So I was at the gym and it hit me! Why dont they just make barbells out of lighter weight materials? That way, you can lift the same amount but it will be lighter!

More stacking.

“Brah, I had to stack on 20 10lb full size weights, it barely fit on the bar. “

“Which weighs more; a pound of feathers or a pound of rocks?”

Trick question! Pounds is money, but people only buy rock in dollahs, son.

Nah, they do a carbon conversion on newer weights. So 45lbs barbells will also say they only weigh 20kgs (which some EU abbreviation for carbon equivalent, like how lbs = pounds). So if you put on 220lbs of kg, it is the same workout as 485lbs of iron. So check if they are doing lbs or kgs since they look the same. Works similar to wind chill factor compared to actual temperature.
