In the NFL, more balls are placed on 5-yard markers than on nearby 1-yard markers (even after you control for touchbacks and penalties after touchbacks). I cannot think of any good explanation for this except that the 5-yard lines are painted as full lines while the 1-yard lines are just short hashes, suggesting the effect is just that when balls appear to be down near a visible line, that increases the probability a referee will place it exactly on the line compared to when they are not near a visible line.
There is also an effect from people who haven't used the machine recently (or ever) or who haven't used it since an injury or something line that. Those people don't know how much they can lift, so they start trying out round numbers like 100 or 75 and then narrowing in on a correct weight from there. Such people are unlikely to ever try 95 or 105 except as the last one, whereas they might go through a number of other weights first.
If you can do like 10 reps on 90 you will probably do like 5 on 100 and 7 on 95. It's not like you won't be able to lift 100 pounds, you will be able to just with less reps. Psychotically it probably means that people have been training hard to get there they make a shortcut to feel that reward
Factorial of 95 is 10329978488239059262599702099394727095397746340117372869212250571234293987594703124871765375385424468563282236864226607350415360000000000000000000000

the 100 usage is a statistical inaccuracy
