So, my nephew just spent one year in the US studying and blah blah blah... He lifts...
So, there's this thing I always found a little weird and have never really asked anyone because maybe it's just in my mind.
After asking about the weather, girls and all the usual BS, I asked him if he found American 45 plates to be lighter than our 20kg plates. He said "yeah, that's weird isn't it?"
Every 20 I've ever touched felt a bit heavier than your average American 45.
So, what gives?
Hands on only. If you've not lifted in both Imperial and Metric gyms, no calling me nuts, please.
Thanks.
