European metric system overall just makes a lot more sense. (no nationalist)

Yes it does, we have ten digits on our hand, we have the base number ten for our counting system and metric works in tens.
Imperial seem like it was pulled out for thin air randomly.
Wait, are you saying american 45lb plates are actually 44lb??

1 pound = 0.45359237 kilograms. Your brain obviously rounds things up.

About the plates that's what i had thought. I mean the plates seem to be of exactly the same size, width, depth, diameter etc (we have a couple of plates in pounds at the gym) i assume they're all the same.

Its not so easy to bench 5 plates a side when your not throwing the weights around Branch style, Dorian makes sure he has the weight under control at all times, definately no bouncing the bar off your chest in The Dungeon,
