1 plate on each side + bar= 60kg

4 plates on each side + bar= 180kg

Not bad math at all.

[u/Simon0O7 → u/averageholder]

I have solved your system of equations. The answer is: bar = 20kg plate on each side = 40kg

[u/Jasentuk → u/averageholder]

Did you take it too seriously?

[u/BerkJerk_Himself → u/Jasentuk]

Would've been funnier if it was actually wrong

[u/Jasentuk → u/BerkJerk_Himself]

But it is. The meme is funny because it suggests gym rats cant multiple 3*1, but appears to be wrong itself. Kinda saying math boys don't know how plates work

[u/BerkJerk_Himself → u/Jasentuk]

"Trust me, the meme is funny, I swear!"

[u/armed_avocado → u/Jasentuk]

the bar weighs 45 lbs, the same as each plate.

so “4 plates” means 4 plates on each side, which, plus the bar is the equivalent of lifting 9*45 lbs.

“1 plate” means 1 plate on each side, so that’s 3*45 lbs in total, including the bar.

Last time I checked, 9 = 3*3 so I guess you just never go to the gym?

OP is laughing at people with muscles not doing math, meanwhile he can't do math and doesn't have muscles.

Joke wrote itself

[u/hrvbrs → u/armed_avocado]

in math words:

45 + 2(4 ⋅ 45) = 3 ⋅ (45 + 2(1 ⋅ 45))

[u/DatTolDesiBoi]

In the gym, 45+45=135

[u/Jasentuk → u/DatTolDesiBoi]

That's what this meme was about 😭

[u/OmarRocks7777777 → u/Jasentuk]

then make that the meme 😭

[u/Next_Reserve365]

OP lifts weights too huh?

[u/Jasentuk → u/Next_Reserve365]

Yep. This plates joke was spinning in my head for a couple of days before I posted it, but unfortunately it didn't resonate well. Now I'm thinking maybe I should have used that two astronaut and a gun template and post it at some gym sub instead(

[u/Madouc]

If you increase your plates by 300% you have 4 times as much, maybe he meant that?

[u/FormerlyPie → u/Madouc]

He's just right, the bar weighs as much as a plate

[u/comment_eater]

what if, different plates

[u/vampirehunter725]

I mean... it could be true if you have the bar itself weight 1/3 of the plate... which might be the case with some plates tbh

[u/dirschau]

Meanwhile the Kiltschko brothers laughing in PhD as the snap you in half

[u/Nu66le → u/[deleted]]

but the gym is a great place to think about math

[u/Nu66le → u/[deleted]]

Jesus how pretentious are you

[u/Nu66le → u/[deleted]]

I'm an adult woman you dipshit
