I'm really confused with this..because sometimes I think here in my country we count it all as KG and USA all is counted in LB....
so i'm wondering.... the big plates that are 45...are those 45kg or lb? erm they are the biggest ones (atleast at my gym...)
the reason why I ask this is because I can't be benching 50 lb...thats extremely weak...i'm weak (just started) but 50 would be really weak when I see weaker people benching less than 50 (not counting bar...)
and in lb 50kg is 110 which sounds more like the way you people talk :P

Ok hopefully I can clear some air on this.
In Australia we count everything as kilos. The "biggest" plates we have is the 25's. And they are 25kg.
In America or whatever they use pounds and I'm guessing their "biggest" plates are the 45 pounders.
Hope that helps. If you've been using 2 25 plates then that would be 50kg not counting the bar. If you are still unsure ask the trainers at the gym to be certain!I can do all things through Christ, because he gives me strength- Philippians 4:13

In most European countries, the weights will usually be in kilograms. It will also most likely have "kg" on the plates/weights etc.
In the US (and Canada, I believe), they'll be in lbs.
That being said, it could differ on a gym-by-gym basis but this is pretty unlikely.Battlefield 8 fan
