What weights are best lbs or kg?

RosscoBoscko

I can't believe this. just get the weights and use them. If you think in kilos, then get the kg weights. If you think in pounds, then get the pounds.

I can think in both, although I do tend to convert lbs to kgs in my head, so I guess that's another reason not to use lbs as I don't want to waste training time on working out the weight.

Negative, its a reason to buy them, then you can do a double workout, mind and body at once.

Start with gram weights and work your way up. Honestly,nobody should lift anything more than 100g unless they're showing off, or trying to bulk up. You probably have a cell phone. Lift that. You need to think outside the box like this.

I think you are missing the important question.

What colour is the best for maximum calorie burn?

I've wanted to know this for ages.

I love PINK! Love it!

I heard pink burns the most too!

I always imagined lactic acid to be yellow, what colour would counter this to enable no burn but still maximum muscle gain?

if you use kgs, you can put more plates on the bar. go with kgs. you'll look like a bad@ss in the gym with the bar filled up

I think it depends on whether your height is in centimetres or inches.

We have a winner :laugh:

Easy, blue, colour of ice, takes the heat away = no burn.

This is the best thread ever!!! It feels so good to laugh out loud with my morning coffee, thanks op! I'm bumping this for later.

And if this was a serious post, sorry I laughed so much. My advice is just buy some weights. Sometimes our doubts and questions can prevent us from our progress. ;-)

Centimeters are best, by far.

That's an excellent question, will the weights continue to work if I spray paint them myself? If they still maintain performance for building muscle mass then I would think, military green would be the most effective or racing green with go faster stripes for toning?

No it wouldn't work if you painted them yourself because the true colour would be underneath. Sorry, good idea though.

Lbs obviously. You get 2.2 times as much.

Actually, you get 2.20462. Don't shortchange the pounds like that.

yeah, but that's only at sea level, what if I live on a mountain?

Would it just stop them from working completely? Would they no longer build muscle or tone?

Hi I'm about to buy some new weights and just wondering what would be best to buy for building muscle mass, kg or lbs?

Where exactly in Miskin, Wales do you expect to find weight discs marked in lbs troll

I'll reserve you these from your local Argos if you like

pound for pound, pounds are better, unless you're British then I like the Euro . . .

Ok now I'm really confused the British use sterling even though they're part of Europe and the rest if us use euros, so does that mean if I lift in Britain I should be using pounds and if I lift anywhere else in Europe I should be using Kgs?!!

Well, you need to go to the opposite side of the colour wheel, so purple would be the best to counter the yellow.

Sorry, it looked like a story problem that needed an answer. As far as brand of spray paint I'd suggest either Krylon or Rust-Oleum. Those are the two I'm most familar with...

What do you think about purple and yellow camo style?

What do you think about purple and yellow camo style?

I think it would be great for hiding yourself in a field of purple and yellow violets.

With my weights I've been wanting to use Kryon Purple Glitter Blast... and then add pink polka dots. It would match some of my workout clothes.
