Sam Ashen Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 20 fluid ounces... ounces and fluid ounces are different. http://www.differencebetween.net/science/mathematics-statistics/difference-between-fluid-ounces-and-ounces/ and it's 8.34 pounds to be exact. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallon Unless you are talking about the Imperial Gallon The imperial gallon[edit] The imperial (UK) gallon, now defined as exactly 4.54609 litres (about 277.42 cubic inches), is used in some Commonwealth countries and was originally based on the volume of 10pounds (approximately 4.54 kg) of water at 62 °F (17 °C). The imperial fluid ounce is defined as 1â„160 of an imperial gallon; there are four quarts in a gallon, two pints in a quart, and 20 fluid ounces in an imperial pint.10 pounds. However. Saying "Imperial Gallon" pretty much betrays national origin. UK fluid ounces are different from US fluid ounces (welcome to why Imperial measurements are insane). UK fluid ounces are 28.4ml, US fluid ounces are 29.6ml. UK pints are 568ml, US pints are 473ml. I just looked at it. Ya it's correct. If I recall correctly25kg are red20kg are blue15kg are yellow10kg are green5kg are white2.5kg are black and1.25kg are silver. I don't know if the color coding corresponds to something in particular. Added the spoiler to make it shorter. Thanks! Looks like the color coding makes it easier to know I loaded both sides the same. It has happened a couple of times where I pick up the bar and WTF? It is not balanced. Check the plates. 35 pounds on one side and 25 pounds on the other. Oops. Now I can look at some of these videos and have a better idea how much weight is involved. Maybe one day I will come up with a crazy mnemonic. Do all NF threads eventually descend to cats or beer? I have been here not quite one month. Is this the trend?

Artinum Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Pounds are... I don't know what they represent. But they're a pain. Without looking it up, how many pounds does a gallon of water weigh? How many cubic feet would it take up? US Gallon or Imperial Gallon? And this just makes it even worse!!! Well, pennies and pounds don't go together.Sure they do. They're money.Yeah, but one's American and one's English.They have pennies in England.No, they don't. They're metric. ...um?We have pennies in England. It's America that misuses the term. Yours are cents. And America had metric currency long before England (which makes the American resistance to the metric system anywhere else utterly baffling).

Squidwina Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 I'll get the KG version of the chart up tomorrow. The templates are at work, and today is a SNOW DAY! Which would be wonderful, except I really wanted to get to the gym. I guess this would be a good day to do the Recruit Workout from over at Nerd Fitness Academy. I haven't gotten around to doing it yet. Do all NF threads eventually descend to cats or beer? You say that like it's a bad thing. I thought that was unique to the gym I go to. What is with this? It does not even take one minute to rack your stuff and everybody knows you are done and does not have to waste a few seconds asking who is using that bar. I kind of wonder whether it's a macho show-off kind of thing. "What kind of wimp can't bench with the big plates on the bar?" Not for warm-up sets, jerkbutt! (Well, I can't do it for working sets either, but that's not the point.) Leaving the weight on the bar isn't merely annoying for a lot of people. It's a real problem. Not everybody can easily handle a 45 lb plate, especially if it's not a grip plate. I can move a 45, but it's a bit tiring to have to sling around too many of them in one session. I also have to be careful of one-sided movements right now due to a little back issue. The weight room is a bit crowded with equipment, so I often have to reach in and pull it off one-handed. That's not good. If I have to twist a little to load it for my own sets, that's my own problem, but I really really don't like risking aggravating my back because someone else is a lazy asshole. 1 My Main Quest: Bench my Body WeightMy First 6-Week Challenge: Squidwina - A Week Late and 45 Pounds ShortStarted Program - 5-Jan-2015Main Lifts as of 17-Mar-2015- Squat: 3 reps at 175 lbs (200 lb 1RM)- Deadlift: 3 reps at 185 lbs- Bench press: 3 reps at 115 lbs- Overhead press: 3 reps at 75 lbs Link to comment
