I'm not one to start useless posts but...

I'm curious...I have been lifting for years, and have NEVER had the need to use  35LB plates...Are they useless or is it just me?

[Bluto]

if you're trying to be progressively stronger you need a number of different plates since otherwise the jump would be too big

[gordiano]

They are like the $.75 coin of the gym.........

Why not just throw a 10 on top of a 25? It's easier than removing a 25 then adding a 35...

Keep working at it - you'll eventually be able to bench 115, I just know it!    



ps - j/k - totally agree with you about the 35s

[youandme]

Never have used them but now I will, guess I got inot a habit with using 25s to place on to dropset.

I have never ever seen a 100 lbs plate here in quebec, and I visited a lot of gym

maybe they are some in the powerlifting area at the progym, never entered that room cause I think it is only for the weightlifters doing clean and jerks and shit like that

yeah maybe that is true there is a lot of women who does strenght training

there is a girl here at brossard, don't remember her name but she is small and really really strong

some people say that she will be better than Maryse Turcotte, that's pretty amasing cause she is an incredible athlete !

I respect women who train heavy and hard cause usually, women don't train hard at all cause they say they aren't as strong as the men of they don't want to become too muscular

Amen!!!   10 or so should be left on the leg press and 4 or 5 on a flat bench....sucks loading plates.

One half for men, and the other half for women and sarcasms crew.   The weights will be pink on the machines ,all the way to 10lbs.

Yes!!    The first sets will be for 20 reps or so.   I always say: "Anything over 10 reps is called CARDIO"

Hey idiot if your dumbells start at 100 pounds and the weight jumps in incraments of 20, you wont have a 350 pound dumbell. Alexxx you really are a douche
