normal people, like me. Member 2325, 550 posts	Post Edited: 11.03.2014 @ 17:52 PM by IainT Train at home with my own stuff, and pretty much always use the same combinations of plates to get a certain weight, so my 0.5kg plates see some use. Helps a bit with percentages in 5/3/1, I can progress my OHP by small amounts. When I've done things like 20 rep squats or start low add weight each session squat/deadlift I've not bothered with less than 5kg increases.

His levers get the bar up. Member 2919, 8635 posts SQ 195, BP 127.5, DL 225 547.5 kgs @ 77kgs UnEq	They are great for Olympic Weightlifting no? 5-10kg snatch PBs are very hard to.come by.

Squatting isn't doing my back any good. Member 5108, 869 posts SQ 170, BP 125, DL 210 505.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq	I was doing this regularly at one time and was able to add quite a bit of weight to my 5 rep bench PB. The reason was as other have stated that weekly increases of 2.5 would have been too much to manage and the micro plates allowed me to increase my lifts every week throughout a training cycle. I acknowldege that not using the same plates could potentially render small changes useless though.

Mark If Marsbar did his 310 at a strongman comp, they were no doubt with metal plates In theory the weight could have been 307 or it may have been 313 Shaun is a bit different as he lifts on same Eleiko calibrated paltes week in week out For those who dont do this, a 1KG is pretty meaningless

Member 1419, 2281 posts SQ 175, BP 105, DL 240 520.0 kgs @ 82kgs UnEq	I have access to Eleiko bars + plates week in week out AND I'm weak as piss at the moment so every 1kg counts!

None of it calibrated - we can't afford it . Wether it weigh 307kg or 311kg or 200kg I want to make sure they lift more than they did the week before .. That's all . I have a lad now just started Olympic weightlifting . He "could" lift 100kg clean and jerk NOW ., He won't though of course I'll spoon feed him 20 exercises x 1,2,3 & 5 rep ranges x 1kg every now and then . Resulting in this guy hitting 5,6 PBs a week for the next 5 years .. This in called intelligent coaching .. A numpty would let the kid hit 100kg today and wait 6 months to hit 120kg clean and jerk thus losing him to a lack of motivation .. JC - I would never expect to convert someone like you, you are an ultra metro sexual ..
