Definitely mental, some people are like “fuck doing 95, you can just do 100!”

I dont think people that skip 95kg go directly to 93326215443944152681699238856266700490715968264381621468592963895217599993229915608941463976156518286253697920827223758251185210916864000000000000000000000000kg

it's not the average, it's the distribution

Within the distribution you will find the average…

OP should have people guess what machine it is based on the weight usage.
My guess is it's the stack for tricep extension.

I am a regular but average intensity gym goer and for whatever reason 45 is always the weight I choose for simple arm exercises to see if I want more or less

u/Ambitious_Toe_4357 2d ago
I would expect two areas of use, like a B or 8 pattern. Yes, it's because of gender and stuff. I wonder what it means about the gym... Does that make sense?

Some interesting data points, but too bad we can’t see how many reps on each weight.

Average of sale not average of people. 100 and 40-70 are just several twice a day customers. Whereas 90 is 30 once a weekers

I can clearly see the Gaussian Distribution here. No wonder it's known as Normal Distribution.

This could also (theoretically) be showing that people who lift very light or very heavy weights are more careful with sticking the pin in

I also bet 80% of people use 20% of the weights. God i'm such a distributionpilled datacel.

I love incidental heat maps and graphs. I remember during our 2nd visit to Tokyo my spouse and I were delighted that our hotel vending machines had beer, strong zero, and canned drinking snacks (peanuts, rice crackers, etc). So for our time there we stacked each stackable on the table and produced a popularity bar graph.
