35lb plates - useful or waste of resources?

[funk51]

no idea , could be a non- american plate. there are a few letters underneath possibly TDS or DPS but not sure

[Gym Rat]

Weight is weight. People these days are morons, it started online with ghey "influencers" not liking 35's.
Of course they have zero muscle on their body. I have 6 York milled 35's and they are fine for 'whatever'.
Belt sq, Smith stuff, dip belt (or whatever).

"Hahhhh... GHEY!!!!!!!!!!!"

The 35’s are also great for neck work.

6 milled 35’s by YORK will actually increase in value over time. So you can make a profit if you ever decide to sell them.

Dave a 35 LB plate is worthwhile if you can do weighted pull-ups or weighted dips.

I like the way you think Royalty! Now I’m thinking 35s aren’t bad.

[NaturalWonder83]

35s are fine and make people think you are lifting 45s on the barbell if they're gym rookies or just don't look carefully.

Using kilos only sounds interesting but in reality it's confusing and no one understands kilos converted to pounds. Metric system is not appreciated or wanted.

[GymnJuice]

Ah, yes. The metric system muscle confusion principles……

 

Muscle confusion is real! My muscles get confused even when the weight stays exactly the same. Sometimes I load a single 45 lb plate. Sometimes I use a 35 and a 10. This keeps my muscles guessing. And when I’m feeling extra spicy I flip the plate so the numbers face inward. That’s advanced level confusion right there.

Didn’t Wiggs already do this thread?

Yes!

But what the hell, let’s discuss it all over again, because it’s so damn exciting.

Bro...

Can you put 45 on one side and a 35 and 10 on the other and screw the slight imbalance, or too neurotic for that?

Powerlifters in my gym are so neurotic they can't put a yellow Eleiko 5kg on one side and an identical white painted one on the other.

I just sold 10 milled 45's from the 70's. I don't care about making money off of weights (I just wanted to move them as I had WAY too many from decades of collecting and building my gym) and tired of just storing things.
I sold them for $1.00 a lb just like any old "Fitness Gear" or "Champion" plate out there on Marketplace.

Really pissed off some local collectors (who reached out) when I told them some jabroni's just bought most of them because they just needed weights.
They didnt care what brand they were or knew anything about vintage iron. Again, I just wanted them gone...

[Grape Ape]

I find them perfect for when I need to add 70lbs to the bar.

Sacrilege.

What happens if those jabronis actually use those plates and not just display them on a stand?
They might get scratched!
