so they make large plates like that that don't weigh much? I figured the inside ones were bumper plates but I was thinking that if the others were that large they were 45's and thought she was the terminator lifting a billion pounds

[Blarg]

and hook me up with something or other

[Kuya]

my gym does not possess bumper plates, instead they are quite metallic and vary by size

[Kuya]

so when you use 5lb plates you, of course, look like a bitch

Bumper plates are all the same diameter as full plates so that you can pull loads that are less than 60 kg without drastically altering pulling mechanics in the snatch & C&J (and I guess deadlift but that's not really what they're for). They're also made out of rubber (so that you can drop them from shoulder height or overhead without bending the bar/breaking plates) which makes them super wide at heavier weights. We have some plates that are 30 or 40 kg or something like that at the gym and they're about as wide as 3.5 45 lb plates.

this is tempting if i had a passport because i would like even more education that is going to make it tougher for me to find a job

[Shiroikage]

getting to the point where I'm about to strip a degree for certain applications

[Howie Roary]

so you're pretty much a stripper for hire

[Shiroikage]

i would totally strip for cash

[Linliel]

I'll ask my boss if he'll take a stripper instead of a PhD student

[Shiroikage]

i'd better start dieting/get a whole body wax

[Howie Roary]

some strippers work for an education
shiro got educated so he could strip

[Shiroikage]

i shall strip my way through a phd program

[Charismatic]

i shall strip my way through a phd program

I don't know about you, but I feel like this would be boss.

[Shiroikage]

I don't know about you, but I feel like this would be boss.

i'm with you on this one

[Howie Roary]

careful when you slide down the stripper pole, you wouldn't want to get

Spoiler: show

[Shiroikage]

i'm mostly afraid of those third degree burns

[Howie Roary]
