Excellent post. Thank you.
Yeah, I guess that makes sense. Just that 20kg plates are more common than 25kg plates, so my first calculation was with the 20s. But 25 about reconciles it.
25kgs red plates are standard Powerlifting competitive plates, Eleiko are the most famous but other brands have followed suit afaik. Blue plates are 20kgs, those plates are much slimmer than the typical gym plates so it looks less impressive if you are not used to them, but the weight is there
Great video btw, this guy still kicks ass at 60
Okay, thanks for the info. Truth be told, in all the years I've been working out, I don't think I ever saw a 25kg plate. It was either 20kg or 45lbs. And, yeah, my hat is off to the guy.
Just a regular Redditor, 60:
Gym 3x per week, approx 1 hr. 3 sets of 6-10reps; mostly compound lifts on machines. Usually 4-5 exercises per session. I also run up to 2 miles at least twice a week, and sometimes with sprints interspersed.
Examples:
Day 1: Bench, Rowing, Reverse flies, Shoulder flies, Incline situps.
Day 2: Run.
Day 3: Leg press, Chest flies, Pulldowns, Dips, Side bends.
It goes back and forth like this with some other lifts thrown in.
Diet is lazy keto, and 16:8 Intermittent Fasting(IF) (Fast 16 hrs with 8 hour eating window.), with Sunday being a free for all.
I was on my way to fitness with lifting, but it was the IF that gave me the cut and the boldness to post pics. haha.
Y'all can do it. Anyone can do it if I can.
