If someone asks you if your benching 2 plates or 3 plates, they are talking 100kg and 140kg respectively, not 80kg and 120kg. (1 plate meaning 20kg/45lb and also meaning how many plates a side)

Taller then me but a rake,, and reckons hes already doing 50kg shoulder presses.. This was brought up because he said he was laughing at a massive guy lifting 12.5kg plates for shoulder press

Taller then me but a rake,, and reckons hes already doing 50kg shoulder presses.. This was brought up because he said he was laughing at a massive guy lifting 12.5kg plates for shoulder pressI'd say most likely he's using a machine with a number of pulleys that has 50 kg selectable via a stack. Sounds stupid to assume that someone would think a machine is directly comparable to free weights but I've heard it happen before.
MA91CK billet turbos and weathered engines dont mix Legacy Donating Member 1,346 Member For: 14y 4m 1d Gender: Male Location: Wollongong Posted 17/10/12 12:56 AM Posted 17/10/12 12:56 AM Yeh for sure.. Pulleys is cheating I rekon. Free weights make you so much stronger for everyday activities than pulleys do. Theres a big difference between gym strong and everyday strong.. 2

Haha. Pulleys are useful... Sometimes. But comparing them to free weights if he actually was is pretty funny. I do 120kg lat pulldowns, but stuff having 60kg strapped to me to-do Pupullups! I'd be lucky to do 6 with 15kg

Hes maco do talks alot of sh*t..Your not wrong with the more pullys less resistance thing. I was doing tri's the other day and normally do 17.5 pull downs.. Machine was taken so used a different one with f*ckload of pullys.. Was doing 32.5kg on it
