minus-square@fastandcurious@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink2•3 months agoDid u succeed? I have kind of a similar problem as my gym doesn’t have 2.5lbs plates, I was wondering if i could just throw a 5lbs on one side and just adjust my grip accordingly
minus-square@berryjam@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilink2•3 months agoNo, I just rounded up 10lb. I increased my reps at the current weight before making the jump to +10lb, where I would start with 3-4 reps and work up. For things like OHP this is not possible, so I’ve just been doing dumbbells there. Planning to buy change plates soon though.
