One of the gyms I go to has free weights in Kg. Sometimes I do the math wrong and totally confuse myself.
Surprise today is that I accidentally bested my deadlift PR by more than 10%. 🥳

Deadlift is probably the only place that would have happened, because it’s so scary to do the heaviest weights there. A trainer friend has been encouraging me to go heavier with my deads but this was oops!
Also it’s a great lesson in how we screwed up the transition. We tried to teach kids conversion math when we just should have said, “this is a kilogram” and a week later it would have been familiar and done.
I used to watch people do exercises with them and do double takes with confused looks. They thought they were weak that day.
