If you are doing a particular excercise using big weights and the bar feels extra heavy, or extra light, it may be because it is. Some 45 lb olympic plates will be off as much as 7 lbs from my experience in weighing many. put pne that is 4 lbs over on one side, and another that is 5 lbs off on the other and your load is 9 lbs heavier than you thought, and it feels like a ton heavier. It goes to reason if they are light, you will feel like superman. What is the answer to this?? There really isn't one if you workout in a commercial gym. If you workout at a home gym like I do, weigh all your plates and always use the matched pairs.
I have weighed HUNDREDS for a couple gyms and friends over the years on certified scales, and they vary a LOT.
