Why do these exist? What's their purpose? Was it just an experiment gone wrong? Who has time for the math?

Just think about how 25# plates feel.
-
I used to love the 35s when i started lifting and got to bench 205 then 295 then never cared for them any more.I rarely see them anymore.
-
I have fucking 6 of them. I just keep them in the garage and use them for the sled or the prowler.
They can be mistaken (by the heathens) for 45's and used to impress.

I have a bunch too
They are very useful for free-weight T-bar rows

I could see that. I just keep piling on the 25s.
-
I like them better than the 45s.
-
If you're doing tbar rows they're better than 45s because you have a greater range of motion.
-
As mentioned, useful to increase motion on some things, and also its foreign cousin, the #15kg bumper plate is especially useful for planning jumps during olympic lifting.

Nothing wrong w/ 35's... I use mine often...

If you can't do the math you must be a bodybuilder. I have always used the 35lbs plate when lifting.

nice old school plate i have 4 -35's 2=standardsolympic plates and 2=york milled olympic plates..

My gym doesn't even have 35's any more. It seems arbitrary to get rid of the 35's and not the 25's or the 45's. I guess they figured the more "strong" people will use the 45's and the more "weaker" people will use the 25's. ??? ??? But nothing in between? Then again, how many people actually stack on multiple 45's? In a normal every day gym, it would actually seem more worthwhile to get rid of the 45's and keep the 25 and 35's.
And whats up with the 2 1/2 pound plates? I guess for small incremental weight increases.
These are the difficult questions that bodybuilders have to ask themselves day-in and day-out with no readily available answer. Its the burden we bear.

Me and my training partner back in the day would call the small plates (2.5-10lbs) cookies. 8)

When I see the 2.5 pound plates I just toss them aside and do not even bother with them. Someone once asked me if I was going to use the 2.5 pound plate, and I smirked and said, "Um, no, why even use them and only add such little weight. Go heavy or go home." He just whispered under his breath and walked away.
-
I use 2.5, 5, 10, 25, 45 and 55lbs in my gym.
-
Don't get it. A lot of people use 35's that I see.
-
I use them for deadlifts sometimes to do low pulls.

I've never seen those in any UK gyms. We just have all the Olympic plates.

Me too eons ago.
-
Seems to be a lot of retro love for the 35's
-
Tried to get my Gym to not order new ones and get more 45's and 25's the manager agreed and the owner didn't gym is now even more unorganized.

Old-timer is another delusional political idiot who goes on endless rants about Obama and liberals. He's kind of like a broken record. Better off just to ignore him.

No one is ranting over the extent to which he rants over Obama and liberals, especially on a bodybuilding forum.

ha ha i'm a 50 year old man, and i think you're amusing.
normally i respect my peers just on Spec. you're mature.
But you have such a stick up your ass, and are so pervasively negative... I feel you need to be ridiculed and treated like a twat. kind of pathetic actually.

When I was in myrtle beach I went to a gym in Conway, I forget the name of it, but they had 45kg plates. Never seen them again until I visited my buddy's gym in Canada and he's got the same ones! I mistook it for a 45lb plate, went to pick it up and for a second I thought I got weaker cause it felt like 100lbs (which it is) haha!

No, I am not a liberal. I find it equally tiresome when liberals rant about republicans.
Its all the same shit.
Ahhhh, so you can't just ignore the comments? you have to comment every single time with your asinine comments. You just sound like a deluded idiot, well, you kind of are. :D :D Carry on. :D :D

These are great to use for T bar rows.

I'm guessing 250 'solid' lbs and 35% BF, 'doesn't care about looks just strength' but only benches 225 for a couple of shitty reps
