You're dropping a weight class? That's gonna be tough.
I've done 500+ in wraps at my last two meets. I'm hoping for 495 in sleeves here in a few months and hopefully 550+ in wraps at the meet this summer.

I've subbed it out in favor of the shrugs for awhile. I feel like they get plenty of work from the bench.

Forgot to weigh
Good morning 320x3, 285x3, 285x3, 285x3, 285x3
Slingshot bench 365 for 3x5 (decided to drop the heavy singles because I think it makes my weekly volume too low. Meant to do 5x5 today, but hit RPE 10 on the third set)
Single arm cable rows 70lbs for 5x10
Found out the buffalo bar I've been using actually weighs 50lbs rather than 60lbs, so everything I've believed for the last month or so has been a lie.

Stay strong.
Oh I will, I'm just 10lbs less strong than I thought I was, lol.

I feel your pain. I remember when I switched gyms I wasn't used to the bumper plated and the first time I tried pulling 495 I ripped it up super easy. I later found out it was only 455 because someone left the 25lbs bumpers on instead of the 45's like the sign on the wall clearly stated to do. Lol. I then switched it to 495 and only got it up to my knees and couldn't finish it. Unfortunately I already text a couple people bragging about my new deadlift pr that I didn't actually hit. Lol

we have 2 buffalo bars at my gym, one is 60 and the other is 55. i wonder why there are so many variations of it? the duffalo is 57.
either way, youre saving your elbows/shoulders. so 10 pounds isnt that big of a deal. i know the feeling though. thats why i went through a weighed every bar i use at the gym. they used to be marked and eventually the front desk guy used tape and marked each bar as i weighed them.
Yeah, I've had to write the weights on the plates in my gym as they're out by up to 5%. Which adds up.

They really need to standardize them. I can understand some specialty bars needing to be heavier, but they should all be the same. There's a cambered bar there that's like 37.5lbs.
I don't care about the weight on good mornings, just that my squat PR is 425x3 rather than 435x3. It'll take a month or more to add ten pounds and get where I thought I was.
That's 10x worse, lol. It's weird they make unlabeled plates.
The clips are 5 pounds each, right???
I wish. Maybe if I had my phone in my pocket plus two clips I could call it 5lbs, lol.
For awhile I used only the bumper plates on bench because there is only one set of each weight and I could use my microplates and know exactly what I had on the bar. There's only enough to make 315lbs though. Two 55's, two 45's, two 25's and two 10's.
3kg to be exact. 'Murica!The clips are 5 pounds each, right???

Made an improved camera stand today for filming lifts.
The phone slides right between there in the top. The hinge allows up and down movement which my last stand didn't have. Had to bend the hinge a bit to make it work. The wood I just cut off some scrap wood lying around.

They were labeled, that's how I ended up finding out they were only 25's. Lol. I just wasn't used to bumper plates yet so they looked like 45's at first.
