What happened to the 35 pound plates of yesteryear?

They exist only to be put away on top of other, more useful plates.

I have some 15KG plates that came as part of a set and are literally never used.

I generally have 25-lb plates on someplace as I'm pyramiding up or down. It's easier to just add 10-lb plates to those than it is to replace the 25s with fake 45s, so I stick with the canonical plate sizes.

I've been working out at work when there is time, night shift. It's nice, slow times; go do some dead lifts. Deadlift you can do if you got the bar and weights. After it feels like dead-lifts have been done for the week, can still use the concept2 rowing machine that's there or gently caress around with the other weights. No rack or place to do bench.

Heaviest dumbbells are 10 kg. Done some lateral raises so I guess it's good for that. Shouldn't complain too much, being able to work out at work is great, even if choice of exercises is limited.

Floor press should be doable with barbell if you want, and you can probably clean whatever weight you'd want to use for ohp assuming the ceiling is high enough, so you probably have enough for a decent full body routine if you're in to that. Maybe throw in some rows and you're in business.

The ceiling is so low I have to duck when walking around to avoid ?ventilation? pipes. There's a some fixed weight bars, heaviest is 40 kg, done some cleans and OHP with that after carrying it into the stairwell. Also rows. Could use the full sized bar for more than deadlifts but don't think I'll bother with all that. I'm the only one using it at the moment so it's nice to just leave it there with the weight on and go back to it next week (and usually put on more).

feelix posted:You can do ohp kneeling Seated as well, but both can be trickier to get the bar in position if you have no rack. Although I guess both variants are harder so maybe the lighter weight makes it easy enough depending on how strong you are. Definitely a ton you can do even if literally all you have is a barbell and enough weight though

I started lifting again after almost a year off due to illness. Tomorrow my goal is to bench one plate, and maybe try a deadlift.

If you’re only benching one plate how do you balance it is there a way to put it in the middle of the bar?

You just have to switch sides between each set so you don't grow one huge boob. Unless you're into that.

I only work out at home and don’t really read about strength training other than the bare minimum to get me started so I actually don’t really know but I’d guess one plate means 135 pounds ie 2x45 plus bar

Early 30s, I've yet to run up against that constraint yet, so if this is the last big smash I can do before my body starts to complain about things, c'est la vie (I'll conveniently ignore the idea that this COULD be the reason why that happens, lol)

I’ve been using the RP Hyperthrophy app for 3 weeks now and overall it’s been pretty decent besides a few minor bugs here and there. It’s really nice to be able to swap movements if something is taken or you are in a limited gym environment. Also the videos really help if it’s something you’ve never seen before or just want a refresher. I’ve got another 3 weeks on this meso and we will see how I feel at the end but so far it’s been worth the few bucks.

The lower your balls get, the easier it is to get rear end-to-grass while squatting. Or balls-to-gym mat, I guess. Getting old has its perks

Do the yoga cat cow pose series with your shirt off and eyes open but make sure you have the first nine digits of a crisis hotline already dialed before you begin.
