>someone decided to make octangular plates and thought it was a good idea
Why?
>>37322182
probably an american person
americans use pounds aswell the strange people
>>37322182
probably cheaper
>>37322182
So they won't roll away when you place them down.
>>37322182
Can grab them easier

>he doesn't use Olympic plates
What's the matter with those?
>>37322195
That is
LITERALLY
the problem
>boo hoo I can't deadlift with a slightly uneven bar : the thread
>>37322221
what the fuck are you on Anon?
Found in shitty gyms which forbid deadlifting (idk why, for people's safety or floor damage or something third...)
>>37322214
There a pain in the ass when you deadlift because if the bar moves too far way from you when you bring it back down In between reps you can't just roll it close to you like with round plates.
>>37322214
When you lower them to the floor they have the tendency of hitting the floor with the corner, then moving one of the sides out of position (which can throw you off a bit too).
As they're not round, you can't roll them back into position.
So you have to keep moving around and adjusting your stance, or lifting one of the sides and trying to settle them down in the proper place.
>people call them hex plates
>people call them octangular plates
>actually a dodecagon

My gym (portland state university) has octagon plates in the racks, benches, and machines, and dedicated bumper plates at a pair of olympic platforms.

This rustles me as well. Why not go the whole hog and call them square plates? Or triangular plates? Cos, you know, counting is for nerds.
