    Pulling that same weight in pounds feels like more of struggle for some reason

    I get that! Kilo plates just look littler so it must weigh less, right?!? :D

    It is the same way as adding a 35+10 is lighter than adding another 45 to the bar. Strange isn't it.

    Well uncalibrated plates can have a large variant in most cases so it very possible on a deadlift of 500lbs you are in reality pulling 510-520lbs depending on how off they are.

    Obviously the same goes for pulling less weight. Hence why I never hold much water in the weight a plate states, it is but more of how well the bar moved with RPE style adjustments.

    Calibrated plates are definitely a luxury for training for a competition platform :).

    The hell of it is, my next meet in less than two weeks is in pounds.

    I've never repped out 165 lbs before. It was shaky, but I got two sets of 3. It was supposed to be six sets of 3 at 8 RPE, but I had to drop weight after two sets because it definitely wasn't 8 RPE at that point.
    Nice looking reps! Building toward 200. lbs

    I'm slowly putting the money together to upgrade my home kit -- meanwhile, I have Midwest Power Gym in Milwaukee or Winners Edge up the street to train kilos -- but first there's the new water heater, landscaping, and other buys for the new home.

    PRed my bench this morning! 82.5 kgs. If I can hit that at my next meet (and keep my butt on the bench), I will break state record!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDmmb3Najgc

    Then I turned around and blew my slingshot bench PR out of the water! 100 kgs!!!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2UkR8k23vk

    Wow nice! Are you in the USAPL fed?

    Etched a 5rep PR on squat following deads and pin bench. As you can tell, I was elated. I was surprised on how light my two back off sets felt afterwards though. This session took almost three hours, fuk.

    186/410 × 5 @ RPE 9
    179/395 × 5 @ RPE 8.5
    174.6/385 × 5 @ RPE 7

    A little over a week ago, I had a terrible meet. I won't even go into my misgrooved squat where I injured my quad and it threw my whole meet off -- but I will say, I did learn a lot of how to bounce back from an early injury (and to ask for help) and limp away with a PR.

    First success post injury was this 320lb BP. While -3 pounds under my best platform PR, that grind was worth it.



    Lastly, was this 555 lbs +10 pound platform PR deadlift.


    I have a tendency to finish a meet strong, and my deadlifts get stronger with each attempt.

    I went 7/9: 1/3 Squat 415, 3/3 BP 295, 310, 320, and 3/3 deadlift 505, 535, 555. 1290 lbs, 5th place finish. (Body weight of 91.6kgs/201.6 lbs)

    I was expecting a lot more at this, but will build of my failures in this meet starting tomorrow.
