscle]

I trained there. Yes, I'm sure.

And Bev is a she

And Bev is a she

i knew that,just realised i made thar error.

I trained there. Yes, I'm sure.

So you actually weighed a plate on the scale while you were there?

[Sledge]

I just looked at the numbers on the sides.

That system worked for me with American money too.

No I didn't. But I lifted the same there as anywhere else.

I've been training there the last few weeks and something is definately heavier. I can inclne 365 for 10 reps at bev's I get 335 for about 8. When I go back to golds my numbers go back to normal. Even Ben White said at the bench challenge that 315 was more like 340. IMO the weights are heavier.

I always figured it was a joke about people not lifting well under pressure. Why would a gym buy 45lb plates that weigh more than 45lb. And what company would make such a thing. Surely a gym would have to remove them before any one made an insurance claim about an injury.


Actually now I think about it. The dumbells at my gym are heavy too. Thats why I don't lift as much as I think I should. That must be it.

really every plate needs to be weighed
cuz plates that are exactly the weight they are at plate value are extremely expensive

when i powerlifted the gym i worked out at my 1st hubby & my coach Powerlifting legend Doug Young & I
weighed every plate in the gym and painted it on the plates

45 lb plates can range from 41 to 49 lbs
so if you are training max lifts and for competition

if the weights are off
number 1 ~ you can get injured
number 2 ~ you might not be lifting as much as you think or more than
which can really skrew you up if you are trying to lift a certain weight in competition
cuz a 1 or more on a max lift can fuck you over

so the moral of the story is if you are having a competition
the plates need to be weighed so you know exactly whatz on the bar

sorry hon you are wrong on this point
coming from a powerlifting background
being trained my one of the best in the world at the time
i know this for a fact
you haveta weigh every plate to know what it weighs exactly and they can be off by quite a bit

[irishmuscle]

hopefully someone can get a plate in bevs gym and weigh it, and a pic would be apreciated,of all the members on here someone gotta be training there today

I'm going to second all of this

Most plates don't actually weigh 45lbs, the only weights that you can guarantee to weight what they say are the calibrated kilo plates that are used for competitions.
